Question about B/S/T etiquette
Posted By: Ed Hans
Forgive the ignorance of a relative newbie, but when someone posts a WTB for a specific card(s), and another board member (or two) take the trouble to find that card, scan it and post it with a fixed sell price, does the original poster owe that respondent a reply (yea, nay, or I'll think about it)? |

I think responses to B/S/T threads should be "E-mail sent" followed by an actual sent e-mail. That covers you on both possible communication fronts. No response to either would be inappropriate. |

While there are no written rules I would expect folks to give a polite answer back if you go the trouble of trying to help....common courtesy imo.... |

It is my opinion that there is a HUGE lack of etiquette shown on the B/S/T as of recent. |

Is there any question? It would be the mannerly thing to do, of course, assuming he was aware of it. |

Agreed...Someone asked about several NM-mint vintage cards I had posted in BST. I quickly emailed F/B scans, and happily the buyer agreed to buy at my (more than fair) price. |

Thanks for the replies. I did post it directly in the original thread. I did not email him directly. Of course, I can't say for certain that he has seen it, but he has posted on other threads since I posted on his B/S/T thread. I like to think that I would have had the courtesy to respond (even to say no thanks) if I had posted the WTB. |

Hey Ed, I actually sometimes forget that I've posted something on the B/S/T so it's possible that if you didn't email the poster that he didn't see it. |

Question about B/S/T etiquette

In my case I posted something on the B/S/T and didn't get any emails about it, and probably about a week or so later I went to put something else on the B/S/T and saw that someone posted they would take it almost immediately. They never emailed me, but it was all good as the deal worked out...the other party assumed it was already sold when they didn't hear back from me. |

As you well know not everyone is courteous. It would be nice to think of our collecting family as all being nice and courteous......then I go back to "once upon a time" |

I always contact a seller once my item has arrived and ask for the same courtesy in return...happens about 50% of the time. I also provide updates such as payment received and item shipped. It literally takes a half minute to send these emails. |

Question about B/S/T etiquette
Posted By: Tim
Also being a newbie I'm a little paranoid. I put up a WTB last week and arranged to get one of the cards from another seller a few days later. I haven't gotten the card yet, but someone else posted a similar card to what I was looking for in another thread do I need to let him know or post in my thread that I have arranged for one of them? I was thinking I would wait until I got the card and then post in my original that I am now only looking for the other (Who knows what can happen in transit). Any advice? |

If you haven't received the card yet, and you made a deal, then you really should go through with it. If the card you already bought is just in transit, and you do another deal before you get it for the same type card...only to have to return the first one; You might end up getting a bad reputation, or worse. Have you tried contacting the seller? |

I figure this is directed at me, which is fair, as it is probably regarding my inquiry for the Dummy Taylor and Gandil cards over in the tobacco section. |

Question about B/S/T etiquette
Posted By: Martin Neal
I responded to a WTB thread last week and arranged a deal with the buyer at his price (which was close to what I wanted.) In an email, he asked me to send him a Paypal invoice and he would get the funds to me that day. I responded that I have never generated an invoice with Paypal except when it was done automatically through ebay. I gave him my Paypal address and said I would get his address from that and send his card. I have bought and sold on the BST this way many times. I have not heard a word since. Did he find a better deal, or was he uncomfortable with the arrangement? I don't know, but it was a little irritating. I really don't care whether I sell the cards or not, it just happened that some cards he needed were ones that I could part with. What really bothers me is his lack of manners. |

First of all thanks to the folks who will now just put "sold" or "not for sale anymore" in their BST listings instead of editing everything out and putting "DELETE" there. As in the auction house psychology thread I think there is something to seeing how much "action" really goes on there. It's quite a bit. I guess the 0%/0% strategy works pretty well ...... |
