why do sellers change asking price to sold after a sale?

Because they can (for whatever reasons they choose).

I just read through 3 pages of this post and am amazed how much members get spun up about this topic. I echo my above statement on page 1. Members can do it because they can, bottom line.

I post sold in place of the price when I sell something here (which isn't too frequently but it does happen) for a few reasons. The most important one is to let people know the card was sold. If I left the price and then said sold, I'm sure I'd get a PM or two asking me about the price of the card and not bother to read that it was sold. Another reason is it really isn't anyone's business but the seller and me what the transaction entailed from a price perspective. I get people want info but I'm selling doubles so how I price something may or may not reflect the market and I'm sorry to say it isn't my responsibility to let everyone on the thread know how much I sold something for. I do know that chaps people but in that instance, it's just not their business to know what a private transaction entailed. We have VCP, 130point and other sites to help with values so look through those.

And lastly, I do it because I can....haha!

Don't mean to offend w/my why for those of you that don't agree w/me. Just saying how I feel about it.

I think the bigger question is what some people are asking for what they’re selling on the BST. I get it, you can ask whatever you want, it’s your card. But try to be within reason on pricing. Some sellers are running a museum….every other day with the bump bump bump. Same sellers too. End of rant!
