Vintagecardprices.com Relevancy?

I delete the price after the card is sold b/c I figure at that point it becomes mine and the buyers business and Id rather delete than ask for permision to leave the sale price up for viewing from the buyer. Its easier to leave it, but I always thought the protocol was to remove as it seems to be the case 90% of the time or so.

Here is a Blurb from the BST section of the rules posted on this board. No one reads them but they are still there -


Once any transaction is completed in the Buy/Sell/Trade areas, or over with, that transaction shouldn’t be deleted. Specific pricing, or confidential information may be removed but the other information should stay.



My motto over there has always been the fewer rules the better. Don't scam anyone, communicate a lot and act professionally. All will be good if that is done. Knock on wood but the BST is one of the smoothest parts of the site as far as moderating goes. As far as leaving pricing after a deal is done, I usually will remove it as a courtesy to the buyer.

Pricing could be left on because as a rule the asking price and actual price are rarely the same. Most of the transaction is done via PM or email so the true sales price is only known to the buyer and seller, hence even if the prices were left on for VCP to see, it would not be relavent.

Good point, Kmac...

Leon, I knew I was getting close to what you had stated before

One question Leon: Why would it be courteous to delete the price for the buyer's sake? Kmac made a good point that no one really knows the final price unless the seller made a point of letting it be known after the fact.

At the point it's sold I think the price is between the buyer and seller. I really don't care if people leave them or not but I don't. I don't really sell that much over there so it's not a big deal. Whatever folks are comfortable with, with respect to that issue, is fine.

Why not leave the asking price?

As for VCP, I find it to be a very valuable resource even with its limitations.
