Awhile back my Brother Chris participated in a mail bid auction for a
hard to come by book. This particular numismatic book dealer has a
very stellar reputation. My Brother was the high bidder of the book.
He was very excited to have finally secured a copy! His high bid was
fair, however it was a bit lower than market value. To make this story
short, the dealer claimed to have "misplaced" the reference.
Please realize that you must never accuse someone of wrongdoing
without proof, as the accusation of someone who truly just messed up
would be worse than the perceived action!
With all of this said, the same dealer, had a copy of the same book
for sale at a show, later. He never made attempt to honor that one
mail bid auction. My Brother and I are both immpecably honest, and
sometimes we are left fealing that we do not garnish the same respect
as others, due to our (relatively young) ages.
I guess you do not have to be "new" to this hobby, to feel the cold
hand of business as usual.
