Dave & Adam's Card World ...

This is a much more reasonable argument to make. Those are all things I've thought about.

They have 55 people working for this company, and there are people at the computers constantly.

I've spoken with the owner now, and had a good conversation. By tomorrow I'll see if they prove they're one of the best in an endangered business.

Card dealers are mom and pop shoe-string operations, many of them barely make a profit and its mainly a labor of love for the dealer. I understand their need to dual list their cards on their site and on eBay, and I don't expect them to be lightning fast with pulling a card off the other listing when it sold. What if the dealer was at his kid's baseball game or whatever, two hours isn't much time at all to be away from you computer!

Sure that would be nice if dealers employed someone to always be at a computer to prevent this, or had sophisticated software that would do it automatically, but c'mon, give em' a break, there are already an endangered species...
