Agree! Very frustrating when people don't honor their commitments.

Each deal backed out of should really warrant a PM to me. If it happens too often (more than once or twice) with one person then they won't be allowed on the BST.

How about when a seller agrees to a deal, then reneges due to a better offer elsewhere? Does that warrant the same consideration?

i think the answer is yes... it is not fair.

Yup, it sure does.

And +1 to Nelson's comment as well.

As an addicted collector I have a little empathy for a collector not selling after they say they will. I did it once several months ago. I had the card for 10+ yrs, agreed to sell it, then 2 hours later changed my mind as I wanted to keep it. I still have it. That is a rare exception for me. Out of thousands of deals I have done that maybe 1-2 times. So, I do have that bit of empathy. If someone backs out of "a" deal and there was no harm done, then so be it. But if it is repetitious then that is an issue. That is why I need to know about these issues. If someone is doing it very often then that isn't good for the BST. Also, though, that being said, there are sometimes mitigating circumstances so those need to be taken into account too. Where there is 0 tolerance is if anyone is out any money in a deal that goes sour. Those are just some thoughts. Overall, we get very, very few issues over there on the BST. It is ALWAYS caveat emptor though.

And to answer the question, all reneggs count.

The worst is when someone wins a BST auction and doesn't reply to any PM's. You know who you are...

If you commit to a deal I personally consider it a done deal and will mark something as sold. The same goes if I commit to something, I expect that person to mark it as sold and simply arrange payment. I have no sympathy for people who reneg either way.

I've never had any problems yet. Knock on wood.
