How about the seller must describe defects of card rather than saying:

The picture is the description

or

Please ask questions prior to bidding.

My golden rule.

When you ask a Seller his best/bottom line price and he/she gives it to you do not insult the Seller with a lower price.
Or how about I’ll give you this. No not happening sir.

This has happened to me numerous times. I do my best to get a person into said card/cards and a fair price. Every time it does happen I never sell another card to said low baller. It’s insulting, I have never done this to a Seller. If it’s to high for me I say thank you for your time best of luck on your sale.

When an offer is made and accepted a transaction must be completed, barring something extreme and unforeseen. Anyone not following through on a deal they made because they found a better offer or deal elsewhere should be banned from the bst section.

If a seller really isn't sure what a card is worth and wants to test the market by taking offers, I don't have an issue.

I follow one rule:

Price fairly & ship fast.

Although I guess people may not agree with part 1 based on my recent 12 mo ebay sales history.

I agree with you about pricing fairly.

I ted to list stuff for about 10% of BV and for some reason can't sell anything on here. When I'm selling on ebay, I tend to take the average of the last 5-7 sales and list my BIN about 10% below that. Sometimes that works. Can't seem to buy either (here) when I post a thread. But I see other guys posting threads with prices like 40% of BV.

As for shipping, I try to ship next day if possible. I just got a printer last week, so can print labels at home right after sale is made. I used to have to wait until the next time I worked (M-F) to print off labels since I could only do it at work. So I will ship next day or second day in most cases unless I'm out of bubble mailers and have to run to Walmart to get more.

Also be mindful of idiots who are going to bombard you with questions with no intentions of buying a damn thing, eh Ronnie? Sound familiar?

If a card is really that rare and and a similar card hasnt been sold in a while I can see your point. But even then i think most guys know what they're willing to take. Price it a little above that for a starting point.
