PLEASE don't EVER do this to someone at the card shop/cards show......(i.e. ZIP IT)

And let's not forget Net 54 BST. Going on an active thread where a deal has already been struck and telling the seller " you hope he wasn't taken advantage of". When clearly what you mean "is I saw this late and want these cards and will pay more money" is wrong, unethical I think is the correct term.
There have been similar threads about this type of behavior on Ebay before but the recent example on BST is the clearest example of this type of unethical behavior I have seen in a long time.

From my experience in the hobby when the conversation about cost or money comes along people act very weird/strange. I’ve witnesses excitement, fear, shock and paranoia sometimes all at once.

Howard:
Yes it is Messed up. Leon gave the the offender an infraction. Go to BST under Modern 1980 and newer, the thread is 1979 1981 and 1983 Vending Boxes.

The seller priced $1000 in goods at $40. I felt compelled to let him know. I apologize, I was out of place and it won't happen again.

Sean: First 3 vending boxes 79 80 81 that have been searched and had the "big cards" removed are not worth anywhere near A thousand dollars. All the value is in the chance that you pull one of the "BIG" cards and that it grades high. is there some value for set collectors trying to get high grade commons sure.
But most importantly stepping on a deal is just not cool. I know you are a dealer and the dollars and cents matter. But at a card show, card shop, Ebay, BST, it dose not matter when two people agree on a deal stopping in is wrong. Even little old lady selling husbands collection if she is negotiating with a dealer at his table or in his shop stepping in is wrong. if She steps away then you are free to "help her"
I think twice in the Many shows I did I had another dealer attempt to step in while Myself or my Dad was negotiating and I politely using my best NJ manners moved him away and explained that when we were done he could step in and not before.
I know it is not easy when you see a card or a collection you would like sell for less than you are willing to pay. nut doing the right thing is not always easy.

Jonathan, my sleep schedule has been a bit shifted since I arrived back in the country last week and admittedly in a very late night stupor I made an error. I've already apologized for the error. I vehemently disagree with your comment about "dollars and cents" and find it to be rather rude, I believe my comments on the thread actually show quite the opposite.

I read the thread in question and in fairness to Sean it sounded like he was just trying to help the seller not get taken advantage of and wasn't trying to steal anyone's deal. I have personally done business with him a few times and was treated very fairly.
