Net 54 Banner

[Seattle799]

Can we put a banner at the top of this forum that says "If you agree to a purchase, you are obligated to follow through on said purchase, no matter what."

I feel like this would eliminate most of the drama on this forum.

I think that's a great idea. I have people backing out constantly on FleaBay, I'm sure it's a problem here too.

NO we aren't putting a banner up for common sense. I want to know about any deal on this board that gets backed out of. If no money changed hands and no card shipped, and it only happens once with a member, then it's probably not an issue. If it happens with any board member more than once, and I find out about it, then they might not be on our BST anymore. As for saying that you are sure it is a problem here, you are dead wrong. As far as I know it isn't. (and I would probably know as I get a ton of PMs)
And to the original poster, if you know how to post a thread then you know how to PM me. If someone backs out of a deal, please let me know..and that goes for everyone. thanks

An old school, highly respected member pm'd that he thinks Leon or ScottB has a T213-1 LaPorte. I replied that there is no way Leon would do that, but ScottB might. I said I send stuff to those guys for their auctions, I don't think they are holding out on me... If you are...I have stuff to trade....

I was unaware that I might have a card that was a subject of investigation. Upon checking I do not have a T213-1 LaPorte, only have a Beals Becker left. We have sold several type 1's in the past auctions, it's possible it was sold there.

Upon checking the auction history, about 12 type 1 coupons, no LaPorte.

Literally hundreds of BST transactions over the years (98% as a buyer), not one single issue.

For the record I don't have one either, for sale or in my collection.

Scott,

I appreciate it. Y'all run a great auction. I was trying to be a comedian. I think I may start collecting Piedmont 350 Factory 25 cards so that I can actually find the cards.

[cobblove]

What about when someone at a show says they want the card and will be back to buy it and they never come back?
That seems to be a problem at shows.
Also I think leon has this undercontrol on his site. It's a well run site for sure!! Great place here.

Buying and selling here for five years. Never had a single issue. Actually heard of very very very few.

[Mick_7]

Not implying that it does take place with any regularity, but no open sales forum is completely free of this practice taking place. I collect coins as well and it's happened a few times on those forums in which I've had collector coins up for sale.

With only 25 posts I would watch what I say regarding your sure it happens here, Leon runs a great site hear along with the moderators help, this site is highly respected in the hobby and making a statement like that, I think you owe him an apology.

Mike,

I think his choice of words was not correct as it isn't a "problem" on the BST, but I know for a fact that it has happened and Leon took corrective action immediately. The member was suspended from participating in the BST, was was still able to contribute to the forum. I believe his suspension has been lifted now.

Leon does run one of the best forums around which is why it is so popular and why I'm a member. You can take all the precautions in the world to minimize, but nothing is 100% fool proof.

In over 30-40 transactions on the bst I've had one guy reneg on a deal...and he had a history of that so poor judgment on my part.

How odd that such a banner would even be required!

Bought and sold MANY items through the B/S/T and never 1 problem. Most trustworthy bunch of guys here I have ever dealt with. I always list my stuff here before ebay because it's such a great site. Thanks to Leon and all the others for providing a great forum for real collectors.

+1. Never a problem in all the years that I can remember, either selling or buying.
