$OLD pet peeve

While it's not a huge deal to me, I generally don't like people knowing how much I pay for things, cards or otherwise. If me not wanting to share that info somehow leads to someone paying more than they would have otherwise, and that's what we're really talking about here, then so be it.

I dont disagree with that. However when you hear sellers in negotiations say 'cant do it for that, i have more than that into the card' If i then saw the asking price on that very same card in a prior recent sale for less (assume that was the card the seller previously bought) than what the seller was asking then I would know about the seller integrity for example..

basically im fine for all the secrets, even though in houses everyone knows what people paid for the most part, but i dont want to hear it from sellers how much they paid for a card when they try to negotiate but that very same seller removing prices of what the asking price was on a card they bought. cant have it both ways for me..
