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

If it were not wanted and warranted it would not be seen in almost every venue in this industry.

And to your increasingly ridiculous points, let's take the lunch receipts example. How would it work out for you if the places you walked into for lunch pulled down their prices after each person bought an item and you had to ask an employee how much is the BLT? So yes I actually would love to see a database of those lunch receipts in that scenario.

I have no interest in trading insults with you still.

If the pricing data is readily available in the databases with infinitely larger sample sizes than this unorganized BST forum, what is the point in using this unorganized BST for pricing instead? That just doesn’t make any sense to me. It would seem to be a logical prerequisite that the data isn’t available in better organized formats for it to be any useful here. I am not against pricing data, I don’t think anyone is required to give me or an organization their data and I don’t really care. I don’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 that’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.


I don’t understand how furniture and lunch are ridiculous but transactions in “a commerce related industry”, should or need to be disclosed publicly. Is that not commercial industry? If you are limiting to cards, stocks and real estate why are we using “in a commerce related industry”? 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.
