$OLD pet peeve

[pokerplyr80]

We had a thread on this same topic a year ago or so. I agree with you completely. I've noticed Jake quoting listings so sellers can't just delete asking prices after a sale. Seems like a reasonable way to make sure there is a record.

yeah I think I started that one too. lol

Hoping I can change some hearts and minds...

[pokerplyr80]

Either you or I did. It's one of my pet peeves as well, along with people listing cards without asking prices. That may have been the thread I started. Also a spirited discussion.

I wonder how many times cards are sold at asking price. I'm sure a lot of cards have sold below the original asking price through negotiations even though the seller put "SOLD" without deleting the original price.

yes I would argue that a requirement of using BST would be to input the final selling price post sale.

[philliesfan]

Yes. Agreed. I would like to see the sales price also.

I think forcing a seller to input a sale price is a little much and would be difficult to enforce. It may also lead to inaccurate information being reported. Leaving the asking price up doesn't seem like too much to ask though.

Agree with most of the comments here. Put SOLD in the thread title and leave the prices in the thread itself.

Hopefully this comment was made after having a drink or two.

haha you got me...


Its funny how a sale of a card is argued to be private, but a sale of a house which is the most expensive thing most people buy in their lives has a sale price for all of the world to see and is not private...but a $5000 card, keep it private! Every house is unique it can be argued as well with the special updating the homeowner did.

Anyway its up to the seller if they want to remove the price but if its been quoted in the thread we will at least know the asking price and can assume the card sold for that price or less....at least its a starting point
