Default Asking Prices on the BST

Just thought I would let others know my view on asking prices in the BST section. As I told someone today, I am an extreme capitalist. I don't think if I buy something from the BST for $100 today and ask $300 tomorrow, it is wrong. What I don't think we want to see is anyone commenting, in those threads, concerning what someone paid for something. We talked about asking for better prices for someone's collection. If someone asks for a personal collection favor, you do it, and the next day they are selling it for a large markup, then don't do business with them or you can sue them.
(I am not sure what for but you can try. It's America )

100% agree, if you didn't have the stones to pay at auction then don't weigh in after the fact. Petes margins are what they are, pay or don't.

+1 100% agree

Selling for what you want is your choice

What the buyers do after is their choice

I agree with some mild amount of reason.

I agree. Don't stick your nose in someone else's business. If you don't want to do a particular deal that's cool, but move on and no need to comment or criticize. Just keep walking.

Likewise, I would never crap on an AH that I have engaged to sell something for me. If I don't like the price I got or how I'm treated that's between me and who I decided to do business with. If I'm happy I will tell them. If there was a problem I will tell them. And maybe never use them again. Be a grown up. No need for public bellyaching and whining.

While we’re on the subject of BST, Is there any chance to make it easier to post? I’d like to sell off some items but it is very difficult, at least for me, to get images to post.

Thanks,

Brian

The images need to be 1.2mb or smaller and your problem will disappear.

I've posted jpg files slightly larger than 2 MB.

You're correct, though, about making sure the file size isn't too big.
