What's the deal with this T206 on ebay?

[drc]

Nearly everyone on this board has resold for a loss so flipping for a loss isn't something to be unduly embarrassed about.

I appreciate that BUT it was never my intention to sell the card a.k.a. Flip It.

And this has now snowballed into some subtle accusations...

I posted a thread wanting to buy t-206s and bought one. Then I sold it on eBay yesterday. Then Jim VB comes along and says that the card was bought on eBay before it was sold to me on Net54. And the person who bought it on eBay before is the same person who just bought it from me yesterday. If that is true, THAT is insane. That would mean that someone bought a card, sold to me at a $60 loss and then bought it right back from me for more than they sold it to me. Can you actually verify that's what happened Jim VB?

I ddnt even know the old eBay auction existed, but how can you see the winning bidder? As the seller, I obviously know who won it from me yesterday. If I say, am I breaking any eBay rules?

Click on the ebay links that Jim provided. Then click on Bid history of each link. You will see that the same user purchased both cards (6***F) with 41 feedback.

I gave you the links to the two auctions. Next to "bid history", click on the number of bids and you'll see they were won by the same bidder.

O.K., I just did that. You're right....the guy who bought the Devin originally, is also the guy who bought it from me yesterday. I didn't want to confirm his username since only sellers are supposed to know buyers identities, and I didn't want to violate anyone's trust. But his username on eBay is not piedmont150 like it is in Net54, so I wasn't sure.

I have no idea why piedmont150 sold it to me for a loss and then bought it right back from me. But I do know that I didn't do anything wrong (just bought here and sold on eBay without knowing who anybody was) and I don't think there are any laws against owning the same card twice. And piedmont150 doesn't seem to have any advantage by buying it back at a loss...I mean he can't be trying to inflate the price since it keeps coming down. So I don't even know what you could be accusing anybody of, Jim? What am I missing here?

And let me ask you this, how was I supposed to know ANYTHING at all about who owned the card or how it was acquired before it was sold to me on this forum? And am I supposed to monitor every person who buys a card from me for any weird activity in the past? I can't even see who wins the auction until it closes!
