If you don't see the point, never mind. Maybe I don't have one.

First of all, 3 people contacted me before Don ever made the post, 2 of which advised they saw that the card was going to an AH is off the market so would i consider taking more than my original asking price. Second, it was not like i was saying its going to auction for days while bumping the thread like we see on with others. I would contend there is more drama in that. My thread was short and sweet, took 1 or 2 days, card sold..short and sweet. No drama at all and no one complaining. A little salesmanship is not ridiculous. I discussed some prior great listings and I said this was also a great listing. It appears it was as I was getting offers more original asking price. That also occurred on some of my prior listings like the 1954 Topps PSA 7.5 Banks. Its not like i was making up the current auction results. Everything I sad was the truth. My cards do not have the reputation of being forever listed so I do not think it is bad to bring up some past great deals.
Your post basically saying I was doing something wrong and telling me how to handle it on my b/s/t is what started the 'drama'. Plus you are the one that takes issue of extra comments on b/s/t. Thus, you admit that you maybe dont have a point in your comments yet those comments were polluting my b/s/t thread. I wold think if someone maybe does not have a point and keeps replying again and again on someone's b/s/t thread they can just admit they were wrong and move on. Thanks
