Many of us know about the various ways to check sales histories but this guy has been here a month. He probably has no idea what cardtarget or VCP means. I feel like not letting him know this information in this particular instance would be taking advantage of him.
I'm not pointing out who is right and who is wrong in this particular situation. I just hate to see people bashing a guy over a lack of knowledge. He's just started here and already some are trying to run him off.
This is my opinion.

I agree. I like this place because for the most part, we look out for each other and do small favors for one another. Most people are courteous and don't take advantage of the lax rules on the b/s/t and each other. This forum is a much better place than the entire marketplace of our hobby. I know there are plenty of cold, calculated business decisions made in the hobby. I just like it better when they happen on ebay or somewhere other than our forum.
This is more of a general commentary than a reaction to this thread. I'm not bashing Todd. I have had plenty of good dealings with him, and he contributes a lot to the forum.
