new rule suggestion for BST

no auctions. Its not that what I think Jasonbar is doing is wrong (in fact hes a good seller) but it could be the start of a terrible trend.

There's no transparency at all, leaving room for abuse.  Not saying that's what Jasonmm is doing, but still.

I despise the whole "invisible auction" process.

Put the damned thing on eBay or GameGavel, link to the auction and be done it.

I agree. Keep it a simple "buy and sell".
I too like Jason, bought from him before, solid guy. But I don't agree with his auctioning post. Could lead us down a bad path.

It's a one off thing and it was something he couldn't do on Ebay.  His final response is informative in the thread.  It's not like it was a noob or anything.  Yes, I've bought from him before too.  Good guy.  Let it go.

If anything, I say get rid of one rule before adding another.  Rule 11 comes to mind as one to eliminate....  :angel:

To be clear, you meant Jasonbar, not Jasonmm.

Yeah, if we're talking about Jasonmm, I'd ban him from B/S/T altogether.
