Pardon my ignorance, collecting brethren, but how do I access the BST area?

On the Main Forums Page
Scroll down half way and you will see all of the BST Categories
They are noted as "B/S/T" at the end of the links

The BST is far better than Ebay, and definitely the #1 way I add to my collection. As far as etiquette, I would say that most guys are pretty good. The one thing I could do without is bumping auctions before the last day. Nobody needs to see "Three days left!" If it's interesting, it will bump itself with a bid. By doing multiple day bumps, you're just pushing the actual last day bumps down the list. Just my two cents...

Cheers,
Geno

I do it when someone else bumps his auctions causing mine to get buried. Equate it to standing at a concert. When the first person in a row stands in order to see better, it causes everyone behind them to stand as well so they can see better too.

Maybe this has been covered already, but I see that Scott is using "board time" for his auctions. Board time is actually Central time, as Leon has pointed out. If you want to place a bid, but you aren't sure whether or not the auction is over, just scroll to the bottom of the page, and sure enough, there is the board time.

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 06:28 PM.

It is now 6:28 on the board, and it is also 6:28 here in good old Wisconsin.

Scott is always quick to let me know when I have won one of his items, and I normally try to pay within a few minutes. He is also quick to ship the items after he receives payment. A little communication goes a long way.

If you can't pay right away, at least let the seller know through PM or email.

There is no such thing as board time. You see it as Central because that is where you are. For me, in Boston, it is Eastern time etc.

Hi Bob, I am curious, so when you scroll to the bottom of the page, what do you see? Eastern? If so, it looks like the board does adjust to each individuals time.

That's gonna cost ya....now that you've found it.

Great Marketplace to buy cards. I wouldn't hesitate to buy there. It's one of the best things about the site and every transaction has been easy peasy.

Good luck!
