1952Boyntoncollector Outing prices on BST?

[FirstYearCards]

First off I understand the hypocrisy of my posting in this forum.

Just a minor observance on some of the cards/memorabilia that I have been following. Seems Jake takes a snap of original list with price to some of the BST items. Is this so there is a record of the initial list price? Shouldn't the buyer and seller have some privacy of the potential sale price? I assume that's why the price is removed/changed to SOLD when transaction complete.

I was under the impression people could only post positive comments about the card in bst threads

Ted, I can't tell if you're kidding or if you never read that Cobb Red/ Lenox thread from last year.

I believe that's where Leon had finally posted "onky positive comments regarding the card"

What a ride that one was!


...and then it came back around full circle

Meh. Anybody who sees a price listed on the BST and buys the card is aware that the list price was already posted in a public forum. I usually ask buyers if they want me to delete the price when I mark a card as sold. Most of them don't care.

Not everyone removes the sale price..many list 'sold' so people dont ask them if the card is for sale. Sometimes when i replied to the sellers listing about a card and commented how it looks, the price may show on there but i didnt think about it mattering since the price was on a public forum..not a secret..

The seller can always not list a price and and send messages back and forth. How many prices are listed on B/s/t the last 30-60 days...what percentage of them do you see me posting what you claim? less than 1%? Not sure what why you care to start a thread.

Any card for sale I have, you are welcome to do whatever you are claiming i have done. However i would feel sad seeing at least some of the prices i had for a two psa 4 centered t206 green cobbs i has listed knowing what they sold for today

This was brought to my attention a while back by another N54 member as well.

Because of this moving forward, any items that I post for sale here will be listed with the nomenclature of "dropping me an email if interested" rather than the posting of a price.

Problem solved!

That is correct. That is an option available.

However a quick search of your recent posts shows you have sold cards and you still list the former asking price on at least one .not pricey but it is what it is...i also dont see any posts from me on there or on any other thread you sold cards and have 'sold' on them....

I know it's a personal preference if you'd like the price to be known. Just wondering why you would go through the extra step of capturing the price and inserting in your post. Why not let the seller decide that for him/her self?

Some people press the "Reply" button and some people press the "Quote" button. That's probably all it is.

Buyer and seller privacy? Are you f&%*ing kidding? We are posting on a public board. There is no frigging privacy. I commend Jake for doing it. I am one who finds it so annoying when the seller deletes the asking price. While it is only an asking price and we have no idea what price was agreed to, it would be nice to be able to go back and see the transaction. Should we do away with VCP because it violates people's privacy? Give me a break.

+1. Why the effing sold price mystery? We're talking sports cards here, not the nuclear codes.

Greg and I don't always see eye to eye, but I'm in 100% agreement on this one. If you want to keep your asking price a secret sell it privately. Don't post it on a public forum.

I kneel and lock arms with you Tony....49% because I remove prices and mark cards sold also, and 51% because anything Boynton does annoys the hell out of me so it must be wrong.

^^ This X1000^^

WTF are people even posting anything in the BST threads besides a question, pm sent, or I will take it. All these nice card and other totally irreverent garbage posts needs to stop, it is not fair to the other sellers.

Once again Ben makes sense. The comments giving props to the card and the seller are purely ridiculous. They add nothing to the purpose of the post. Want to pat the seller on the back for listing a nice card then send him a PM.

I agree as well. However those types of comments are not what the purpose of this thread was about. Its about the sin of keeping the b/s/t asking prices on the thread by quoting a prior post... Maybe 1% of the time you see that from me whether intentional on not when you look at all the b/s/ts..

bnorth always disagrees, but as always, it looks like there are many more people on my side than his. It would appear that most people do not care about quoting an asking price on a public forum and its no big deal at all and makes no sense to make a thread about.... its baseball cards... ..heck even greg agrees with me on this one..thats should tell you something..

I have seen sellers on counter offers say 'i have more into the card on that' but i find that hard to believe if i see a recent 'asking' price for less (from a source where they got the card) than what the current offer is to them ...not sure how getting information is a bad thing

Agreed. GLWS, or whatever white noise comes out of these is quite annoying. If there is something I'm halfway interested in, and I see it bumped, I want to see that the added post is relevant in a BST way; not "Nice card...". ZZZZZZZ on that or other useless comments.

[Snapolit1]

With all the terrible terrible stuff in the news lately, I have to say, nothing pisses me off more that opening a BST thread and seeing where some jerk posted "Nice card" for no reason. Makes my blood boil. What the hell is wrong with some people.
