Antique Dealer Reneges, Blames His Wife...

A good rule of thumb is to pay for the card quickly before he has a chance to find out more about it. I would have given him the $20 and then walked away. However, his actions were still wrong.

Looking back on it, it's easy to say that, but that's one of the first cards I ran across in the box...who would ever expect a dealer to renege on a quoted price while you were still looking through his stuff? Plus the show was closing down...most dealers were packing up their stuff.
