It is a personal choice by the seller to remove the price. Not everyone does it.

But let me say to all members, please don't delete the other stuff besides the price in the BST listings. I would appreciate it. And if you do you will probably get a pm from me ....The place would look barren if everyone did that. Thanks...I think this one was on the BST., Pete S would know....

I always appreciate when the price is left in the listing and it just says "Sold" somewhere. A lot of times I'm just browsing the BST and see a card I'm interested in listed. When I open the listing and see it has sold already I get bummed out, but the very next thing I do is look for the asking price so I know what the card went for and I what I can expect to pay for it when I find another one. Just my opinion and observation.
Nice card by the way Leon. .

25. The War of the Discloses
The eternal, ongoing debate of whether or not the price of a card sold in the B/S/T section should be kept in the thread for posterity’s sake, or removed by the seller.

Don't know why anyone needs the cloak of secrecy over a sale. . . . if you consigned to an AH the sale price would be right there for all to see.

Some only buy to resell. I have sold cards on here and then see them relisted on here as soon as the new owner gets them at WAY higher than my sale price.

It's funny though...I just sold something here yesterday and did replace the price with SOLD. I only did that because it seems everyone does it...I totally did the "sheep" thing and did as the others do. Couldn't care less leaving a price out there...so totally just followed the perceived flow...

I understand not posting the negotiated final sale price, especially if the final sale price is lower than the original list price, because that is the seller’s and buyer’s ultimate business.
However, why delete the original price that the seller posted for the entire form to see when listing the card? The original listing price should always remain. People have already seen it. It was not a secret. It’s just a secret to those that did not see the listing until after the card sold. Just list sold, but keep the original price. |

Maybe the first reply to every sales thread should quote the original post with the prices.
Just sayin'

Are people really using BST asking prices as a tool to evaluate value? I love the BST and have got a fair number of cards from it, but you can't really pull data effectively from it's records to view sold listings of a card, there is a small volume of listings, and almost all deals are closed over the phone/email/DM's so you basically never know what it closed at, and often if it closed at all. I don't see how this is effective except for perhaps an edge case of a card that doesn't come to market with any frequency, and there is nothing else to go off of.

Leon, There have been threads in the past regarding BST etiquette and rules. Perhaps you can sticky this at the top of the BST thread for all to understand. However, I never thought about the Bigdaddy post (quote the original post in a response). I thought that was kind of clever but you're saying no? Just curious, what's the rationale for saying "that's not going to happen"? It sounds like a BST rule that I wasn't aware of in the past.

The removing of prices doesn't bother me as much as the same few sellers that bump their listings daily. Sometimes multiple times a day to stay at the top of the page. The BIN listings that very rarely sell in the auction section that get listed over and over and over also make me shake my head.
Here is a card you can purchase in the BST section.

Members can let the thread sit a few days and then bump it. It will still be on the front page. Also, Please PM me of folks listing the same type items in 3+ threads in the same section at the same time. Members should condense them and just name each card in the subject title. ![]() . .

One more thing concerning the BST areas. No one should be commenting there unless it is a positive about a card. Anything at all concerning what someone paid is off limits. That is not the place for it. Any questions LMK...thanks all
and a card...

Seeing a great old card you used to own is kind of like seeing a gorgeous ex-girlfriend with another guy. At least she's in good hands Bought the card from REA in 2017 and owned it until Pete S. and I worked out a trade for an inexcusably more modern card. It was the right move for my collection, but haven't been able to get an e90-1 Young back into the fold yet either! Glad it sold right here on the BST. Enjoy Leon! |

There has been some great stuff in the auction section lately.
Ending date in the title would help people know when it ends. Also when over change the title to reflect it is over by changing date to SOLD or ENDED. To change the title click on edit in the lower right corner. Then click on go advanced in the lower right corner and then it will let you edit the title. For the Jedi mind trick humor. The 1953 Topps License Plate Cards are not the cards you are looking for.

I used to change my listings to say $OLD. I realized I like seeing the asking prices when I try to research things by looking on the BST, which happens somewhat frequently, so now I add (sold) to the title when things are gone so people don't have to click on it, and then next to the asking price I put (SOLD) if it sold tor the ask and if I eventually took an offer or made a trade I leave the ask but cross it out and still put (SOLD). I would love it if everyone did this. I have never once been asked by someone to remove the price because it is a private transaction --- likely because everyone knows the price was already posted on a public site with tons of views and would probably be available to anyone who pms to ask. And as the seller I have some say in things too.
What drives me crazy on the BST is when something sells and the seller adds a new post saying Sold!, which bumps a no longer available item back up to the top, instead of just editing the initial post and leaving it in the list wherever it already was so it can get off page 1 faster.
