Payment within a couple days if auction win?

Thoughts Scott

I send a PM after the auction ends to see how the buyer wants to pay. I expect payment in a day or two unless other arrangements are made. I have waited a week or two for payment with no problem as long as the buyer asks.

For me the biggest thing is communication.

No need to worry. I was golfing this weekend and just got home. Will pay you for the Ozzie Smith shortly.


Be well

Why? I think it is good to talk about auctions in the bst. I am thinking about auctioning a big card over there and paying the fee for a front page thread to tout it.
The best rules are no rules .....and communication is key.

To all members, I want to know of issues over on the BST, in any area. Every one ever sent to me has been dealt with as fairly as possible. Knock on wood there is probably less than 1 issue a month over there, which I am apprised of.
Please let me know. We don't want bad actors over there. (no snarky comments about members please. )

There is one guy over there who overgrades stuff quite bad, but I guess pictures trump puffery. And the Net54 auction thread is MILESSSSS better than Ebay. Sure, it doesn't get the eyeballs Ebay gets, but no fees is HUGE!!!

I know there are a few people who rub others the wrong way. They haven't done anything other than some puffery, and maybe asking unrealistic prices, as far as I am aware.
No fees is a good thing....and setting your own parameters is good too.
Remember to communicate quickly and clearly.

Agreed. Communication is huge. If people just say, "Hey, It might be a week or two" I am cool with that. If after 4 days, I don't hear anything, I start to worry.
