<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 669191, member: 16948&quot;]Regarding the issue with time, my point was that I think time does matter if someone wants to change their mind (rather than simply discover a mistake).&nbsp; And I was thinking more along the lines of coin values going up if a customer wanted to come back after he sold, say, a gold coin to a dealer and the next day the price of gold went up and now the customer wants more money for the coin he already sold to the dealer.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think it&#039;s fair, nor would I be inclined to pay the guy more money, because if it was reversed and the price of gold went down, should the dealer be able to go back to the customer and get some of the money back that he paid the customer?&nbsp; However, I might take the coin back and give him the original money, but I probably wouldn&#039;t do any more business with him either.</p><p><br /></p><p>If a mistake was made and caught &quot;timely,&quot; then I think both sides owe the courtesy of trying undo it or reach a compromise.&nbsp; If someone comes back quite a while later to try and undo a deal, IMO and I think most would agree, that&#039;s not so cut and dried and how I react would depend on the circumstances.</p><p><br /></p><p>While I am flattered that you took the time to find out more about me, you seem to be grasping at straws a bit in trying to compare my 1873 deal in my Penny Lady Story with your actions.&nbsp; You are over the top comparing apples to oranges.&nbsp; That was an AUCTION, not a buy it now - it wasn&#039;t a mistake like your deal.&nbsp; And the seller had 7 days to figure out whether he had made a mistake in posting the 1873 and could have yanked the auction at any time.&nbsp; Totally different scenario and a completely different type of transaction!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>And asking to undo an auction once it has ended brings on a lot more complications than asking to undo a simple cash-type transaction.&nbsp; With auctions, if a seller has remorse, it&#039;s usually due to the item not being sold for as high of a price as he thought it should go for (that&#039;s why many people set reserves).&nbsp; So IMO trying to get out of an auction sale shouldn&#039;t be treated the same way as your deal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
