but most folks know not to delete their entire posts when something is sold, traded or not sold. ...Overall our BST gets a lot of activity and is still a very good place to do transactions. It's not perfect but what is? And remember it's always caveat emptor. Ask for references and if someone won't give any, or is acting more stupid than normal, shoot me or another moderator a PM to take a look. Thanks everyone.

Sorry, Leon. I have been guilty of deleting all the info from my BST threads in the past, especially when an item didn't sell. Moving forward, I will leave the content and only edit the, "for sale" info.

That saying about learning something new every day rings true.

No worries, Eric. It's just nice to see what it was that was being offered or talked about. The thinking is, if everyone deleted everything over there, after the transaction is consummated, how would it look? It's not a big deal.....but helps the members, a bit, if it is left.

I usually PM members when they completely delete stuff and ask them not to do that in the future. Leaving pricing is up to each person, whatever floats your boat. For me personally, sometimes I leave the prices and sometimes I don't. I almost always give a ballpark price of an item I sold if I am PM'd. There are always exceptions but a ballpark price usually doesn't hurt.

I decided a while back to leave the prices of sold cards in my listings. That way people can see what a bargain some other collector got.

Ha - all that does is make me kick myself when missing out on deals.

I always leave them. Just because that seems to me like the natural thing to do I guess. If anyone ever asked me to remove it I would, but that has never happened. I've also never had anyone ask I a card marked sold was still available.

I delete them in case the person buying the cards are flippers. People seem to be adverse to someone making a profit quickly on a card.

The asking price has been advertised in a public forum - I see no reason to delete it from a sold listing.

The actual sale price is private between the buyer and seller and I see no reason that it should be made public unless both parties want to.

This is basically the policy of Ebay where many more cards are bought and sold. I have not heard of anyone objecting to the Ebay policy - and in fact there is usually much discussion on here about final prices on some of the high-end cards.
