Huh? Comments such as these only take away from the core points you are trying to make. So by not agreeing with you I am now insulting you?
That is very interesting.

I am not against pricing data, I donÂ’t think anyone is required to give me or an organization their data and I donÂ’t really care. I donÂ’t and never have used VCP. I manage to price most cards fairly easily by following and participating in the hobby in real time for the sets I am collecting, but maybe thatÂ’s a struggle for other areas of the hobby. Must be kind of a mess searching key terms in the forum to pull BST threads and check them to price instead of using the easy methods.

You keep putting words in my mouth with each post. I never implied anyone is mandated to share info. I simply support the sharing of the data and feel it is critical information in any field of collectibles. I merely stated that if the asking price is there for all to see then just leave it not that the person who offered the item is required to leave it. It hurts nobody to leave it since it was volunteered initially. Why remove it?
I can assure you that you would be in the minority of people who do not need a site like VCP or accessing historical pricing data.
And I use many sites when I search values of certain things and yes I have done google searches and been lead to BST posts on many occasions. My collecting habits are always changing and I get interested in issues that years earlier I had no interest in. Again...the more pricing data I have access to the more it helps me.

Do I need to confess every private card transaction I’ve had to not be “ridiculous” or a “super douche”? Do I need to share this list of private deals on Net54, or other places too? I guess I just don’t care about other peoples private business as much as others do.

Last I checked the price of sandwiches or furniture did not vary over time like a card's price. Stocks and real estate are quite similar to cards. These are all industries that rely on comp sales. Please tell me the last time you wanted or needed to price a sandwich or piece of furniture based on a comp.
Deals posted on the BST are not private. I used " rather extreme verbiage" to describe a behavior or choice. As far as if
you are "ridiculous" or "a super douche" I will let you decide that.
