Fuzzy auction logic/math

Card was a 19th century cabinet. The seller doesn't appear to sell "older" cards as part of their inventory. Just seems odd.

Maybe he bought it thinking it was going to be a standard-sized baseball card and then when it showed up much larger than he anticipated he decided he didn't want it anymore? lol

Not only did the seller lose $ on the actual price, but his eBay fees will be $108 for this sale.

Very recently I took a loss on a card because I wanted the money to buy another card. It happens, and my guess is, fairly often. I also paid a lot more for a card I recently bought than it was auctioned for just a few months ago. Collecting isn't always rational.

Or possibly, because there were no bids until the last second, he may have asked a pal to bid on it, subject, of course, to full reimbursement, so as to save himself the embarrassment of having it go unsold. Then figure out a new strategy to unload the card.
