I've never sold a card but have enjoyed many deals on the BST for 1000's of $$$$$, I have never had anything but FANTASTIC experiences.
When a 4K Wagner Sporting life card was delivered falling out of the PSA holder, the seller had me send it directly back to PSA for Reholdering. I thought I could damage the card if I tried to move it as it was jammed inside the case, side to side. He got the card back from PSA in a week, took pictures and resent it to me. I was excited to get it back. Would you believe when I got it, the same exact thing happened and I could not pop the card back in.
He held my check the entire time, until I was happy which he didn't have to do in the first place. In the end, I just told him I don't think I could take it and it wasn't meant to be....AN EFFIN WAGNER, HONUS. With the Iconic Pastel Pose. F ME.
I sent the card back and he ripped up the check. I was devastated for the member, the card and not following through with the sale. I think we had a nice working history with about 20K worth of cards and $ changing hands, so there was a certain trust you only can get with the members here from the start.
After the response and excepting he was a moron, I could see myself doing the same thing on accident. I'd vote to keep BS. I wouldn't have sent the card back though. I would have just negotiated a credit and had it reholdered or just enjoyed the card the way it was. If I noticed it was tape at some point, I would have sent the negotiated amount credited back.
The BST board here is pretty sacred & respected and I certainly appreciate the ability to participate.
I only wish I had used it much sooner than I did.
