I have tried selling on bst and gotten haggled to death, but guys are pretty respectful when you write "firm" next to the number. If you know what your card is worth and you knock off 10%, it is worth a shot on bst first.
I have seen some great cards up, but the prices are WAY over vcp. As someone mentioned, this board is too educated for that. This doesn't mean vcp is the end-all-be-all. If your card is dead centered and the last 3 sales of that card in that grade are low, you have every right to set a premium, and guys on the board appreciate that too. I just don't see the harm in putting it up for 2 days before shipping off to Pwcc.
