Seriously!

The buyer could've told the seller to pound sand when he was offered the card at $700. Sometimes depending on how long we have been looking for a difficult card our judgement may be unduly influenced and we might pay up. I'd like to think all of us have been in that situation. The buyer paid and now has a bad taste in his mouth. I also feel the seller should've completed the transaction for the original $400. After all, the card is still the same. He lost a customer and maybe several more depending on who the buyer shares his experience with.

Yeah, he'll lose a customer until he has something I need.

Yeah, just like folks will boycott an auction until that happens.
