Why do you feel badly for a guy who RENEGED on a done deal? I don't get that.

Because now, more than likely, he is going to have a black mark by his name and no one will want to deal with him. In this business, especially when you do not deal with people face to face, and only though the computer, your reputation means more than anything. His future dealings will be affected by this dealing. And that is why I feel bad for him.

I don't get what you are saying at all. It's a problem completely of his own making. He should have a black mark by his name, he reneged on a done deal. If he wants the black mark erased, he can do the right thing, acknowledge that he made the wrong judgment, and honor the deal.

Yes..I'm not doubting you. One can still feel empathy.

Yes, and I feel badly for the victim here, not the perpetrator. What's the downside to doing the right thing, being temporarily without a 51 Mantle? I've been looking for months for the right one and I'm fine.

There's an old lawyers joke somewhere in here:

Sir, there's a Sue waiting for you in your office.

[ALR-bishop]

Great Peter. Now both guys know they do not have the right one, and if it does come along, there you are

I feel badly for him as well...maybe next time he won't sell his card until he has the replacement in hand. Like I said, BOTH people can learn something from this transaction.

I don't see what's wrong here...it is the the BST afterall.

Buy
Sell

Actually at one point, the seller had both the card and the payment.

Just because he still had possession of the card does not make it his.

Eric honored his portion of the agreement by paying the seller.

The seller's next move should have been to put that card in the mail.

Its that simple!

Lesson learned by both the OP and me as well. Too bad it had to happen like this.
