<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Neil UK, post: 1973737, member: 70963&quot;]Has this ever happened to you?</p><p>I was looking through eBay Great Britain and came across a coin that I really needed for my type set (1826 penny). Actually for an upgrade, but whatever.</p><p>It looked XF/AU and seemed really undervalued at a $49 &#039;Buy it Now&#039; price.</p><p>It was a pretty new listing but already had two members watching.</p><p>I figured there was an issue with the coin (cleaning) or something else wrong that they weren&#039;t including in the listing.</p><p>So I bought it.</p><p>The next day I received a frantic (OMG! OMG! OMG!) email telling me that it was <i>supposed</i> to be listed for $499 and that they had made a mistake and forgotten that other pesky 9 and &#039;so sorry but we can&#039;t sell you the coin and thanks for understanding&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p>And I <b>do</b> understand that mistakes are made (<i>I would never make a mistake like that).&nbsp; </i></p><p>I was courteous and canceled the transaction as they requested.</p><p>Tough luck, right?</p><p><br /></p><p>I try to go through life not being a jerk, but I wonder had it been someone else, if they would have bullied them into selling the coin to them for the error price.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, well. I did score a nice VF+ 1821 half crown at a great price today.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
