I figured you would be the first one to complain but it's ok for everyone else to do whatever they want why don't you take a walk buddy. So other people can put things on BST and other auctions but that's ok? Oh and why don't you stop crying already.

Robert, it really isn't anything personal. I just enjoy using the BST to buy, sell and trade cards. I look at it pretty much every day because I enjoy it. I probably am an idiot for engaging you, but we all sat back and didn't say anything while you bumped this thread non-stop for like 6 months. I figured I would try and get you to see how rude it is to continually bump this thread above the other people who are actually trying to sell things. That hasn't worked obviously, but I gave it a shot.

Your thread is not a sale thread (it was for the first few months), yet it shows up a few times a week in the Buy/Sell/Trade section of this site. You put it in one of the largest auctions with too high of a reserve. If it can't sell there, you just aren't going to sell it at this time (and at this price). Lots of people on this site have expensive cards that they could put on the BST at twice what they are worth and bump them 3x a week for a year. But no one else ever does it.

You mention other people "doing whatever they want" on the BST. I'm not sure what you mean by that.

Please answer this question:

Can you name one instance in the last year where someone has mis-used the BST even half as bad as you have with this thread? You can leave out names and just explain the situation if you'd like. In my opinion, this thread is the worst example of poor BST etiquette that I've ever seen by far.

I realize it's just one thread, and that I should just ignore it. But, just because people "don't have to click on it" doesn't mean you should get to break the rules.

I see cards right now on the BST plus on eBay that's not right. I just want to sell my card like everyone else.

What's wrong with listing a card in multiple places? If someone buys it one place, the seller would end the other listings. It is a legitimate sales offer, and actually shows that the seller is motivated to sell.

Not to mention that you bumped this thread when your card was for sale at Heritage. So that's a little hypocritical.

Do you actually not see why people are frustrated by your thread? If you really don't then I'm sorry for being so direct. I was operating under the assumption that you know you are mis-using the BST and that you just didn't care.

This thread is a real cluster fu$k

[Bigb13]

I did not know that I was misusing the BST this is the very first time I ever sold a card I always am the buyer never the seller. I put it for sale here first then when it did not go I consigned it to Heritage they were the ones who said to put a 15k reserve on it not me. And after 7 more hours it will again be for sale here.

[Luke]

Alright, fair enough. I do wish you good luck selling it. I think people understand that the card is available, so hopefully you can keep the bumps to a minimum.

Too many members just want this debacle to go away. Start another thread if you want to sell it on the BST. And to everyone who emailed, pm'd and communicated otherwise, you are welcome.
