I (like many others) have had a lot of success here on the BST. I don't know what you're selling, but I bet if you try pricing items in line with VCP recent sales that you'd have a good track record here on the BST.

I price my cards BELOW VCP average and they still wont budge here. One time I tried to sell a Sandy Koufax rookie card. The guy offered my $300 for it. A card shop out of Kansas has the card on their BUY list. They were paying $350. I told the gentleman that I already had an offer of $350 for the card. He proceeded to give me a hard time, and basically made me feel like an idiot for not selling the card to him for $50 less than what I was already offered because he was a "collector"! He basically said "Shame on me for not wanting to help out a "collector". Don't get me wrong, I have had some great transactions on the BST board (the few that I have had). Unfortunately, it is incidents like the Koufax card that stick out in my mind because they are just so absurd.
PS - and don't think it is just an isolated incident. I have had private messages confirming the difficulties some have had selling cards on here. I might try again in the future. Not right now. Ebay is still king for getting rid of cards for me.
