BST Policy on Backing Out of a Deal

[Leon]

It seems it's time to let members know, again, the informal policy of backing out of a deal on the BST. If you make a deal and back out of it, and no money exchanged hands and no one is hurt financially (excepting for the lack of a sale in question) then the member backing out will not be reprimanded. If the member does it again that is a different story. If the member backs out of the deal and then lies about it, or twists and contorts the issues, then that also will be a damning thing for the person backing out, and those actions could easily cause them to be suspended, as was the case this morning. I am open to debate on the subject but the rule has been this way for years. That being said please always let me or another moderator know of any stinky situations and they will be addressed, every time. Lastly, it will be the very rare circumstance when any actions done elsewhere affects a membership here.
Thanks and happy collecting!!
