B/S/T Question - OT

[jingram058]

Just a question, OT, wondering why on B/S/T listings, once a deal has been made, the price goes away? It would be great to refer back from time to time through the listings and see what went for what.

It is a personal choice by the seller to remove the price. Not everyone does it.

+1 agreed alot of times the seller does not want the price to be known or the buyer requests so others do not know what they paid.
It really is a matter of personal preference

But let me say to all members, please don't delete the other stuff besides the price in the BST listings. I would appreciate it. And if you do you will probably get a pm from me ....The place would look barren if everyone did that. Thanks...

I think this one was on the BST., Pete S would know....

I always appreciate when the price is left in the listing and it just says "Sold" somewhere. A lot of times I'm just browsing the BST and see a card I'm interested in listed. When I open the listing and see it has sold already I get bummed out, but the very next thing I do is look for the asking price so I know what the card went for and I what I can expect to pay for it when I find another one. Just my opinion and observation.

Nice card by the way Leon.

25. The War of the Discloses
The eternal, ongoing debate of whether or not the price of a card sold in the B/S/T section should be kept in the thread for posterity’s sake, or removed by the seller.

Don't know why anyone needs the cloak of secrecy over a sale. . . . if you consigned to an AH the sale price would be right there for all to see.

That was my Young for sure. I love those huge borders.

I understand not posting the negotiated final sale price, especially if the final sale price is lower than the original list price, because that is the seller’s and buyer’s ultimate business.

However, why delete the original price that the seller posted for the entire form to see when listing the card? The original listing price should always remain. People have already seen it. It was not a secret. It’s just a secret to those that did not see the listing until after the card sold. Just list sold, but keep the original price.

Maybe the first reply to every sales thread should quote the original post with the prices.

Just sayin'

That's been my view as well. I do not sell often on the b/s/t, but I keep the original asking price up after sale unless the buyer asks me to remove it. As a buyer, I have never asked that the sale price be deleted, although it often is by the seller. I assume he has his reasons, but I would prefer it remain. I have not insisted that it stay, and wonder if that would bother or make a difference to the seller.

Noted. I've only sold a handful of things on here and have a few I'll be posting sometime in the next week and always removed the price afterwards as I just assumed that was how it was done on here. I'll refrain from doing so in the future. I typically remove the pics of cards that have sold as well if there are multiple cards in the post just to kind of declutter the post but will leave them up from here one out.

Appreciate the info.

One more thing concerning the BST areas. No one should be commenting there unless it is a positive about a card. Anything at all concerning what someone paid is off limits. That is not the place for it. Any questions LMK...thanks all


and a card...

Seeing a great old card you used to own is kind of like seeing a gorgeous ex-girlfriend with another guy. At least she's in good hands

Bought the card from REA in 2017 and owned it until Pete S. and I worked out a trade for an inexcusably more modern card.
It was the right move for my collection, but haven't been able to get an e90-1 Young back into the fold yet either!
Glad it sold right here on the BST.

Enjoy Leon!

There has been some great stuff in the auction section lately.

Ending date in the title would help people know when it ends. Also when over change the title to reflect it is over by changing date to SOLD or ENDED.

To change the title click on edit in the lower right corner. Then click on go advanced in the lower right corner and then it will let you edit the title.

For the Jedi mind trick humor. The 1953 Topps License Plate Cards are not the cards you are looking for.

I will haggle a bit and I will give the few friends that I have on this forum a deal that I would not give a stranger. Therefore all sales prices posting honestly could be misleading.

"You sold the same dollar value card to Hiram McNulty for $50 and now you want to charge me, Sylvester Monboquet, $100".

See what I mean, $OLD solves that problem.

There wouldn't be much in the auction section without Fred and Octavio's stuff.
