Pet Peeves?

[GrayGhost]

Leon, if u can think of a better place to put this, Do your magic sir. haha.

Anyways, we all LOVE Net54, but does anyone have a pet peeve w the site or in general? I don't want to upset people, just am curious

For me, the only thing is people don't always pay when they say they are, or such. Its rare, and most times, there are reasons, but it bugs me a bit, since I ship stuff and pay right away.

I have no issues w the site layout, etc. Plus, as we all know, its a GREAT place to be a part of

[Leon]

Even though I very, very rarely get involved in any transactions on the board, and 0 involvement is far and away the best involvement by a moderator, I do want to know about folks slow paying, not doing what they say they are....etc.... If someone backs out of a deal, and no harm was done, then it's probably not cause for too much concern. If they do it continuously then that is a problem. There have been a few of those we have had to weed out.

Many times if someone treats you poorly with a transaction on the board then they do it to other people too. I know of one person that just joined and is on the cusp of not being allowed on the BST. He is selling 2 fake T206s on his website, blatant fakes (really bad ones). I told him about them and he said he will just need to send them into be authenticated. I told him he is acting like an idiot and won't be long for our board if he keeps it up. I mean really, does anyone want to deal with someone that is selling really bad fakes and won't accept they are indeed really bad fakes? I am talking a 3 dollar bill here....not a card that could possibly be real. Over and over he defended them.....I know I don't want to deal with someone like that...

As as matter of fact he took 2 down and still has 2 fakes he is selling.....I just gave him a choice....take them off his site, sell them as fakes or leave our board....I won't knowingly subject our members to this kind of crap.

Thanks Leon.

I don't have any pet peeves regarding the board. Most of the things I would complain about are watered-down versions of problems that are much bigger on other forums. I even appreciate that Leon tells me to reel it in every now and then.

I do wish people would use their first names when sending emails and PM's - it's weird to me to start conducting business with someone, and not even know their first name.

+1 I would have to agree with Octavio. As far as transactions on net54, it's never been anything but a pleasure to deal with everyone on the board. I've been fortunate to have some terrfic items offered to me by board members, and I've been very happy to add them to my personal collection.

Leon,
Thanks for creating the net54 community, and many thanks to all of you that have helped fill some holes in my collection.

Funny, one of my pet peeves has already been mentioned. He just seems a little antagonistic, fwiw.

Site-wise, could we have an option to view more posts without the page loads? It may not be too much of an issue for long-timers, but as a relative newbie reading through some older 100+ post threads, it tends to get annoying.

Ohterwise, I've learned, I've sold, and I've bought. Maybe I've even contributed in a positive way. What more can one ask for?

I agree wholeheartedly. It is so unusual to me to get a message about something I'm selling or interested in buying without someone's name.

The prices on that guy's website are a complete joke. In many cases, he is asking 500 percent of retail for a RAW card. I probably have 15 Wade Boggs RCs in the same shape as this, that are collectively not worth $142. His same card can be bought on ebay for about $5.

Here's his price!

1983 Topps Wade Boggs RC #498 (Gem-MT)
MSRP: $275.00
Price: $142.49
You Save: $132.51 (48 %)

As much as the prices might be a joke, that is no concern of mine. Selling reprints as real, and using this site to do it (or at least tout the site), does concern me.
