This reminds me of an incident I had a few years ago. I was trolling ebay and came across a listing having a small lot for sale. The seller had posted scans of the fronts but none of the back. I emailed him and said I was interested in the cards but would need to see scans of the back.

He replied the next day by saying "I don't scan backs for anybody." I wrote back and said "That's fine, I don't buy from just anybody." I would have walked away until he replied, "Fine, I don't care if you buy from me or not." It got to me and I said "That's ok, if you don't mind that I tell anyone who asks me about your listings if I tell them that you must have something to hide because you won't share scans of the back." He put up the scans that night. (But I still didn't buy them, they didn't look the best.)
