Change from $ to $OLD

Just curious why people go back and delete prices from B/S/T posts after card(s) have sold? I'm always curious to learn about new sets and cards and knowing pricing is a valuable part of that process. It's obviously the sellers that are deleting the prices post sale but do the buyers care? Or does this practice protect the sellers somehow?

Here's an example post: http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=222608
I don't know a lot about exhibits and would have liked to know what the OP was asking for it...

Don't really understand it, but always curious about sold prices.

There was a fairly lengthy thread about this last year:

I agree with the OP, and with the others who have chimed in. I like to see what somebody was asking for a card even after it has sold.

I think some poeple are buying to resale and would like to keep there purchase price private.

Simple, after a card is sold it's only the business of the 2 parties involved. Is a dealer at a show responsible for telling everyone who walks up to his table what any of his previous sales were whenever someone asks? I understand people are interested in going rates but most have to pay for those services on other sites. Not to mention, I can't begin to tell you how many guys inquire about the availability of a card even though it's marked sold just because the price is still listed.
Sorry, that's just the way I do business.

I agree that I like to see recent sale prices, but my thought was that it was to be clear that the item was sold and not still for sale.

Buy more cards....that way you will know more prices.......Jerry

And please don't delete entire posts in the BST area unless you mess up and put it in the wrong section. It makes the place look bad. Take out prices if you want to but please leave the other info. I think it's a rule but most folks know not to delete their entire posts when something is sold, traded or not sold. ...Overall our BST gets a lot of activity and is still a very good place to do transactions. It's not perfect but what is? And remember it's always caveat emptor. Ask for references and if someone won't give any, or is acting more stupid than normal, shoot me or another moderator a PM to take a look. Thanks everyone.
