I posted this in another category, so please delete this if that's not allowed. I'm just really curious to learn about a globe I found today. I know nothing about them.
Can someone help me with this?

This globe sold on ebay and the seller (the guy that started this topic) backed out.
Zoomzoom the time to ask about the globe's authenticity and value was before you sold it on ebay.

The buyer is a veteran collector with a very good reputation in the hobby. His account of what transpired is quite different.

That's fine and I'm sure he's a good guy. Do you know anything about this globe?

Typical poor me BS.
No one tried taking advantage of you. You offered the globe with a buy it now price on ebay. The buyer accepted the offer.
You chose to cancel the sale. The heat you're getting is the price for backing out of a deal.

"I'm sorry your experience in the petroliana community has been so bad. You're right, greedy dealers and pickers take advantage of collectors quite often. Some of them have even ganged up (colluded) to raise prices artificially."

And that heat is not hot enough.
Regardless of your lineage, what your level of education is....No matter what your job title is, the size of your collection or the number in your bank account...It's your word, morals, and ethics that comprise the value of any individual.
Plain and simple, it was the wrong thing to do Zoomzoom.
