If I'm offering below list I'll just post "pm sent" and assume the card is fair game until the seller comes to a deal with me or another member.

You mean it puts a time stamp on your offer, which the seller is free to reject even if for full price and that's apparently fine with some people. Different perspectives, I guess.

Absolutely. There are some people I don't want to do business with, and I don't care what supposed etiquette suggests, I shouldn't have to. It's just not worth it to deal with some people.

I am sure there are some you don't want to deal with.

I agree and have been on this forum several years. There are 100% members I would not sell a card to for several times my asking price. I have even straight up told 3 members I will never sell them a card. To be clear this is an extremely rare thing. I have had easily 1000 transactions on here with only a handful being bad.

Every quarter, we have a Free Pet Food Pantry behind the local mall. Hundreds of vehicles line up surrounding the entire parking lot....some arriving several hours ahead of the 8AM start time.

Last year, one person finally got to the loading spot and asked what the line was all about...they did not even know...just couldn't resist the possibility of something FREE.

Oh - as far as our current discussion, I don't have anything to add; just wanted to participate.

I suppose, I've never experienced that but it could happen.

B/S/T in my opinion is great and filled with members who treat each other with fairness and respect.

Maybe I'm wrong, but there has seemed to me to be an unwritten Net54 rule that "the first person to claim an item for sale in the BST gets it."

Unless the seller has had bad experiences with that buyer in the past (or has heard about such from others) or is concerned that the buyer is a bot or something, why wouldn't one sell to the first to claim?

Could not agree more with Phil. Just look at my signature below. I wouldn't have the modest collection I have without net54 and the B/S/T.l
