And Jupiter iS No Longer a Planet!

Sorry, Jupiter is still a planet. Don't confuse it with Pluto which was reclassified as a dwarf planet.

I don't sell often, but when I do, I leave any price information intact. Keep in mind, what I asked for is not necessarily what I might have gotten, but should somebody ask me, I don't have any qualms telling them.

I use ***SOLD*** as a title edit to keep folks from wasting their time checking the thread.


Bids posted should be left intact in the bidder's post. I can only hope those bidders will leave their own bids in place.


One thing I will do going forward is be sure to add a post stating the winning bid.


I do not accept 'out of thread' bids either during or after the stated end of auction.


Anyone who has trouble with the way I handle my auctions is more than welcome to tell me, but I seriously doubt there is any need for me to change it.

I also normally enter ***SOLD*** next to my asking price. However, a couple buyers have PM'd me after the transaction and requested that I remove the price stating they don't want everyone knowing their business. So, in those few instances, I did remove it per their request.

This is a very polarizing issue obviously... It's like gun control. I do not think everyone will ever agree on this.

I'm sure there has to be a happy medium.

How about leaving the original asking price?

No matter how many times you reduce it, just leave that first asking price.

This way people can see where you started.

I understand the point of if you get slaughtered on a deal and people will make you feel like crap (it's happened to me), but that is part of the game. We all get burned at some point.

Maybe everyone throws in 25 cents at the beginning on the year, and the person who gets killed the worst gets the money.

That would offset some thought of people getting scared about getting screwed in the BST

That's how I would approach it, too, Jason. I have no problem divulging price information, but if a buyer asks me to keep that information a private matter for any reason, I absolutely respect their wishes.

I believe the current polite term is "little planet" wouldn't want to offend.
