I peruse BST but imo a lot of items are either a) overpriced b) not desirable or c) both an and b.

I agree with this. Certain sellers are almost ridiculously high, just waiting for a sucker to come along. How many times do you see bump after bump lowering the price? Or the famous last chance before it goes to eBay or auction? Or my all-time favorite, the ones with expectations so stupidly high, no price is even listed, because the seller is awaiting a sucker.

I don't want to make an offer. If you really want to sell something, put a price on it.

And please read my above ignored post.

N54 BST is my favorite place to buy/sell.
Many dozens of successful transactions here.
Let’s end the year with a flurry folks.
Post your items for sale.

Bought several complete sets this year.

1963 Topps High Grade $10,500
1960 Topps Mid Grade $3000
1954 Topps Low Grade $2500

Always looking for vintage complete sets.

I’m broke. Kids are little. $600 in before school care, $510 to after school, $1200 in child support for the almost 21 year old. Put a patio in over the summer. I miss the BST. My activity has been the $25-50 purchases.

I wonder how the last half of 2025 looks with $1200 back in my pocket. Do I finally obtain the Green Cobb T206? Do I make moves on some of the other big cards in the T206 set? Who knows?

I've made a few deals on BST, as well as privately with a few members of the community. Probably similar to amounts in recent years.

I think "stuff" is getting harder to find actually. Pricing seems to be much higher than in recent years, and the better "stuff" with eye appeal seems to be not offered nearly as much.
