Honest people aren't the problem. Neither are people that say "I'll take it on a post".

Hell, most the guys know who has what anyway. People post items worth 5 or 6 figures all the time here.

Go ahead and draft up the rules that you think should apply to the BST. And then lobby Leon to make them the law of the BST.

I wish you the best of luck!

Actually, I asked Leon directly today.His response was to post in both. That's the issue I see in this. Some post in one or the other not in both. Leon says you should.

What's so bad about keeping it in one place vs multiple?

I'd say the person that ended up with this is staying quite, because he doesn't want to be involved in this thread. Not because people know what he paid for said item.

How easy would it be for both parties if it was done in the BST post vs having both places that is causing issues. Maybe it will get more frequent,maybe it won't.

What I do know is if it's given one place it won't hurt the BST at all. People will still buy, and sell, and it will be done in order so no one can feel slighted. It protects both parties, and the others behind the initial winner if it breaks down. If you don't want people to know who you are get a burner account for BST.

Cool. Good luck with enforcing those rules.

But when it comes to burner accounts, those are definitely not allowed around here under the existing rules, and will even get you banned PDQ. So that solution is DOA.
