Good day, Beckett Community!
Well now, I must say that this thread does not come with the grace and enjoyment that usually encompasses my posts. Instead, this thread focuses on the thing that nearly every member on this site has had a negative opinion about... greed.
Save some very selfless offers from amazingly upstanding members, the mass of the trade offers that I have had recently have seen members ask me to trade premium cards for base or small inserts. I am not talking Young Guns or similar, but a Nicklas Lidstrom Auto for a handful of base cards. Not $100 worth of base cards, either, but a dollar-for-dollar trade. I doubt that there is another member on the site that would do that trade.
I have seen a mass exodus of members over the years because of these actions, and even more complaints. But now it is members that made these very complaints that are taking these actions, or members that left due to these actions (yes... ALONG with the site issues) that have since returned. I have even been told that a $120 card that I have is not worth that much when it was put into question.
Please do yourselves and the other members of the site a favour... be fair. I don't know why there are so many members that think that it is okay to try and take advantage of others recently, but this is not the first time that I have had to hit the boards to address such a situation recently. I am not going to be taken advantage of, and I will not allow other members to be taken advantage of either. This is not just a rant, this is my stance as a moderator of the site. This site's members' reputation was built on integrity and ethics. I am not willing to see that put to the way-side.
Best wishes, Beckett Community!
