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.

I strike through my price and write SOLD next to it.

I wish everyone would do that..... it would help with pricing cards. Ultimately it doesn't really matter to me though.

My own "when to bump" rules of thumb are:

I try to wait at least a month, unless I'm super- eager to sell, then I wait till it falls to the 2nd page (about 25 posts down?).

I understand. We may have a trade in us one day involving a red crofts and a mother’s bread! Otherwise, you know I have lots of stuff! Awesome card

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.
