One of my favorite expressions since I learned it from a friend who grew up in Jersey.

Lol. Well didn't grow up in Jersey but residing there last 26 years.

A real NY/NJ expression I like is "not for nothin . . . "

"Not for nothin. . .but I could have sent it to the auction house myself."

To me, the only legitimate complaint is when the buyer lies to the seller.

Net54 feels more like a community to me than a trading platform. In fact, I find this to be its most endearing attribute.

People who treat it like a community are more inclined (in my opinion) to feel slighted when another member uses the site as a means to flip cards for a quick profit.

Early during my time here, there was a T206 Titus for sale on the BST. The seller didn't realize the card had risen dramatically in value. Consequently, their asking price was roughly 15% of the going rate at the time.

That BST thread turned into a discussion which I found fascinating. Quite a few members voiced opinions very similar to what I've read here.

You post something, it’s been up for 15 minutes, and someone you’ve never dealt with asks for a 35 to 40 percent discount. Really?

I simply reply with, "sorry, no."

Please don't take this anyway except one more opinion. If I have something up on the BST for 300 and a newer guy offers 175, I am not offended. I would probably make a counteroffer.

every thread should...
