I would say that they have saved me the trouble of having to look at their listings in the future.

After reading this thread -- http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=121070 -- I understand the seller's explanation. He checked his e-mail before realizing he received PMs that were sent before the disgruntled poster's e-mail. If that's how it unfolded, it's unfortunate. However, it's not as cut and dried as "sorry, someone else offered more"

I'm glad someone can understand my mistake/explanation. I tried to tell Chicago several times via PM and the thread and apologized but he still doesn't get it. I even got a PM this morning telling me how I lost in the end because I could have gotten $350/each for the Hindus if I had posted them on eBay.

Exactly. He even made another offer for more than I sold the cards. If I was just in it for more $$$ wouldn't I have taken his counter-offer? For that matter wouldn't I just keep them and try to sell them for $350 a piece on eBay.

Without seeing the PM's this looks like the seller made a mistake, owned up to it, lost some money in the process and did the right thing.

This road looks familiar

Trust me Chicago if I ever gave any great advice on this board I am going to have to say let this go before it comes back on you. I agree you were the first to post, but there is no way of knowing if you were the first responder. I have sold many items and never had them post but got PM's instead. I always say that PM's come first in my sales. Send a pm and then make a post saying "PM sent." When a door closes another opens

As far as the cards I wish I would have seen them. I don't even collect 206's but I may have made a start from that
