Is there really a need to announce that you're sending the PM (I'm not talking about the cases where the poster has sent multiple PMs that weren't responded to)??? Why is "Nice card" interference but "PM sent" (when the purpose of the PM isn't to purchase the card) is not interference? I expect Ben not got get that, but surely you do????

Fair enough. Anyone who feels either is interference should look up the definition of interference. Nice card, good luck with sale, etc. might not contribute much, but are pretty common on this site. The only thing quoting the original post interferes with is the ability to later delete the asking price.

If a well respected member of this forum makes a positive comment on an item I have for sale I am thrilled. It is somewhat akin to a respected endorsement. I will take those any time I can get them.

Also I have had enough instances, both as a buyer and a seller, where "PM sent" being posted didn't mean squat.

Finally, sometimes people will post a "PM sent" to get a time stamp in showing when the PM with "I'll take it" was made in case there are multiple people who might say the same thing. The "PM sent" post might make the difference in such a case.

We're getting off track here, but wouldn't an "I'll take it" post accomplish the same thing with the time stamp as a "PM sent" post? Maybe it's just me? Maybe I think different than most?

saying pm sent...tells everyone that a pm was sent...usually to ask question or dicker over price. I'll take it...means i'll take it.

Did you even read what I was quoting/responding to?

My God, reading comprehension is a lost art on the boards.

Dont forget to add it's coming from a third party, not interested in buying the card.

PM sent seems like emailing someone to tell them you left them a voice mail.

ive always found the message stating a message was sent to be quite odd.

It can serve a purpose if someone's notifications aren't working properly, or if they haven't responded to your pm.

Often enough that it doesn't hurt to post pm sent just in case. The seller could also have gotten more than 1 message and missed yours. Or their inbox could be full.

Yes and it too is pretty unnecessary. Posting a PM sent post will likely be seen after an email of that actual PM is received in this day where 99% of us are wired into our email 24/7.

There is an aspect to it of a dog marking its spot.

Yes that too but it is just excessive and typical of people but I will stop whining since it is taking this thread off topic.

The inane comments do not bother me as much as deleting the asking price. What if all of the auction houses, including ebay, only made the final price realized available to just the winner? Why are Net 54 transactions being given special treatment? It is really so silly.

Especially since sellers can just say 'taking offers' they dont have to put an asking price....plus most asking prices are fantasy prices anyway so whats the big deal. Nobody is going to give you $4000 for that 1933 psa 1 goudey ruth for a long time if ever.

We can always rely on the seller to say what he paid for the card previously, wink wink....

I always thought that that certain things in life are temporary but the internet is forever.....guess not..

Actually this is exactly why I use the "PM sent" option and will continue to do so. If a member is not logged onto Net54 they will receive instant email notification that a member is interested in something that they have for sale.

If they do not have email notification then when they do decide to log onto Net54 it will automatically respond with a pop-up window informing them that they have a PM waiting to be read.

We have some members here who do not log onto Net54 everyday and their B/S/T threads go unnoticed until they log on days or weeks later.

So a "PM sent" message is my way of covering the bases. If a member has something for sale/trade, they could possibly get an email notification or a pop-up window when they log on. If those two functions fail, then they will see my "PM sent" message and know that I'm interested in something they have for sale/trade.

At last, I finally made it. I'm officially part of the 1%.
Now where are my tax breaks?

Me too Todd. I can sometimes be found texting on my phone but I do not use it for much else other than a...phone. What a concept, eh? I get my emails when I am at my computer and only when I check for emails.

I have it on possibly good authority - the kids at the makerspace- that email is soooo dreadfully old fashioned. (My words, theirs were harder to understand)

It's totally marking territory. Today I found a card I wanted bad. I couldn't type "I'll take it" quickly enough. I then wrote him a pm. I considered smoke signals and a carrier pigeon. I think it's just a nervous reaction fearing you may lose it to someone who pm'd first while you were posting, or posts first while you are pm'ing.

So for those of us in your arbitrary 1% that would like prices removed after a completed transaction, we should now PM you to verify you won't quote the price? Shouldn't your info be added to the BST rules so everyone knows who to contact if they'd like privacy after a sale?

"So in the future if a member (buyer or seller) posts for me to remove a quoted asking price, that is fine as i will now know the member wanted it removed . Also the people that i know that never want it quoted ill heed that as well which appears to be 2 or 3 people thus far. Anyone else can pm me etc if they want to keep their posted asking price a secret. Again i think this impacts about 1% of the b/s/t listings." Post #70

Can do what you want but it appears nobody really cares except you. I dont even recall you listing any cards? You can also navigate the rest of the threads to see what else should be added as well to the rules. I did put out that i would gladly remove anything if requested so anyone can pm me and ill remove any. Thus far zero pms. (Not even a pm sent ) I think eventually i will get a couple of people out of the hundreds that post etc.

Also how is it arbitrary 1%, its less than 1%. So i guess you mean arbitrary meaning 0-1%

How do you know the third party isnt interested in buying the card. If they are interested then you are fine with that? If not why does being interested matter in your point of view. If 3 people are interested in a card and one person buys it..are the other 2 people 'third partys'? Only 1 person buys the card..but there could be 10 people interested.....
