I was thinking the same thing. Couldn't hurt to see if there's some interest here. And I haven't heard of anyone getting scammed on this site as a buyer or seller.

Jesse you are a good man but you have this habit of generalizing from your own limited experience. Not always accurate.

In fairness I said I hadn't heard of it. Now I have but it does seem rare here. I'm sure scammers will always find there way on to any site but this one seems as good as any I'm aware of.

Why is it relevant that you personally haven't heard of it? That's about as meaningful as saying I had a few successful dealings with PWCC therefore they are honest. I don't disagree that the BST is a good venue though. Don't mind me in any event.

In short if buyers are spending the exact same gross figure whether on e-bay or at auction e-bay will be cheaper 100% of the time. This is to refute the point made earlier by Jesse. I have no opinion on anything else in the thread.

[pokerplyr80]

Maybe I could have phrased it better but the point I was trying to make was that since he's already on the site, it wouldn't hurt to list his items for sale. And that the chances of getting scammed, which he was worried about from his initial post on another site are pretty low. So low in fact, that until today I hadn't heard of it ever happening here.

[Peter_Spaeth]

It does happen but I agree not very often. I do agree with you that it's an excellent venue for certain cards. Not sure about high value post-war ones though. And I did not mean to single you out, a constant theme one sees here is that people suspected of fraud are defended, and evidence of their potential fraud is ignored, simply on the basis that the individual poster had no trouble with them. One saw post after post defending Mastro and Allen on that basis. Unwarranted extrapolation, or something like that.
