Living in the south, means there aren’t really any shows and I’ve never hit the FB forums, so I do a considerable amount of buying and selling on the BST.
The bay fees and hassle are a pain, so I’d rather pass things along to board members when I upgrade or move things around. The BST also lets me do some great trading and if I find something that I need to charge until I can get some things sold to cover the tab the BST is the place.
I’ve spent anywhere between $30 and a few K on cards this year, from the BST, and I’ve sold about the same. I’m not trying to make $ very often, unless I got a steal on eBay, just usually free up cash when I make an upgrade or see something fun.
I do love the BST, but it was really awesome back during my first time here in 2008-11. Of course things were a lot cheaper then, so you could do a lot more deals without blowing your budget back then. There were far fewer auctions then, as well.
Long live the BST!
Bob
