"That seller's disclosure for the house you bought? Yeah, I sort of lied on a good deal of that. That white stuff in the basement actually is asbestos. And the roof wasn't replaced in 2007. Ooopsie!"

Yep, seems like we have a lot of sellers among us. Reminds me of the first time that I went on BST when I joined the board. I priced things way too low in a fear of not offending the royalty on this board. One guy buys a card from me for a very below market fair price. He then comes back to me on PM and tells me that the card was diamond cut - but in an effort not to ruin my reputation on the board in the case that he outs me (even though there was a large picture of the 58 Mantlet card that he could make me a fair judgement on), he tells me that I n=eed to refund $25 - half of the very fair $50 price that many people came on and asked for - but I honored the price to him because he was he first one to ask - and I refund him. Even though I told him to tear the card in half and I would send him $50, he told me that it was for his PC and he was just a bit offended that the card was not as described. I am sure that he would be quick to share comps with me on a $400 or $500 card. But because I didn't want to get a reputation as a bad seller on this site, I sent him a paypal for $25. So, let's make sure that every dealer and flipper on this site gets the absolute benefit of the doubt - lest we out someone for trying to get rid of some cards yet, I think his name was something like MLBtraderumors. You can go ahead and out me for a card that was fairly shared and if you thought it was a diamond cut, then you should not have bought it. But sure, let's go ahead and make sure that everyone is taken advantage by the sharps. I have tried to be a good citizen on this board. I know that I overpay when I buy and sell at a loss when I sell - but that guy tried to take advantage of me. SO, if there are any rules in BST that keep that sort of behavior from happening, then count me in on it. Does it protect a buyer in the case that it is an outright lie on the comps? Ok, well good for the buyer. Too many people have been taking advantage of too many people here - starting with the guy who was going to out me for selling him a diamond cut 58 mantle for $50 in 2014 and asking for $25 back - what a loser. Next time, I will insist that you tear the card in two and I will send you back $50 plus shipping. I am sure that I can buy and sell you and if you think that you getting an extra $25 from me makes you a winner then good for you. By the way - I am not shipping to Canada and I am glad that you couldn't weasel and extra $10 out of the price of my 48 Bowman Berra. If you would like to respond personally, then good for you. I would be happy to settle this face to face. But, your threat of outing me for selling you a diamond cut 58 Mantle with perfect images - you already got your $25 back and I will be just fine.
