** BST Warning - Brandon Brown **

Greg only auction house executives are great guys.

I think Brandon lives from deal to deal and sometimes bites off more than he can chew but to ban him i think is unjust. Just like on E-bay there are slow payers and shippers and they do not get booted off.

If he buys a card from me and then cannot pay for it i'm not going to freak out about it, i would just re offer the card and move on and not accept anymore of his offers.

I hope we never use eBay's policies as our measuring stick for how to run a successful operation.

Peter,

Are you certain? I thought a great guy can be anyone who sells (not limited to auction house execs) as well as people who have owned two Wagners? Maybe Jeff L can pipe in on this and clarify it.

Fair enough, owning two Wagners makes you a good guy, and lying about it makes you a great guy.

You can become a 'great' guy not just by lying on the board or committing massive fraud. You can also become a 'great' guy by describing other crooks as 'great' guys. Or even just because you love Mickey Cochrane uniforms so much (even if they're not really his uniforms). Or sometimes you can be a 'great' guy just for any combination of the factors I just described.

Hey Guys,
To those I have let down on deals - I sincerely appologise for lack of communication or completion on my end. No excuses...I screwed up, and as far as the BST "ban" I completely understand, and to an extent, agree with it. To the moderaters - Thanks for the previous opportunities on the BST. I know you have a tough job protecting the best interests of the members who depend on the BST as a primary outlet for their vintage collecting needs. No hard feelings on my end. To those of you who I have had (multiple) successful transactions with - thank you and I hope you continue to have luck in your collecting "careers". All in all, it has been a very interesting and rewarding experience as a member of the board. That said, there are very few points of interest outside the BST for me, so I will be a rare visitor to other portions of the site that I still have access to. Nothing personal towards anyone, just not that much that pertains to my collecting interests happens enough on the main board. As Ive noticed quite a bit, Alot of "political" bickering and not enough vintage card discussion for my taste. Well, thats the news, and I....am....outta here!

I feel for both sides but in the end Leon and his group have made the right decision. Brandon is probably a great guy but the BST board does need any complaints as we are a small community. Maybe after a few months the ban might be lifted but if I was posting on the BST I would hope for no problems. Thanks Leon and crew for all your work. CN
