Hi Jim,

I have always understood this to be true - some sales are not captured.

My response was to a poster who had incorrect information that VCP does not record BIN sales or one-bid auctions. When I recently checked pricing on a Ted Williams card over half the recorded sales results were indicated as "BIN". So many of these sales are captured.

(Personally I completely disregard BIN sales results unless they are in line with auction results. To me, they are no reflection of market value at all. If they are significantly higher than auction results my view is that the purchase is either out of impulse or desparation, or that the buyer has no idea about the market for these items. The only exception is if the item is quite rare and has not been offered for sale in some time...but that is fairly easy to figure out using VCP too.)

Cheers,
Blair

Whilst we are a conservative Republican, we would not waste our precious time dancing with a born again who can not name the country's most distinguished universities.

As for Mr. Sloate's Attila The Hun comment- we admire his success. He had only two types of competitors- those whom he took over and ruled and those whom he destroyed. His success was rather remarkable. Thanks for the compliment, Mr. Sloate.

As for Leon Lucky's comment- we provide many interesting posts, and actively buy and sell on BST. We share information selectively, and when it is to our advantage to do so. All of you Wharton Grads will recall that the first thing we were taught is" Free advice is worth what they pay for it."

We love the hobby, but we choose to contribute selectively We are constantly refining our battle strategy. Remember every board member is first a competitor and the a colleague

It's compliment. If you're going to profess to be some kind of Ivy League intellectual (which, by the way, few people are buying), then hire a proofreader to help you pull it off. I know middle-school kids who have a better grasp of spelling and punctuation than you exhibit.

Rob: You mean he's not really an Ivy League intellectual?? I did not know that.

I'm not sure how many are in his "we" group, but you would think that one of the Bruces' would know how to spell.

You might want to ask for a refund on whatever you paid in tuition.

I'm not sure Sarah Palin could name those universtities either. Then again, she would view that as a positive.

You are the kind of person that has to put down others to make themselves feel better. The kind of person that has to toss in people's face what you have and what you do and what you say the other does not have.
In short you are a great big piece of self-aggrandizing shit.
It doesnt matter where I received my degrees from. It does not matter what I do or how much money I make. At the end of the day I can lay my head down to sleep feeling good that I feel I have made a positive impact on society.
It does not matter where you went to school. It does not matter how much money you make. What matters is if you leave the world a better place than you found it. I can and I do it everyday, and I can do that without having to talk down to others. Can you say that? I doubt it.
It seems you sell cards. I would not buy air in a jug from you if you were giving it away. Your attitude is an affront to decency. If I had to bet I would say you are, deep down, an insecure and rootless individual, and I have no use for you.
