Should Some Interference Be Allowed In The BST Areas?

[x2drich2000]

I think any time a member posts something that is not factual in their sale post, interfering to correct that fact is appropriate. IMO the person interfering should be able to prove what they are saying and not just post an opinion. I'm fine with your scenario. As another example I would be fine with a case where someone says something along the lines of this is the only copy and the person interfering can show another.

+1 in favor.

BS being corrected will probably upset a lot of members. Facts should always come first.

This makes perfect sense but can get out of hand. I would suppose the moderator would step in if that occurred.

On another note, if you are selling your house and the bank for the buyer says there are not enough comps to certify that your asking price is reasonable, wouldn't you either a) find all you could to support your asking price ahead of time, or b) request the opportunity to prove them wrong? Generally speaking, you are looking for what benefits you and not the buyer. The buyer has the option to back out (if the contract allows) if they do not like the results, or accept your hard work looking for comps and request a review or go to another bank.

It has been said "caveat emptor" and that is true so therefore buyers should do their homework and be sure of what they are buying. To allow a group of others to interject their "thoughts" when they disagree what the asking price is seems inappropriate and should not be the norm. Again, it is said, the value is what the one willing to purchase believes what the value is, or is willing to accept what is asked because they want it for reasons unknown.

After reading a lot of good comments, there is a strong/good reason to not allow comps:

Comp was based on a card of the same grade. However, as indicated in other threads, an 8 isn't an 8 isn't an 8. The comps used may be for stellar examples of the card while the card being sold may be one of those 8-ish cards that should probably be a 6 or 7. Maybe the centering on the comps were perfect which led to a higher overall sale price. Even if the comp was for a 4, there are nice 4s and some ugly 4s (and we've all seen that before).

Comp was based on a different time frame when the irrational exuberance was in abundance.

Not my call.

A lot of people are missing (purposely ignoring?) the basic question being asked. Should some INTERFERENCE be allowed? It has nothing to do with sc*mbags trying to screw over people. That is rightfully called out by everyone all the time, as it should always be. It's about people messing with someone's FT/FS posts just to be an ass. That's what opening this metaphorical door will lead to. Case in point, some contrarian will probably jump in to argue that my use of the word 'metaphorical' here was improper.

Can o' frickin' worms!!!

IMHO, require LTB or WTB in BST titles. WTTF also OK. Keeps it simple. I click a post w/o WTB or LTB, I GTFO PDQ. Finally, just keep the sales posts simple with good clear images; otherwise TLDR.

What do you think a poll would show about requiring WTB, LTB, WTTF, in thread titles?

Even if it is more want it, than not, it would have to be managed

Oh, I don't really care, I was just trying to toss in as many acronyms as I could.
