A far better way to search the forum for old posts is to go to the url/address box and type "search site:www.net54baseball.com" (without the quotes) followed by a space and then whatever it is that you want to search for. This will let you use Boolean operators built into Google that Net54 doesn't allow (AND and OR) and quotation marks to search for an exact phrase. It is much better than using the forum's search option.

I used to delete my ask but then changed because I think it is great to have prices in old posts as a reference. If I get my ask, I leave it and type SOLD. If I don't, I put a slash through the price and put SOLD next to it so people know I accepted an offer.

It's up to the seller and/or buyer, and that's all there is to it. They're under no obligation to reveal if they don't want to.

This time, I typed in JOBU in big, capitalized, bold letters above where I have that beautiful piece of information saved. Next time I break it out, BAM!!! you will be cited.

I know this is an old thread (and one of many that covered the same ground), but there has been an alarming increase in the number of people removing the sold prices from their FS threads. It seems everyone is editing them to have "$SOLD" as the final price, so anyone not seeing the original post cannot glean any information from it. These days, with the card market being a single tumbleweed away from turning into the wild west, I implore you to leave the sold prices up!!!! It helps your fellow collectors.
