BST Ediquite Question:

[Leon]

I believe this issue was just an honest mistake but with 20-20 hindsight the card should have been held, imo. I believe the seller sent a reply back to the buyer, buyer had to run to a meeting and couldn't reply back, and seller had a few other anxious buyers and sold it.

Since the seller didn't hear back (in time), as the potential buyer was in a meeting, he sold to another anxious buyer. A mistake but an honest one, imo.

If someone says "I will take it" then really a short waiting period should be in order. If someone tells me they will take a card it's theirs. We can work out the details later. I sold one on the BST very recently the same way.

It was a nice card. Maybe what SAllen said is what happened. I missed out on it also and I've been looking for one too.

It is not what SAllen said. It was a non reply AFTER saying "I will take it", that got the card sold out from under him and it shouldn't have.

BTW, I always look at timestamps and have reversed sales (fairly imo) as someone else said something first.

Totally fair. After being told I 'won' a card I've received an email later stating something to the effect of, 'sorry, I didn't realize someone emailed me 10 minutes before you did...' I completely understand this and it's only right.
