OT/"Gazumping" coming to vintage cards soon

[ullmandds]

I agree with the previous thoughts...what I'm intimating is whether it will become more accepted for one to make a deal...then experience sellers remorse when they find their "sold" item is worth more than they sold it for...cancel previous transaction...and resell at a more marketable value.

This would suck...and could disrupt the whole resale market in my opinion?

Could be a boon for lawyers though?

I do think it is accepted. I know of it happening at least once or twice a week from friends or happening to myself. There are also eBay sellers that cancel auctions all the time if the price is not high enough for them.

Doubt it will help out the lawyers. Like altered cards and forgeries most don't involve enough $ to make it worth their time.

the apocalypse is near....whatever happened to "a deal is a deal?"

Just happened (or some variation of it) in a recent long, debated thread as I recall. I'm sure it happens more than reported or even noticed, guess whether or not it's "accepted" largely depends on the parties involved.

that's a good point ed...there was an incident on bst auction where I won an autographed kahns pete rose card and the buyer renegged because auction ended less than seller had hoped. It took the net54 gang's backing to facilitate the transaction...which I greatly appreciated.

This practice just really irks me.
