Yes and it too is pretty unnecessary. Posting a PM sent post will likely be seen after an email of that actual PM is received in this day where 99% of us are wired into our email 24/7.

There is an aspect to it of a dog marking its spot.

Yes that too but it is just excessive and typical of people but I will stop whining since it is taking this thread off topic.

The inane comments do not bother me as much as deleting the asking price. What if all of the auction houses, including ebay, only made the final price realized available to just the winner? Why are Net 54 transactions being given special treatment? It is really so silly.

Especially since sellers can just say 'taking offers' they dont have to put an asking price....plus most asking prices are fantasy prices anyway so whats the big deal. Nobody is going to give you $4000 for that 1933 psa 1 goudey ruth for a long time if ever.

We can always rely on the seller to say what he paid for the card previously, wink wink....

I always thought that that certain things in life are temporary but the internet is forever.....guess not..

Sorry, but I can't help thinking of this commercial:

Can't it be both? Can't we think it is silly to erase/hide the sale price, but still find it obnoxious that Jake takes it upon himself to be the historian and record keeper of the N54 BST?

We are talking about 1% of the b/s/t prices. I would be fired as a historian for sure. Next time you go look to buy a card, make sure to check out 1% of VCP. Maybe VCP will sell you a discount membership and provide you with 1% of the past sales.

Actually this is exactly why I use the "PM sent" option and will continue to do so. If a member is not logged onto Net54 they will receive instant email notification that a member is interested in something that they have for sale.

If they do not have email notification then when they do decide to log onto Net54 it will automatically respond with a pop-up window informing them that they have a PM waiting to be read.

We have some members here who do not log onto Net54 everyday and their B/S/T threads go unnoticed until they log on days or weeks later.

So a "PM sent" message is my way of covering the bases. If a member has something for sale/trade, they could possibly get an email notification or a pop-up window when they log on. If those two functions fail, then they will see my "PM sent" message and know that I'm interested in something they have for sale/trade.

At last, I finally made it. I'm officially part of the 1%.
Now where are my tax breaks?

Me too Todd. I can sometimes be found texting on my phone but I do not use it for much else other than a...phone. What a concept, eh? I get my emails when I am at my computer and only when I check for emails.

..it's been nine pages without a picture of a pre-war baseball card...you know the rules...

..White Sox Gerald "Gee" Walker Burke Postcard and a four-by-six standard Burke photo of a baby-faced Joe Kuhel who I think is about fourteen in this shot..

I have it on possibly good authority - the kids at the makerspace- that email is soooo dreadfully old fashioned. (My words, theirs were harder to understand)
