It's interesting to me that after this, Adrian doesn't actually own any cards yet. I'm sure the dealers don't mind "holding" inventory that will otherwise just sit there, but what if he starts throwing bids in REA? Not cool imo.

Good God I will not be doing that!!! You are over thinking this way to much. If I chose to bid on that specific auction I will make 100000% sure the funds are in my bank before hand....I know auctions are not the same and dealers on Ebay with their rules.....dear Lord!!!

When I purchased my cards I had told ALL the dealers about my coin sale before buying the cards....out of pure respect to them!!! And ALL where OK with it after talking to me over the phone or via web.

I even offered references to ALL of them but they all refused that option.

Agreed. Some of the dealers he mentions do have a lot of expensive inventory that I've seen sitting on eBay for months on end if not longer. In these cases it would not be a big deal holding items that haven't sold and may not sell for quite some time. I can think of no other case where a seller would put items on hold based on a promise from a buyer.

Reread your whole comment and do agree...
