Another poll might be, what is your overall spend in the BST sections this year? I had several, several hundred dollar ones, but only 1 over 2k this year. It's been an off year for me anyway, overall. Too many bills!

Agree on the smaller stuff. Me too.

Just seems like 5 years ago high end stuff flew off BST. I bought stuff over 15k a few times. Seems now people are so addicted to the adrenaline rush of auctions they don’t want to forgo that.

Can a selection be added for < $500. That might get a few more responses. I've made several < $500 transactions on the BST for 2024.

Maybe change the title to BST activity for 2024 (instead of 2023).

I only have a household budget that allows smaller purchases, as with my recent 1971 Topps completion. I envy you guys with deep pockets!

I have 3 in the $1000-$2499 range. Technically not in the BST section but all sold to fellow members from posting a pic on Net54.

I have bought several cards on here in that same range over the years but none this year. Bought a lot of small(under$100) items this year in the BST section.

I selected "Other" because it's less than $500. A lot less, actually!

It certainly seems to me that most items with substantial value don't show up on the bst anymore. I used to log in several times a day to check for new listings but now I often don't even check once a day.

I think I sold six or seven of the eight items I listed this year, with a couple being over $500.00.

Personally, I'm pitching a shutout. Or getting shut out, as I'm still sitting on zero BST transactions lifetime.

Part of it is just because I don't buy a whole lot, and when I do, it's usually rare stuff that goes to auction, or is brokered by one of my collector friends.

And if I'm selling, usually it's going to be on eBay. Most of the stuff that I'm selling tends to be fairly obscure, and if I'm being honest, my prices tend to be rather elevated, which doesn't mesh well with the deal-seeking buyers on the board.

ETA: I have done several deals (on both sides) with fellow board members. But to my knowledge, the stuff was never listed on the BST, so it doesn't seem to meet the fundamental basic BST criteria.

Yes, always good to know what year it actually is . . . .

Yes.
I answered it as if it was "how much have you bought and spent total there in 2024." I missed that it was for a single item.
You can remove one of the 4 votes for option 2

I agree with this. Certain sellers are almost ridiculously high, just waiting for a sucker to come along. How many times do you see bump after bump lowering the price? Or the famous last chance before it goes to eBay or auction? Or my all-time favorite, the ones with expectations so stupidly high, no price is even listed, because the seller is awaiting a sucker.

I don't want to make an offer. If you really want to sell something, put a price on it.

And please read my above ignored post.

N54 BST is my favorite place to buy/sell.
Many dozens of successful transactions here.
Let’s end the year with a flurry folks.
Post your items for sale.
