Anonymous1. I have no problem with flipping on the b/s/t. If an item is listed for too outrageous an amount it will not sell. If an item is sold and the buyer is happy with the price I do not see any harm.
2. As Edacra points out, this is one of the few places that actually fosters trading. Seth is perhaps perplexed by trades being lumped in with sales in the b/s/t. It is a bit of an anomoly in the world of pre-war cards. Everywhere we look we see auction after auction after auction after auction. Sales, sales, sales. To me, sales are all business, while trading evokes the emotions Seth speaks of, helping your fellow collector and feeling part of a collecting community. Perhaps the solution is to split the b/s/t into two sections, one for buy/sell, and one for trade. However, this may be a bit drastic. . . I have been very pleased with my dealings on b/s/t as it is now set up. . .
