WTB on BST

[pokerplyr80]

Not a huge deal either way, but given the current market it seems everyone is buying key cards, hopefully before the prices get even more out of hand. A separate section for WTB would be my personal preference, just for convenience.

One thing that would be helpful is to know where certain cards should go. E.g. if I am selling a 1980s FB card, I could put it in the Football Cards section (per the rules), 1980s and up Sports Cards, and/or Everything Else.

Well, I wouldn't put it in "everything else" as that isn't very specific. The other 2 are good choices. IF members come up with better terminology I am open to changing, just as has been done numerous times in the past. But I only like to change if it is a big help and not a small one. I haven't heard too many groans about this issue. There are several overlapping sections but by the looks of it most members figure out what is best for their sale.

I think it depends on how much exposure you want for the card. If you put it in all three you get triple exposure :>}

I joined Net54 because it was suggested to me that it was the best place to help build my 53 Bowman set. Virtually all my purchases have been eBay, but as it has been mentioned, the same cards offered for sale recycle, the cards tend to be "optimistically" graded, auction prices realized can arguably fetch more than what the card is worth, and the taxes certainly add a considerable expense in purchasing cards over time.

I only need a few upgrades for my set and I figured it would be beneficial to post a WTB listing for some of the cards I need. I also hope that if a collector/dealer who advertises on eBay sees something I need a deal could be made through here which could benefit us both in terms of expenses. Perhaps the increase in the WTB listings may be bothersome to some, but collectors do look for other avenues to fill their want lists.

I have picked up some great cards from the bst too Leon over the years. These are 2 of my favorites.

Agree. Tough wading through the WTB's looking to see what's available

I prefer when listings are consolidated to one post. 4-5 in a row seems a bit much. If it's in the appropriate section then you dont really need to list individually. If just one card then sure.

+1
If anyone PM's me about excessive multiple, same series, threads then I will consider consolidating them. Members should try their best to use as few threads as possible. Common courtesy but I really don't want to have more rules. Other forums do things their way, we do ours our way. Caveat Emptor as we are getting over 120 new members every month since the pandemic (and about 2/3 of that pre-pandemic). So lots of new members all of the time. Please always PM me (or Brian or Chris) with any troll-like activity.

and another FS picked up from the BST a few years back
