Jeff WilliamsI would like to know what the rules are in regards to posting comments on the BST. Can anybody post anything or is the BST just for selling cards?
Recently, I felt like I came under fire from another board member because I posted a card for sale that I previously had for sale in another listing a couple months ago. He said that I had this card listed for a cheaper price and that he had emailed me previously to buy it.
The first time I saw his comment was on the BST the following day that I had posted. So, I decided to email him regarding the situation. When I went to email the guy, I noticed that he had already emailed me. I then sent an email to him saying that I was upset that he had posted anything on the BST. That we can handle the situation privately and that I felt posting a comment on the BST was unnecessary. He said he emailed me the night before (which he did) and that was ample enough time to respond. I apologized that I was not at my computer awaiting his email and that I dont have the time to spend on the computer every minute waiting to see if somebody emailed me.
I was going to let this whole issue pass without a word. But thinking about it, If I chose to place this card for 100 dollars more than what I previously posted this card for, would I be in the wrong? I dont think so. I feel you can price your cards for whatever you choose. Of course I know I would never sell the card at that price. But, I believe you can "try" to sell your cards at whatever the price you believe its worth.
I also believe nobody should be allowed to post comments on the BST, unless that comment is to purchase the card, memorabilia,etc.
I have always thought that I go above and beyond with packaging, shipping and insurance with the cards I sell. And, have never had an issue until now.
I do not want this to turn into a pissing match between myself and the other person. However, I do feel that this issue needs to be discussed.
