Exercise Caution dealing w/Shawn Martin

[Leon]

As moderator I don't like the way this deal went down. That being said Shawn has been a good member and added value to the board. For now he is not allowed back on the Live Auction forum......

If members don't want to sell for a low price in that area then they need to start their auction off at the minimum they will accept or set a transparent reserve. Members should NEVER auction something they don't have in their possession. I am in the camp of finding the story very hard to believe......

I shouldn't have auctioned off a card I did not have yet. I messed up. Lesson learned

Why did you leave positive feedback for the seller on eBay if you hadn't received the card yet? That doesn't make any sense.

What also does not make sense is that the card was not sold in a lot????
Something smells very stinky.

If you would just sell Pete the card for $70 as agreed and make your $22 profit I would assume you would save face here and everyone would move on. I would recommend just selling the card. You are money ahead to keep good faith here and do the right thing. Everyone knows you have the card and it is seller's remorse. Next time put a minimum.

If there IS a next time, I suspect he won't be getting much business on this Board.

To sell me the card at this time would mean shawn Would have to admit that he's a liar... And I am guessing that he has taken this one too far and that will never happen.

This is not credible at all...it was on ebay, we've all seen the auction. It did not come from a grouping.

Golly - it sure doesn't take much to get banned from BST auction around here. I sure hope that the Wagner tobacco card arrives before my auction ends Sunday.

Shameless plug alert.
