My Dealings with Memory Lane...GREAT read :/

It was accepted before it was rescinded, as I read the chronology. An offer that does not specify a time for acceptance remains open for a reasonable time. A day surely seems a reasonable time. JP should, in my opinion, honor the bargain struck. If he no longer was able to take the price he had offered because the consignor repriced, he should have told the OP BEFORE the OP accepted.

Peter and Eric,

I do appreciate your commentary. For the record, your assumptions are correct. There was absolutely no "rescinding" of the deal from Memory Lane. Absolutely not. I took one day to consider their deal, and took it. The next morning is when I was told they would not accept the deal.

I mean, technically, doesn't that still constitute a legally binding offer? I was pretty sour about the whole ordeal. I mean, I'm not top 3 money spenders in the hobby, but I thought this treatment was, frankly, crude.

Look at the bright side: at least you're not an 80 year old grandmother from Brooklyn who received a cold call from JP. It could always be worse, trust me.

Be patient that card has a print dot right after the word Babe on the front of the card, Another will come by and you will know it's the right card for you. As for the $4450.00 You still have it in your pocket and with the way this economy is that's nothing to sneeze at. They will be a long time trying to unload it. I'd rather be you then them. Good luck and take your time.

"I can no longer do the one on eBay for 4750 as the consignor re priced it yesterday."

What horrible customer service. Renege on a deal, then assign the blame to your consignor.

You did your part in reporting this, as many others will read about it. I'll be glad to never deal with them in the future.

With the cash still in your pocket, smile with your head up knowing your money is more appreciated elsewhere!

It has become fashionable lately to blame a high price you're asking for a card on someone else.
