About three or four years ago, there was a Titus T206 priced significantly under its value. It wasn't a $1,250 card, but IIRC the card was a couple hundred off what T206 Titus' were selling for at the time.

There was a huge thread on here about the ethics of buying the card. Many of the posters on here took the stance of "too bad for the seller."

Being an engineer, I look at numbers with a discerning eye all the time. Statistics, prices, totals, etc. On a regular basis I see items priced as .99c (.99 cents). It bugs me, but I've never tried to buy the item for less than a penny and wouldn't expect a store to sell me the item for that price. Or buy a hundred for $0.99

Anyone else notice this or try to make the purchase?

Mistakes happen. And if this kind of thing happened to me as a buyer with an established seller like this, I wouldn't expect to receive the card nor would I file a negative against him or her.

I couldn't have a card like that in my collection, if it had been won at the expense of others, in such a negative manner.

Honesty is the best policy.

If a bidder told you they put in the wrong amount by mistake would you ban them from future bidding, insist they pay for the item they won, or say that's ok and relist?

Once again not the issue that we are dealing with. You don’t list a card by simple pushing a few numbers real quick. Check the eBay community Boards. Many people have this issue. They are not big time like probstein. And yet most shipped and took the lose. Beware of all the people here saying that integrity and honesty is not the answer. At least we see your true colors.

Don’t be confused by have to’s and should. It’s even against ebays rules to cancel the purchase. He’ll get a defect for it. People are literally standing by and saying yeah break that rule then with the same breath. Saying what’s wrong with the world today? Hahah I wonder ?
