Deleting prices after an item has sold

[1952boyntoncollector]

really not a secret....people know how much you paid for your house...but you worry about what a card costs for 400 dollar.....theres is VCP and ebay out there.

people like to quote past prices...I just don't see how knowing what the asking price is such an invasion of privacy...it helps everyone.....

if people care about sales history when negotiating a card it would make sense......though some sellers like to quote sale history but it doesn't matter..

they can quote one auction from 2 months ago for 1000..but if I show them 4 more for 700 in the past month and they wont care...they still want 1000...so maybe all of it doesn't matter

How anyone sells their cards is only their business.

Not a prewar or baseball item but another point to make is this: 1985 Topps FB racks got super hot last month for some reason. I had a box posted for sale that sat forever with no interest. When I sold the box, it was offline for double the price. I didn't mark the $xxx.xx to $old and got flooded with messages from an old post for something I no longer had.

True in many respects, but in using the b/s/t forum of this website I believe you consent to its terms of use. At this point those have not been defined as relates to this issue and perhaps they never will be, but to the extent the members wish to have their opinions known, here you have it.

I remove the sale price because when I started here on net54 I noticed that most of the the people did that. Why stop now...

I never understood this either. I always just note that an item is sold and that's it. It's hard to price some of this stuff, and if I just sold something for a concrete amount, why not give that info to people?

right thats what the men said in the U.S. before women's suffrage...why give woman the right to vote? Why stop now? Never change...yeah that gets us far in life...... why stop letting umpires have the final say on plays and use instant replay? Yeah change NEVER happens...

I remove the price because I want people to know it's not available. If I just write sold and leave the price, someone will ignore wherever I put sold. It happened to me a bunch of times, so I started taking the price out. Hasn't happened since.

Yeah. That makes sense. Comparing how some one choses to sell their items to being anti-women. Why stop there? Why not compare us to Germany? Or are we more like the people that just stood around and did nothing during the civil rights movement? No, wait... We are Tzarist and we are oppressing the people with our tactics.

I have sold cards here on the bst in the past at apparently prices that were too low. I did my research...thought about what I paid and what they were worth and set my prices.

Dealing with many members scolding me for selling too low caused me to start deleting my sold item prices. It's nobody's business what I choose to sell my cards for...so there!!!!

Exactly!

There are also times when a seller has more cards than can fit in a post (18 scan limit). When I have a post going (like I do now) where I am using the same framework over and again to sell a larger amount of cards, I will mark it sold but eventually, when I add new scans, will delete the first group entirely to keep things simple. I mean, does anybody but the seller & buyer care what a P350 common T206 sold for? or even THAT it sold?

i dont think i would ever look up price history on that type of card....for a $1000 card i would look at many places though..
