Well if I learned anything today its that I'm not scummy.

The T205 I posted earlier was purchased by someone else. I could have nabbed it for $2, but I let nature take it's course.

Newsflash...this is a scummy hobby!

No offense, but that looks black to me, not brown. That's why i like staying away from the "subtle variation" game.

Serves the buyer right. Take a gamble, absorb the loss. Not like others asking sellers to add ridiculously low Buy it now prices...so they can then return if it's it no good.

Doubt there's a loss for this buyer regardless of the color it's determined to be. $500 is a great price for a Black example and a awesome price for a Brown. No loss either way with this group.

As grown men that accept responsibility for our actions we don't get that the world has changed. A grown man can still act like a little kid because nothing is their fault.

As far as the brown vs black, they are kinda hard to tell the difference with a picture on the internet. In hand in a well lit room or especially outside in the sunlight they stick out like a sore thumb. I am going through this with a gentleman right now. He accidentally sent me 2 brown backs so I returned them. Then he was going to send me another card for my troubles and when it arrived it was a brown back also. So now I am going to return it.

No a different card but with the same problem and the brown backs being insanely rare.

This hobby is a microcosm of the rest of society.

While it is certainly true that there is no shortage of unsavory people doing unethical acts, there is also many good people that do the "right thing," and also help their fellow collectors.

Some people have no problem contacting sellers to end auctions early...some people would rather let auctions run their normal course.

One would hope that there are ethical people at both ends of the transaction.

Some people have no problem contacting a seller after an auction has ended, and making a deal to acquire an item that they desire. Some people would believe this is case of an unethical seller, and an unethical backdoor buyer.

It happens...but it doesn't mean it's right.

I agree with this ^^^^ If you aren't educated or savvy about being able to tell the different between a Brown and Black Lennox, you should stay away.
