Ah its easy to do when its obvious....its a good plan when its an easy call.


So now this thread means nothing..was no real bidding war.....lots of fake 'sales' out there....its the norm..

we already relisted BIN $750 so if the underbidder wants it, he can get it for a fair price..and it could have easily been two legit bidders so no one really can tell from the bidding pattern if it was one way or another, we have seen many cases of two bidders bidding up a card that was not expected results after many years on e bay.

well when that happens again they can point it out here. Until that happens this thread is the last example and it wasnt a real one..... there are many examples in the past of fake sales as well....so will be interested to see the next 'sale' thats posted

if someone was willing to pay 1209 for the card..not sure why they wouldnt pay 750...maybe 700 if you offer them a direct deal as well...

the 1209 guy could be another fake account as well....correct me if im wrong and that bidder wants to post here to say that he was a real bidder at 1209 but wont pay 750 a day later and ill stand corrected assuming he wont pay the 750....

The underbidder was legit and he has bought from us before and has great feedback. Maybe he did not see our e mails being today is July 4th which is holiday, or maybe he just changed his mind but it was not a fake bidder.

If he doesnt buy the card and had a $500 dollar discount on a $1200 'win' essentially and even more in a direct deal and doesnt buy the card...not sure thats a legit bidder that simply changed is mind...though others will disagree with me...

hopefully he will just buy the card and everything is legit...or you can always just list it for auction again if its heat of the moment that gets you the big prices and people avoid BINs..

i know you run real legit auctions and had nothing to do with with the antics that happened....my issue is with the 'two people that want it badly' which is the name of the thread

Also a person buying a card before doesnt make them legit..they are legit until they aren't....just like good renters..they are great renters until they miss rent..

Baseball cards are a quirky and impulsive business sometimes, people will overpay to "win" an auction and will avoid BIN pricing even if its less, sometimes bidding is done in the heat of the moment and that thought vanishes after its over with, but the underbidder is a buyer of good quality cards and whatever reason he has, if he wants the card, he has been contacted fairly and notified of the situation. If someone else wants the card, its now being offered at a BIN, best offer and if no one wants it, well its not the end of the world. Logically, I do not disagree with you, if it was a legit offer, he's getting a very good savings but maybe it was a spontaneous thought.
