Something about this ain’t right.

She puts it on Ebay, and somebody calls and says they want it.
So she gets suspicious that it’s worth alot of money and effectively tells the guy to get lost.
So now she’ll rack in a ton of cash because she hosed the dude.

You would think that IF you were the dude that got hosed. If you were the owner if the card, not so much.

I say more power to the owner of the card, I hope they get as much as possible for it.

I’m somewhat suspicious of the “no bids” claim.

I agree that it's usually unethical to remove an item from an auction just because the seller finds out it's worth more than originally thought, but the article says that there were no actual bids (only inquiries) on the card when it was removed. The guy should have taken a chance and made a bid.

She does seem to be an odd and somewhat ditzy woman.

Even so, the guy blew it when he called and said end the auction now and sell him the card immediately. Can’t get too upset about the guy getting screwed when he was trying to screw anybody else who might have bid on it after him.
