I've probably said this before, but unless you are using a sob story (anything from "My hamster died and he wanted me to have this card" to "I need it for my set and have been looking for 742 years") I don't really care what you do with a card that I sell privately. I got a price I was happy with, godspeed.

I am the same way and most I know feel the same way. Do what every you want with the card after you buy it, just don't lie to me to get a better price so you can instantly resell it for more.

This one is quite similar...

566. Crock and Pull Story
Someone joyously posting a card in the new pickups thread with a story about how excited he is to finally have one and it took forever to finally pull the trigger, etc...then a few scant days go by and you see he has the card for sale in the B/S/T section.

Default Qualifiers

I simply do not understand why others care what is done with cards after they are sold. Clearly, they are not giving the cards away for free and have reached what they consider to be a fair deal. What is the accepted timeframe for holding a card before the person you bought if from being "ok" with you letting it go? This mentality seems ridiculous to me. With all of the knowledge and positivity that I get out of this site, there is some judgement and negativity here that sours things.

Everyone has their reasons for what they collect, move, trade etc....If you are going to assume you know my motivations and pass judgement after selling a card, please list that as a qualifier on BST. I don't want to buy from you. I love this site want to believe that most enjoy the hobby and are not out to make a quick dollar off of someone else here.

Isn't it hypocritical to actively sell on this site and then judge someone else for what they do with the card that you just sold. It doesn't really matter if it is 5 days or 5 years since you sold them the card. Once it changes hands, then be happy with your sale and wish the other person well.

My 2 cents....

Seller: Let me figure out what I have into it
Buyer: I don't care what the hell you have into it

To be fair, the seller doesn't care that you don't care. It's important to him.

I don't disagree to an extent, where I see the difference is in acquiring cards for your PC from another selling from his PC in a private sale or trade. These types of transactions come with trust, respect, and integrity that is established over a period of time and if you turn around and sell it the next week after stating it's for your PC will not sit well and you'll probably burn the relationship because you lied. Is there a time period to wait before you move the card in that context? Yes, for me it's 12-18 months. I'm always transparent in my dealings like this, if I'm working a 3 way trade I'll let everybody know who is involved and what the goal is. If acquiring for a friend, I'll state that. There's a strata of collectors, many of them here that do business this way and its very rewarding and fun dealing with them.

If the exchange was purely transactional in nature, sure. If the other party lied about getting the card for their PC and then quickly sold it for a profit, that would bother me.

The lie would bother me.

This community is better than that.

Agree. It's not the flipping after the transaction, it's the lie during the negotiation.
