In other words, who knows who's up to what?

I see only one (1) person mentioned Goodwin. That might be curious. Anyone want to guess why they don't get mentions?

Another thing - the BST on this board isn't auctions, but there is some obscene price gouging there by a few enterprising types. Are they fellow hobbyists? "Good guys"? Or predatory types who are taking advantage of a free board?

There is a auction section on the BST section and yes several predatory types, some with prices that make Dean's look like a bargain bin at WalMart but just like on eBay those types can be easily avoided.

Stone Cold used to have a slogan:

that said I trust about 3 people off of this site and 2 of them know who they are.

Sure, we can avoid anyone and anything. Just like most of us now completely avoid eBay, which used to be the single best place to acquire cards. The fixed price format is a disaster for collectibles if you 'sell' stuff at ridiculous prices.

What I see on the BST now are too many wannabe dealers who are using this forum are their free marketplace. It didn't used to be like that.

Buy, Sell, Trade

Yup, why would anyone wannabe there to sell a card???

I'm surprised Jim Stinson hasn't come up already. He's a seller with integrity, as are the other members here I've dealt with.
