Buy/Sell/Trade check? How's it going over there?

[tbob]

No problems other than I am always missing cards I am interested in selling very quickly, before I see them

With multiple transactions as both a buyer and seller, nary a complaint.

I have had a three years worth of smooth deals on the BST as both a buyer, trader and a seller. The deals have ranged between $10 and $4000 and all good. It hasn't mattered if it was a beater hoarder, family member of a player, rarity collector, board runner, or folks that are just out to ruin humanity and everyone in betwixt.

One thing I would mention to sellers and buyers of lots that include cards of some value, would be to set a price for each of the cards in the deal that add up to your total. This way, if a return is needed you have agreed up front on the value of the cards. As Blair mentioned above, we had a one card return in one of our package deals, but we had a (ballpark) set price for each of the cards in the lot, so the was no question about how much we should return for the one card in the lot. I could see how that could be an issue with a package deal and there is a card in question of considerable value.

There have been a couple "your price is off" comments, but that is the way it goes when buying or selling things you don't see very often, so no skin off my back on those either, just a matter of demand and supply and who needs something when!

I have made a couple bucks, broke even, helped folks out, and been crushed, but all in the good fun of cardboard!

Laying low for now,
Bob

Sorry to drag this thread back to the top but it seemed an appropriate place for this discussion. As a frequent B/S/T user, it is always a bit frustrating to start a new thread and see it quickly bumped to the bottom of the page in a matter of a few hours.

I think most would agree that it would be courteous to all B/S/T users that if you have...say, 9 different small lots of similarly valued T206's...these could be combined into one or two threads rather than taking up half of the first page with a separate thread for each and then repeatedly bumping EACH thread to update every time a card is sold. Posts can easily be edited to update such information without bumping the thread to the top, thus allowing a fair amount of exposure to others' threads.

To quote the FAQ:

"Items should be consolidated in the BST area, into one thread, when appropriate. In other words don’t list more than a few similar items in single threads, in the same BST area, at once. IF you do this, they will most likely be deleted and asked to be posted again in a consolidated fashion. You should not bump a BST thread to the top very often (every 3-4 days at most) as it is discourteous to other posters."

+1 I think we can call a spade a spade. Klrbee posted 7 or 8 threads all selling T206s and then bumped each time one of the cards was sold. I posted as well somewhere during in that deluge. I felt the need to bump my thread at some point the next day when some cards were sold just to get it somewhere off of the second page. At any rate, I would rather not have bumped my thread at all and probably shouldn't have. But, the above practice encourages other bad behaviors. Especially from me

It's good to be reminded of the rules now and again.

Selling can be intoxicating. Just PM the guy and politely ask tht he knock it off.
