Also baffling are the people who try to sell something with a posted price adjusted for the bull market run of cards... that they must expect to happen in 2044.

No question there are "fisherpeople" out there. All it seems to take is an outlier sale price to cause many to jack up their prices.

I agree with the thought that once something is off the front page (or second page of the more active BST sections) the buyer should inquire if the card is still available. If it is, there should be a negotiation if market price is noticeably higher than it was when first offered. This assumes everyone over there has integrity. And I've learned to never assume anything.
I feel the community looking out for itself is fair and reasonable.

Amen amen amen! There’s a modern card I want to buy, not very popular. I’d gladly be willing to pay $50 which is a pretty reasonable value as of today. It’s listed at $1500.

I'm curious because of the wide price difference what card you are referring to

2 or 3 years ago I paid $800 for a raw T213-2 Red Cobb. I sent it in to have it graded and it came back an SGC10 as expected. PWCC has an SGC10 listed on eBay, from their vault, at $7995.
Crazy!

Just to add my 2 non cents.......When an item is listed on ebay, the seller should be able to raise the price anytime they want unless the item has a bid. Auctions usually run 7 days so every 7 days the seller can do what they want to the pricing. If they have a BIN and someone selects it, then that price should be honored.
As far as the BST here, I would think a 2 or 3 week period. Anything beyond that the interested party should ask if the card is still available and start a price negotiation. |

It seems like a lot of new sellers (more so for modern) seem to think that low pop report should equal big money, when that’s just not the case a lot of times. Frustrating.

Since it has been almost a week since I started this thread I figured I would provide a quick update and reason for my question. The BST question came about as I've had several people in the past ask here and on other sites ask if a card was still available. No one was asking to purchase at the old listed price. They were just seeing if I still had the card. Still, it made me curious how others would feel in that situation if they still had the card.
On Ebay I had a buyer who was making offers on a card below my asking price. Earlier this year I had raised the price and their offers have continued to slowly increased but still a bit below my asking price. With each offer I have consistently stated the price listed is the price I want for it even when the offers got above my original asking price. I never had the option to make a BO on the card. After making this post I raised the price again by about 20%. Within a few hours, they responded that they would buy the card at my previous price. I declined and advised my new price was due to recent comps. Figured there were enough watchers, it was the cheapest on Ebay at the grade, and was still less than other similar graded examples have sold for. I've already had the card for awhile so worse case scenario is I hold it a little longer. Less than 48 hours later, a different buyer bought the card at the new asking price. So I guess sometimes raising the price might invoke someone to step up and buy the card before it goes up any more.
