Jim VBMB,
I think you misunderstood me. I have no problem with Bernie's post. Personally, I would never inquire about, ask for scans from, or do business with someone who puts in so little effort, but I'm perfectly OK with the rules as they are now and respect his right to list as he chooses.
My point, which you missed, was that on a day when we had close to 100 posts pertaining to good marketing practices, he comes along, apparently reads none of them, and lists a group of lower condition cards, without scans, without the offer of scans, and without a price.
Some people and business are just oblivious to what is going on in the world around them. They will NEVER change the way they list on the BST because any discussion had on that board or the main board WAS NEVER NOTICED BY THEM!
Since ebay started fooling around with some of their fees and rules, we have seen an increasing number of people use the BST who never post on this board. That may benefit many collectors because we get more things to view, but we're fooling ourselves if we think any thread will impact this behavior.
We're wasting time even talking about it.
