$OLD pet peeve

At the end of the day the BST is a place where hobbyists come together to buy, sell and trade within the trusting net54 community. Deleting asking prices because you're afraid of having to validate your asking price when it comes time to sell is a poor excuse from taking away from the community at large.

It certainly benefits future buyers if sellers make money on the cards that buyers want so they can continue to sell cards to potential buyers.

At the beginning of the day, Net54 is a place where people come to talk about a lot of things, one of which is selling cards and reaching buyers, one method of such through advertising, which like everything else, is up for a certain period in time, and then it is no longer available.

please keep going...you're doing a great job of making my point

You clearly didn't read what I wrote.

[ajjohnsonsoxfan]

we've already established that historical prices realized are kept and found on ebay and AH's...why not BST? And on BST it would only be "Asking Prices" not final. So your comment about advertising and no longer being available is nonsensical to this discussion.

[PhillipAbbott79]

Asking prices
Ebay: Asking prices disappear after 6 months.
Website: Asking prices may disappear at any time.
Auction sites: Auction sites come and go. Not all auction sites maintain opening bid pricing or reserve information for you to never endingly stroll through.

Sale prices
Ebay: Private sale prices are not displayed readily.
Website: Sale prices are not displayed readily at all.
Auction sites: Not all auction sites maintain a history for you to never endingly stroll through or may disappear at any time.

Seems right on par to me. These items are businesses. People selling cards on this forum may or may not be.

Yes and vcp and card target have all the data. What's your point?

[PhillipAbbott79]

Some of it. Just like you can get some of the past prices on the Net54 website, but not all of them.



The point is, your peeve will never be satisfied, here or anywhere else. Insert another quarter to play again.
