t206 green cobb...NO LONGER FOR SALE

Because many buyers would not want what they paid in a private sale disclosed publicly. Doing so without the expressed permission of the buyer could damage a relationship and be bad for business. Why risk that with nothing to gain by revealing the price?

If nobody knows who the buyer is who cares? I don't get all this cloak and dagger crap, it's baseball cards.

The buyer might. I have said in the past I think its ridiculous that people are allowed to remove asking prices from the bst. I also disagree with Leon banning Jake from quoting listings to prevent list prices from being deleted. But to expect a seller to disclose a sale price is unreasonable to me. And even if you could force the issue, how often do you think you'd get the truth?

If you think telling someone they can't circumvent the rules then that is your opinion and you are entitled to it.

I didn't realize there was an official rule allowing us to remove asking prices after a sale is made. In my opinion there should not be. And Jake was just helping to make sure that information remained public. As it should have always been.

There isn't a rule per se'. But when a seller takes the price down he doesn't mean for another member to post it. And I had a poorly written sentence. It should have said if you think it's ok, it's your prerogative, but it's not ok to me.

I figured that's what you meant. And since there is no official rule regarding removing prices from the bst I feel there should also be no rule against quoting listings so prices can't later be deleted. Not a huge deal I suppose, but I just find it annoying when asking prices get deleted and felt Jake was helping out the community by making sure that information stayed available.

Nor was it ok with me. It’s not Jakes or any other members decision/call to interfere with another members bst auction which isn’t theirs. It’s a very slippery slope.

I know of many others here who feel the same way as I, with Leon being one of them. Thank you for that Leon!
