A Reasonable Observation and Suggestion for B/S/T
I'm not going to make a federal case over this, but is anyone else a bit perturbed when a B/S/T thread gets bumped long after the sale to report safe arrival of the item or similar such chatter.
I do like to get this information on my shipped cards, but isn't a quick PM the appropriate vehicle to report this type of message, rather than bumping the thread. Listers on B/S/T with something for sale, like to keep their wares near the top of their respective sections. Knowing that a sold card successfully reached Walla Walla, Washington is not "need to know" information for the entire forum. Enforcing "common sense" should not be an administrative mandate.

I have only done it twice, but I thought others, being as I am up here in Canada, might like to know there were no hiccups sending it/them up here to me, and it also lets the others, who might also be considering purchases from the seller, know he is good to deal with.

No more so than when that monster thread gets bumped every time someone buys or sells a T206.

Hey Frank wanted to let you know I received your sarcasm in a timely manner. It arrived faster than expected and was well packaged. Thanks.

It's not near as bad as all the nice card or good luck with the sale type posts.
I also agree with Peter about that monster T206 thread. Does anybody even collect them anymore? |

I have more of a "problem" (not much of one, maybe a pet peeve?) with the sellers who bump 5-10-15 times with no change to price or anything. A friendly bump or two, but after that, realize nobody wants it.

Shouldn't T210 be the REAL monster? 100 more cards in the set, and all tougher to find. Just sayin'

I agree with the OP.
It also bothers me when people bump a thread to say "Sold!". Edit your original post so that is says sold and don't send it back to the top to bump down other threads that actually contain things that are still for sale.

What makes you think Ben was referring to you?

Yep that is the guy. I am sure I am a few of those successful transactions. Great guy to buy from with a slightly weird sense of humor.

I kind of agree with Frank BUT it does show others that the transaction went smoothly and that the seller/buyer are trustworthy.

I always assume that the unprofessional, non-responsive, no-good guys will be identified soon enough, no need to accentuate the positive......

Also hate seeing the sell price removed/edited and replaced with sold. Makes it hard to see what things I'm interested in are selling for on the board. Seems to be a gap between prices on the BST and elsewhere (i.e. eBay).

There was a whole contentious, endless (of course) thread about this not too long ago.
