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.

Its a big secret to know a price that is likely more than what i actually paid for a card? You guys are really going to complain and start a thread on this.. hmmm so im the annoying one that is interfering. I didnt start this thread and there are actual complainers about posting a price in a public forum and upset that their fantasy price is forever listed. Can always just not list a price if its so secret.

Heck many listings say 'if cant sell i will send to an auction house' I guess the auction house will delete the sale price when they sell it.
Damn im always in the minority. Still a dick move

Wish in one hand and actually BUY cards and contribute to the hobby in a positive manner in the other and see which fills up first!

Yes deleting asking prices is great for the hobby. Maybe you can convince auction houses and ebay (who are more egregious because they actually have sold prices not asking prices) to delete the sold prices....that will contribute to the hobby in a positive manner...

Im fine with not keeping asking prices on net54....but its not exactly a sin to keep them up..

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..

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?

It's totally marking territory. Today I found a card I wanted bad. I couldn't type "I'll take it" quickly enough. I then wrote him a pm. I considered smoke signals and a carrier pigeon. I think it's just a nervous reaction fearing you may lose it to someone who pm'd first while you were posting, or posts first while you are pm'ing.

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.

If you really want to see a thread take off, complain about a shipping charge.

So for those of us in your arbitrary 1% that would like prices removed after a completed transaction, we should now PM you to verify you won't quote the price? Shouldn't your info be added to the BST rules so everyone knows who to contact if they'd like privacy after a sale?

"So in the future if a member (buyer or seller) posts for me to remove a quoted asking price, that is fine as i will now know the member wanted it removed . Also the people that i know that never want it quoted ill heed that as well which appears to be 2 or 3 people thus far. Anyone else can pm me etc if they want to keep their posted asking price a secret. Again i think this impacts about 1% of the b/s/t listings." Post #70

Can do what you want but it appears nobody really cares except you. I dont even recall you listing any cards? You can also navigate the rest of the threads to see what else should be added as well to the rules. I did put out that i would gladly remove anything if requested so anyone can pm me and ill remove any. Thus far zero pms. (Not even a pm sent ) I think eventually i will get a couple of people out of the hundreds that post etc.

Also how is it arbitrary 1%, its less than 1%. So i guess you mean arbitrary meaning 0-1%

A couple days ago, I saw a card I wanted posted for sale at noon. I clicked on the link at 1:20pm only to see price was removed and marked sold at 1:00pm.

The main reason I visit here is for an education. I don't subscribe to VCP, so it would have been nice to learn approximately what the card sold for. I don't like it when sellers remove prices, but that is their right. It makes it much easier for flippers to deal with potential future buyer if history is erased I guess.

As far as Jake quoting prices in the thread, It's the internet people get over it. You want privacy, keep negotiations private.

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.

Guess that was one of the 99% of the links that there was no price quoted by me. I think your opinion on the matter is also the large super majority of the members..

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.

Partial quote here because I'm taking out the ignorant statements regarding how stupid other people are. IMHO while some folks may deem "nice card" as not interfering in the auction posted, I feel is does interfere with other listings by bumping them from the top, or the front page.

FWIW I do get frustrated when prices are removed once sold. I too come here for education, and to launch the joke. I use the eBay "Sold Items" option quite often. I missed an opportunity to purchase a card on BST a few weeks ago. I made the comment about wondering the price, and the seller (I won't out him) sent me a PM with the sell prices. I didn't share it, but I learned something... and also kicked myself for missing the opportunity to purchase a card at a price I would have been happy with.

Partial quote here because I'm taking out the ignorant statements regarding how stupid other people are. IMHO while some folks may deem "nice card" as not interfering in the auction posted, I feel is does interfere with other listings by bumping them from the top, or the front page.

FWIW I do get frustrated when prices are removed once sold. I too come here for education, and to launch the joke. I use the eBay "Sold Items" option quite often. I missed an opportunity to purchase a card on BST a few weeks ago. I made the comment about wondering the price, and the seller (I won't out him) sent me a PM with the sell prices. I didn't share it, but I learned something... and also kicked myself for missing the opportunity to purchase a card at a price I would have been happy with.
I bet the seller didnt say the asking price...that would of been the big secret.....

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)

Well it's a combo of Dilbert and I think Family Guy so I'm not exactly the creator, but I couldn't find any images of Dead Horse Jumping Shark, so I had to make one. Maybe it'll catch on

Supposedly the word "supposably" is in the dictionary. But I have never, and I mean NEVER, seen the word "supposively" written before. Thanks for enlightening me.

A couple years ago I lost out on a card because the seller said he never received my pm. Apparently there were technical issues that day. Sometimes I post "pm sent" just in case.

I recently learned that "literally" supposively can now mean "figuratively" irregardless of the fact that that is the exact opposite of what it means...
