Nice to see someone honor their word. Yea don't give him a grand, just hold it. It will work out for you in the end,

It has nothing to do with being a weasel or being a man of your word. If you ask to cancel a deal it is up to the seller to say yes or no. There is nothing wrong with asking.

The seller also CHOSE to list his item with no questions asked returns (with a hefty potential "restocking" charge ... It is pretty hard to put a card back in a box). That means returning an item is 100% legit for any reason and there is nothing wrong with it ---- and that is what the seller wanted. This is not a no return listing. I do find it interesting to learn that there are apparently people out there who have never returned anything in their lives.

Back when you typed in your bid amounts, I once accidentally added an extra digit to a bid in a major auction. Think $50,000 instead of $5,000. Happily, there was no other bidding and nothing financially harmful came of it.
