Stolen Card Story Takes an Interesting Turn

[mybestbretts]

I agree you were very wordy, but I will tell you, I am really tired of
buyers that contact sellers directly to stop auctions or after the auction
is over contacts the seller to sell it to them. The sad part we always know
who the buyer is. In my case its one of 3, but mostly one. When I faced
off with him he said "oh, I thought it was someone else". Does that make
it right? I personally think it makes the person someone I really would not
want as a friend or associate. Cheaters are cheaters.
I have been sometimes surprised when sellers say "no", but most times greed steps in.
This week an auction started at 99 cents. It had a card that I immediately
placed a bidnapper at $150.00. The dealer stopped it immediately and put
it on a buy it now auction at 49.95. It was quick and gone. Well, Mr. seller
you got had!

Did you place a small bid as well? Sometimes that is enough deterrent to keep an item listed, but sometimes they cancel all bids anyway.

Unfortunately, I forgot that I should have made a bid to keep from having
this problem. It's been awhile. BUT, I have now been reminded!
