I wasn't personally involved, but there's a post over on the B/S/T where someone listed a pretty large list of cards for sale, got quite a few responses, and has seemingly disappeared. |

Adam, I have never understood why people don't post scans with their BST listings. "Email me for scan"--wtf is that? Is the card like a $20 million house that only the most qualified of potential purchasers can view? Doesn't it take more effort to send out scans to a number of individuals than to just post the scan on the board? |

brother........it takes about 2 seconds to post on photobucket through the board and then EVERYONE can see the card. Sometimes I don't even want a card but like looking. If someone gets 5-6 emails how much of a pain can that be responding to all of them attaching the photo. But........same deal......if you post or send the photo, the person should have the decency to quickly let you know........... |

I for one have had issues in the past with scanning with my Mac. I have finally figured it out, but it is a little screwy to get the job done. Even so, if I am selling a large lot of cards, I doubt putting 50+ scans on the BST would work out. I completely agree though in regards to a handful of cards or less. Put the scans on the board unless you really don't know how to post them. |

I agree with the comments regarding communication and scans. It is just a common courtesy to reply when someone has taken the time to either send a list, scan, etc... or even a request for more information. |

Never had a proble with b/s/t and still don't think there will be in the original case. As one of the first responders in the mentioned case, I understand life does throw curve balls to you that would buckle the knees. no $ has been exchanged, although I was thinking that being awake at 1 in the morning was a fortunate thing. |

Judging by the number of times sellers have thanked me for letting them know I'm passing on a card that I've requested scans of, there must be a heck of a lot of people who don't get back to sellers. Brutal. |

I absolutely agree with the folks above. POST A SCAN. Who buys a card without wanting to see a scan? You will have to do it anyway. The only reason I can think of is that the seller has something to hide, something he does not want to make publicly known. Not to name names, but it is usually the flippers that do not post scans. My suspicion is that they don't want the people they just bought from knowing they are flipping the cards. I think some people don't realize how transparent their activities are. On a related note, don't pretend to be a collector if in fact you are a dealer. There is nothing wrong with being a dealer, but be honest. |

Pet Peeve - Making a new post in a thread to say "SOLD" thereby bumping a post with nothing left to sell to the top, and all the others that still are of interest down to the bottom. If nothing is left to sell, just edit the original title and add the word "SOLD." |

It's not a question of inability or laziness, nor is it b.s. I do agree that scans are required and imperative when selling on eBay. In email sales and on the B/S/T (and even on my own website), I rarely post scans. I will send them to serious customers, however, in a private email. I do, however, agree wtih your feelings on "make an offer". |

Just because they have self-checkout lanes at the grocery store doesn't mean you have to use them. Especially if you have no idea how that "scanning thing" works. And especially especially if you have two carts of items. |

Rob - my wife and I have learned to use the demographics of the store to decide when it is prudent for us to use the "self checkout" line. If I lived in Palm Springs, FL, I'd never use it. |
