Who got this smokin’ deal on this Goudey Foxx??!

I don’t think the word “honor” should be tossed around in a case like this. Honor only applies when a person has made a conscious decision and then goes back on it. A simple mistype, IMO, no.

I saw the listing probably minutes after the card was purchased. I don’t blame the buyer for snagging it, but I also would not hold the seller to it. BUT you better believe I would let THEM bring that up!

As far as “needing every customer”, or “the customer is always right”, I personally would not a customer who would hold me over the coals for an obvious mistake. Good riddance. My 2c

20% of your clients make 80% of your problem...or something to that affect. I've had to fire clients before. I think in this case it was blatant, but as in my Dean's cards debacle, he set the price, and then when the card sold he went back and realized he made a mistake, resulting in the one and only auction I remember Dean's cards ever listing. Again there is nothing I can find holding the seller accountable. Unlike Frank Prisco, Piedmont auctions who just takes thousands of dollars and never refunds or sends the cards

So.... did the card actually get sold for $250? Kind of doubt it.

It looks like the card is up for sale again for $1500 (same seller). I suppose that's got a 1 in front along with another $250. What happened to $1250?

Looking at other 1933 Goudey Foxx cards with a "5" grade, the final price range has been from about $550+ up to over a grand.

I guess you could look at the $250 BIN and determine it was most likely an error based on the seller and the volume of nice card listings they have.

If you were to have purchased it with the BIN price of $250, I suppose you could look at it like one heck of a bargain, but in the back of my mind I'd believe it was an error would just accept the excuse that it was listed in error.
I wouldn't like it, but I'd just accept it for what it is. I probably wouldn't neg the seller but would ask for a little latitude or $100 credit on a large purchase (lets say over $400) just to take some of the sting away. Or just be a generally good person and just say phuc-it.

Now, if they shipped the card to me and then asked for it back a week or two later, then things might be a little different.

Also, if this was a card that was not a BIN and it was listed in error and went the full distance, then I'd have to figure the price would have been much greater than the $250 starting price because there are a lot of savvy buyers out there and things like this just don't get past everyone and certainly not for a huge discount.
