I've made a few trades that started on the BST. The toughest part is having two parties that have a clue about card values and neither needing to feel they have to come out ahead. The way I see it, if I'm on the "under" side of a trade, then it's because it was my choice and I did so because I wanted to add something to my collection that I'd otherwise have to pay for. I like trading, it used to be a fun part of the hobby many years ago.
The BST isn't dead. You just have to be patient and wade through a lot of stuff that is more than optimistically priced.

Not at all directed against Fred, but proving my point that people complain when the seller doesn't list a price, and most of the time when they do.
