So if they are new here and have never sold before,you wouldn't buy from them?One of the things of that I like about the B/S/T is 99% of the members selling
are honest.I have done a lot of deals on here and have had no problems.And if anyone has a problem,you will hear about it.Also Leon does a great job kepping out scammers!!

I think he just means its nice to look thru someone's history and see what type of seller they are. Problems in the past, good seller, etc..

It's also nice to search years past and see what items sold for. I like the edit button, but I actually hate it when people change the price to "sold". I like to see what an item sold for 3 years ago that I may have just purchased myself.

I see what your saying.When he said he wanted to see if they sold before,
I thought he was leary about buying from newer members.

Any guideline that you implement Leon will work for me, so no need for me to vote.

I'm one board member who uses the "PM on its way" avenue when purchasing a card and will continue to do so. After purchasing close to 300 cards on the B/S/T since joining Net54, the B/S/T is obviously a safe place and my method seems to be working well for me.

As far as the feedback system, I agree with Rob D. There is no need to post in a thread that you received the cards. Just send the seller a PM instead of bumping an old thread to the top. New threads will stay on the front page a little longer and a seller will know that you received your card/s. Both bases are covered.

As was evidenced in all of the comments, and after sleeping on it and analyzing the percentages above, I don't think anyone could say there is an overwhelming majority of any particular thing (in the poll) voted on. For that reason there will be no new, written rules.

I have changed my mind on this. Let's leave it as taking each case as a 1 off. So, just PM me on stuff that is going on and we can discuss. But yes, I would generally think more than 4-5 open threads at once is too many..and I would probably consolidate some if I were PMd about it.
