New Member Question - Protocol - Not Leaving the "Sold" Price Up

A couple reason people might delete the price 1) the buyer might not want other people knowing what they paid 2) the seller might not want people to know what they gave away 3) with no price, it stops the next person from saying I would have given you x more. Others leave the price up and their post gets bumped 10 years later asking if the card is still available.

Regarding bumping threads, it is generally not advised to bump more than once every 3 days or so. Don't be that guy whose post always has to be at the top and knock everyone else down the page. Basically, play nice and you'll fit right in.

I believe I started a similar thread a couple years ago. As others have said opinions range from strong feelings one way or the other, with others who don't really care. I do not believe prices should be removed, or listings without prices should be allowed.

But this is Leon's board and he has stated many times he prefers as few rules as possible.

I want that!!!!

Another one is whether you must put all cards in one post or whether you make many posts. Suppose you have a bunch of t206s to sell- post them all in one post or can you post each card in a separate post? I think it’s widely regarded that multiple listings from the same set (say E-99 or t206) should all be put in same post. But what if you have a bunch of different E cards, like an E105, e103, a few e92 (different backs), and D304 dot good measure. And they all have “razor sharp corners”

Pretty card for a "2"

It doesn't bother me when sellers replace the price with "sold".

It wouldn't bother me if they just put (SOLD) next to the price.

But...

If the price is left, that doesn't mean that the item sold for that price. There is often a bit of bargaining behind the scenes between the time that the price is posted and the "sold" is added.

'Zactly, all we really know is the the listed price was the asking price.

I deserve a cut of this potential blockbuster deal!!!!!

I always delete the price.

Since I list items at ridiculously low prices many are sold to re-sellers who would prefer that what they paid not be of record.

Ryan, yes I do, however, I have no desire to move it right now.

This place is great. I check in on it weekly, if not daily, and yet I often go years between buying a card - that's how great this site is.
