I have recently sold many Goudey HOFers on the B/S/T thread with a lot of success. (Thanks, Bobby for your transaction and your kudos). I posted my email address on the ad and stated that emails take precedence over thread posts, so however they can into my email was the order served. The system has worked well for me and I have no complaints.
To address the removal of sale prices... I am one such person who did that. I changed the sale price to "SOLD" to let people know it was gone and also then removed the scan of the card as well. This was done to remove confusion - showing that the card was no longer available, but was there at one point. The reason I remove the price is twofold. First, it eliminates potential confusion as to what card is what price, but the (much) bigger reason was to give the buyer privacy. If I hit the equivalent of a BIN for what I believe was a steal of a price, I would love for the price not to remain... especially since it will not be recorded on something like VCP. The new owner (who likely picked up the card for less than VCP) can feel good about having that card with a sales record of higher than what he paid... thereby potentially eliminating what has been called the spiralling effect of wanting to purchase below the last purchase price. Anyway, not to go off on that tangent, but suffice it to say that the price is removed so that the buyer can have privacy of their sale price.
Thanks for the B/S/T page! No complaints here.
