And, to me, you didn't need to post "I'll take it " after me because you had already agreed to buy it before me. Maybe you'd have been better off just staying silent and not creating any confusion. Don't you trust the seller to keep his word if he agrees to sell it to you? You didn't need to "announce" to the forum you bought it. Just my opinion.

And I bring it up because from my perspective it just didn't sit right with me. It had NOTHING to with the actual card itself. There will plenty of leaf robinson's to buy in the future. I know of a PSA 5 I can buy right now at asking price, but I'm not interested.

Again, what's done is done and I'm finally done.

Understood but i do believe your criticism is unfair. You are telling me to wait if i knew someone was having ongoing negotiations, which i didnt by the way. However, you learn that i already contacted him and you didnt appear to want to wait. Your basically accusing me of something that you actually tried to do. I didnt even know about your negotiations until after i bought the card.

Also if you were going to pay asking price, why didnt you just put ill take it. Why the pm sent. You seem to question what i wrote etc, but you should look at what you wrote. Its confusing to me that you were agreeing to pay asking price but took the time to say 'pm sent'

Its clear from my' ill take it' that I was willing to pay asking price (guess it wasnt a lowball offer), its not clear if you ever offered him that.

Like you said whats done is done, but i dont think anyone would agree i did anything remotely wrong. Due to the nature of this thread, i guess i am an easy target but i dont think anyone will agree with you that i did anything wrong in that transaction. I contacted him first, i offered listing price first and and for that you are critical of me.
