B/S/T suggestion

[Robextend]

I agree, and I do the same...it is common courtesy.

[chaddurbin]

so when browsing the bst you guys would rather see available cards at the top and not all the sold ones?

Sorry about this thread, Quan. The HGH kicked in, and I don't know what happened.

Thank you for your efforts to keep the B/S/T orderly, Rob.

Don't paint Rob as altruistic. He was just trying to sell a card. And he did. So now, it's all good.

Actually, there's one left. Coming your way, C.O.D.

More suggestions for the BST

First off, when you list 4-5 items in the same category, at the same time, and make each a separate post, you push everybody else down the page. I've seen guys list 15-20 cards from the same set, but list them in different posts.

Secondly, the terms of the sale should be listed in the post. If a seller doesn't list a shipping charge, I assume the price quoted is delivered. When you send a confirming email and then first mention a shipping charge, you'll surprise some people.

Thirdly, it works best if you tell people how you prefer a response. This board allows people to contact you three ways (email, PM, and on the thread itself.) If you don't express a preference, you have to figure out how to sort them in the order they came in.

Fourth (Fourthly???), as Rob mentioned elsewhere today, when an item sell, don't bump the thread to say so. Just edit the post. If you need to edit the title, click on "Go Advanced."

Lastly, if you opt to be one of the guys who just uses the BST, people here don't get to know you. In that case, it's best not to send the buyer emails calling them names. If one of the regular board members called me a name it might provoke some thought on my part. When someone I don't know does it, it's just bad customer service.

Thanks for your time.

Can I also suggest that when a seller has all of his items in a thread SOLD that he doesn't change the title from

PSA 4 T-206 COBB

into

PSA 4 T-206 COBB SOLLLDDDD!!!!!

but rather just SOLD and erase the details of what used to be there....

If I went to the B/S/T board and saw subjects with just "SOLD" I wouldn't waste time clicking on the threads...which I do all of the time now when people only say that the item is sold INSIDE the post.

I don't get this....some sellers are e-mailing buyers and calling them names even though they just helped them by buying their card? I don't understand....can you give an anonymous example?
