I figured it out, do it just like you have been then go into your trash and empty the trash it will take them out.

RE: EMAIL from Beckett regarding Organize change on 5/11
I honestly don't have that big of a problem with this in general. I have the opg so it dsn't affect me that much anyway, but if you think about it, there should be some type of fee involved for the service they provide. Granted, the service should work correctly over a long period before they start charging people for it. Alot of the functions aren't even working right now so how they had the stones to announce this now and not expect any fallout is beyond me. I don't think 2 bucks a month is too much to have all your cards listed and priced and organized for you. When it is all up and running i think it will be well worth that compared to other sites this is the easiest to use for trading (when it works of course)

I don't think people would be so mad if the site wasn't a disaster for so long while we were still getting charged for a site that never worked. Then the changeover took forever and the trade function was garbage for a long time. I don't quite understand how they have the audacity to do this now while alot of things don't work still. But more so, they should take into account how much money they've gotten from alot of users for using a site that never worked , EVER. Now you did the right thing and cleaned up the site and seem to have an idea of what's going on and you bang your customers out for fees immediately after. That really is a total lack of respect or consideration for your customers . I hope alot of people stay here and like i said, it's the easiest to use and my favorite, but you'll drive people like me out as well if all these people leave and its' just me arguing with a couple of 14 yr olds on here because all of the good traders and contributers left. You should take that into account before making rash decisions like this . One of these days you're gonna stick it to your customers too many times and they are gonna disappear man, thats a fact

Stay classy Mr. Gulledge. If anyone has this guys email or twitter address could you please forward it to me? I found it very humorous to read this again. Just a case of another suit pretending to care I guess (think of the South Park BP commercials)


7/7/10
Dear Beckett User,

Please allow me to introduce myself – I am Brian Gulledge, the new President of Beckett Media LLC. I have recently joined the company with a primary focus of correcting, improving and growing our online presence.
-This newest email seems like a great way to do so, hopefully you don't have too many more ways to improve Beckett or I won't be able to afford it

I feel that being frank and upfront with you, the Beckett community, is much more appropriate.
-Is that why you haven't had a press release since saying that the prize for sticking around with the crappy site was to raise the subscription. Where was the frankness in telling us when the website is going to be running all of these fancy new features that we are going to be paying for before they even work.

The new team that has been assembled on this project is world class. Many of the websites this team has created and worked on are among the top 100 largest traffic sites in the world.
-hahahahahahahahaha, oh let me catch my breath, hahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahaahah. I would like to see one of those companies named and see how it stacks up against this site. I think someone lied on their resume.

Our expected timeline to launch the new website is the end of the December. In the short term, we will continue to work diligently on solving existing speed and time-out errors. Please be patient with us. We have heard you loudly and clearly, and that is why this talented new team is in place.
-Ok, admit it, which one of you was loud and clear and said please charge me for the org. It is getting close to a year since this was made, five months since new website was promised, AND IT STILL IS NOT 100% RIGHT!

Other than the fact that I can get on the site without it breaking (which really should be a given), someone name one thing that has changed for the better since this guy has taken over as president. To tell you the truth I wish the faceless corporation still owned Beckett because at least they didn't fake caring. And of coarse I read this the day that I finally decide to make my trade thread, figures.


Most Sincerely,
Brian D. Gulledge
President

Admin Edit: Brian Gulledge is President of Beckett Media, LLC.

RE: EMAIL from Beckett regarding Organize change on 5/11
And here I was getting ready to finally load some stuff up for trading. I was pretty excited that the trade function was working again. That's it for me. I've got one other site I'll be sticking to for trading and then check out another I've heard about. Otherwise, I'm just selling off my stuff to collect vintage. Not even going to bother trading on here or handing over any money for anything. OPG runs out in 12 days and that's it.

I think I've been pretty patient and defended them a decent amount of the time. Can't really defend the past four and a half months.
