Now, if this gets allowed, then I know I'm ****ed because I had a post closed with a much, much smaller lot, but for the exact same reason.
Last I knew "or best offer" generally meant people can try to lowball. The price is still $650, but the option to offer less is available is the seller is willing to take it.That constitutes a cash auction?[/QUOTE] According to BoltBait, yep. __________________ Now collecting Mistform Ultimus!

Of course that makes it a cash auction. People would otherwise list their cards way above what most people would say they are worth and then just have a "Or best offer" and let the offers roll in. This isn't ebay.

The last time I reported a rules infraction (multiple user names for one person), I was told that it wasn't hurting anyone and that the violation would be left alone. Needless to say, that response would not make me go out of the way to report another violation if I saw one.

Yup and he was the reason i got quite close to getting banned. And why Irish31 got banned. He smacked me for things i said to him in IM conversations. or if i posted them on MOTL he would smack me for "faking" IM convo's.

back when I had a H/W list, my title was "Foil Moxes and Foil Black Lotus!!!"I never said I had them, and the first line of the post was that these cards don't exist, and yet nderdog smacked me. I gotta admit, I kinda liked it.

That's why titles should just say Cards. Everyones it will be by default Cards. __________________ 7000ish posts == Should put me in the top 25 or so in Ontario.

I'll give you a glaring violation. I wish karma was more than just a mottle thing, way back in the day when I traded I know I would have alerted someone. The reasoning is partly good Samaritan, partly sycophant; but I wish this 'pay it forward' applied to everyone.

That was the one thing the other outspoken mods never did, Tim, Lou, myself would get into some pretty heavy flaming vs some members, but we never smacked them for the flame war we were involved in, and we didnt "make up" for them with heavier than necessary smacks elsewhere either. as for the OBO thing.. that was never an issue, unless it was glaringly overpriced to induce a bid war. and if we saw the stream of bids, that was when we'd close the post. I dont see how a 650 call on a lotus, obo is actually abusive to the rules, but then again, I'm no longer mod.. so meh. © __________________

He wasn't on a power trip, he was just high all the time from doing drugs and wanted to see how many people he could pick off in a day. He protected his friends and crapped on anyone that ever rubbed him the wrong way, even once. One time he im'ed me and told me to get on skype to talk to him...I said "no I'm doing homework for college"....so he goes into a cars thread we use to have and smacked me for saying "I'd never buy a Honda I think they are junk, and give other Japanese cars a bad name. I'd never buy that crappy Japanese car." apparently "crappy Japanese car" is a racial slur by his standard that day....I'm sorry...was I suppose to say I'd never buy that crappy Japanese car that's manufactured in Ohio? Or was I suppose to lie and say that Honda's are European cars? *BTW I now work for a Honda/Acura dealership...and yeah I'd never reccommend buying one.* I just found it funny that a car, thats Japanese, that I felt is crap, and would never buy, makes me racist on that particular day where I told him to get lost bc I was doing homework..... I'm sure there are MANY stories on the man we all called...Han, but sadly noone cares about him anymore.
EDIT:for the record I support toyota and mitsubishi

I can understand that cash auctions wouldn't be beneficial for this site but any hint for possible negotiations would make it a cash auction as well.
