Posted By: <b>Darren</b><p>They sell before you get back from the bathroom.<br />You realize that the sale price you used from VCP was from 2006.<br />You see that same card on Ebay not 2 days later.<br />It's an Honus Wagner.<br />It's a type Leon doesn't own.<br />

Posted By: <b>Jim Dale</b><p>I don't think it happens too often, but I recently got one nice card from there I still think was a bargain. Otherwise I think the prices I've paid rival high bids on ebay and in some cases I doubt they'd have gotten that on ebay. Its a good service - I have only bought there not sold - and hope those selling are happy using it.

Posted By: <b>Marty Kohler</b><p>Hey Darren, Not to be to blunt but get over it,.......It`s happened to all of us at sometime and if you`ve paid any attention to ebay or the BST you can get your own little bargain that will put things in back in balance....<br><br>GO YARD

Posted By: <b>andy becker</b><p>marty, that's a little harsh.<br />i think darren was a bit tongue in cheek in his post. he had some nice cards for sale earlier this week, and they sold quickly....but i didn't take what darren said as bitching.<br /><br />i actually think it's a good topic. i have been using the bst quite a bit lately. i'm not trying to give my cards away, or have a "firesale"......but, i do try to price them fairly so they will move quickly for numerous reasons. <br /><br />now marty, if you bought some of darren's cards and are just "giving him the business". then i will shut the f/u. <br /><br />have a good night <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br />

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I took what Dr.Darren said as a bit of jest....a little humor on an otherwise boring day. It's hard to read between the keys sometimes... I use the BST usually have pretty good luck. I have bought and sold stuff very quickly and also have priced things that were more than the market would bear at that time or no one was interested in what I had. In the latter circumstance I demanded a refund of my BST seller's fee (that's a joke)........regards

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>For many years before I did auctions, I sold everything retail via pricelists. It didn't take more than the first day of a sale to discover which cards I underpriced. A couple of years ago I broke up an E90-2 set and listed them individually. Since I received about 14 calls on each card, it was pretty obvious I goofed. That's why I prefer the auction route over BST. I know most people are fed up with ebay but I think it is really difficult to price everything right. There is always somebody who knows more about a set than the seller, and is waiting to pounce on an underpriced card. Just my opinion, I know many will disagree.

Posted By: <b>Darren</b><p>Totally in jest. Just an observation, from the humor side of things.<br /><br />Leon, I meant that if you don't already have it, it's probably gonna cost you to get it because it's exceedingly rare...I know you took it in stride. I also posted another topic immediately after on cards priced too high that got axed.

Posted By: <b>Darren</b><p>For the record, I prefer to use the B/S/T for this community. I set a price and if it sells, good if not no problem, negotiations are always welcome. <br /><br />I'm no comedian, but I do have a sense of humor (I've been told)....I'll stick to my day/night job.

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>You said you posted a topic after this one that got axed. I am sure you don't mean that the thread or post got deleted. We would almost never do that......otherwise, I knew what you meant and was jesting back at ya.....Although I have been known to overpay drastically for things I need.....best regards

Posted By: <b>Matt E.</b><p>In my early days of the BST...... I sold a card and then was requested by the original purchaser to go ahead and mail it to another board member because he had just resold it.<br /><br />Now that is selling something too low and a quick flip.<br /><br />Matt
