I don't understand when a sellers puts what appears to me to be a really overpriced item up for sale in the BST and then they bump it immediately with lower pricing for many days in a row with no response from other members.

As the title says...it is just my pet peeve, I am very happy to be a member here.

If someone is bumping something every day then that is against the rules. Everyone should be respectful of each others postings. Consolidating threads should be done when possible too.

No scans on cards for sale or sellers that say "can't scan until....." or "graded accurately and you can return if not satisfied but I can't scan it." To me, you lose a sale. I do not want to waste my time returning cards and I will wait for a scan but I think that the seller might be taking other offers (yes, I am suspicious type).

There's currently a thread in the tobacco section of the BST that the seller has bumped or responded to buyers in 15 times in the past 5 days. Unless he desperately needs the money to fend off foreclosure on his house that seems excessive.

If it's the one with 23 replies I just took a look, and to his defense, most of the bumps although they are a bit excessive, are giving updates, legitimate info and so forth. They aren't just bumps for the sake of bumps, which I often see with very little time between them. And he did keep it all in one thread...you guys should at least be happy about that.

My really only one and it is MINOR; I ignore any BST listing that contains the phrase, "Now Accepting Offers." No pricing, no consideration on my part, even if it is a card I am looking for.

I agree tell me what you would like to have and if it is close we may be able to work it out.

I once read someone commenting about buying ads headlined WANTED TO BUY. "Why is he telling us about something he WANTED to buy, instead of letting us know what he WANTS to buy?"

Agree.

Also, a minor but annoying thing to me, is when people will state an opinion than go on to tell us that it's, "IMO", "IMHO" or "just my two cents". Does anyone ever believe that they're posting an opinion for someone else?

It just means that you don't feel you are necessarily stating a fact - kind of a way of appeasing those who get ruffled when someone believes differently from them.
