What's the deal with this T206 on ebay?

Let me first say "Buying to sell and make some quick cash" is totally fine with me. I am sure I have purchased hundreds of cards that were profitable for the seller. That's fine with me.

I question the authenticity of some of these auctions and how they reach their final sale price. It sounds and looks fishy to me and other Net54 members.

Why is someone selling a card and buying it back "fishy"? Stop speaking in generalities like a coward. If you have a specific accusation, make it. But I don't see how me buying a card on this forum for $180 and selling it two weeks later on eBay for $185 constitutes "fishy".

That's a BS thing that can be said to annoy anyone who is defending themselves. Why don't you grow a pair Rob and accuse me of something?

EDIT: if anything, I believe I deserve an apology. Haven't you ever bought anything on BST here? And haven't you ever sold any of those items on eBay? What would happen to you if the person who sold to you on Net54 bought from you on eBay? Would you then be guilty of some malfeasance? Even though you can't control who bids on your auctions on eBay? This has become F'in ridiculous. You and some of the other "adults" in this forum should be ashamed of yourselves. I've been buying and selling cards for 25 years. I'm sure many customers have come back to buy cards they've sold. I've never once been accused of any inappropriate dealing untilyou jackasses decided to jump to a ludicrous conclusion. Shame on you. Shame. You should reconsider what sort of person you are, and maybe amend your future "online" behavior.

I'm not accusing you of anything, JP. You just need to understand that when you ridiculously call for the locking of a thread and jump on the defensive like you have, you're not doing yourself any favors. And you only continue to make it worse. You obviously don't see it that way, and that's understandable.

I'm done. Go ahead and post the last word, which we know really won't be the last.

This thread is thoroughly confusing. I was trying to figure out how a Lajoie and SL card relates to this Devlin card. Then I followed the chain of custody of the Devlin:

18JAN10 - The Devlin (T206, PSA6) card is sold on ebay to 6***F (who is also known as Piedmont150 on N54) for $248.50

05FEB10 - JP puts a buy request in the N54 BST.

09FEB10 - Piedmont150 tells JP he has a card for $185 and JP buys it.

26FEB10 - An ebay auction held by JP for the Devlin card ends on this date. The final hammer price is $185.48.

So let's see what's up. Piedmont150 (N54 ID is Doug Moore) buys the card on ebay for $248.50. Lets say he gets the card a week later, that would be about 25JAN10. He owns the card for about 15 days and he sells it to JP for $185. Doug loses about $65 on the deal.

Lets say JP gets it on 16FEB10. 10 days later the auction ends and JP gets $185.48 for the Devlin. JP loses a few bucks on the deal because of ebay fees, etc.

Is that about the jist of it?

Yup, that's it. Pretty simple. Thank you for summarizing it so people can follow along correctly.

Only change I'd make is I think I got the Devlin only after a couple of days. Then I put it up on the 20th as a "buy it now" with "best offer" for a few days, then canceled that 3 days later and immediately relisted it as a 3-day auction, which ended on the 26th. The rest is right, though.

Here's the listing I had: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=300399154298
