Hi,
I go by HockeyBrawler on sport card forums and I have had a decent experience with them. The only thing is it always takes too long for me to recieve my cards when buying or trading with someone else on the forums so beware that it is at your own risk take care of matters on your own. I will not be trading with anyone unless we become good friends online because I have my own ebay account you can buy from legaly and fair follow this link eBay Seller: adamtranski: Sports Mem, Cards Fan Shop, Coins Paper Money items on eBay.com (http://shop.ebay.com/adamtranski/m.html?) to see my current auctions. Well that's a little about why I'm here so have a nice day!

Buy/Sell/Trade aka B/S/T Rules and Guidelines

Be careful when doing any transaction online! Blowout Cards is not responsible for any failed transactions. However, we have these rules in place to help protect our members whether they are buying, selling or trading. Use caution and Report any suspicious activity to us right away!

Check Buyer/Seller feedback. We have the iTrader feature so that you can view a member's b/s/t history here on our forums. Also, if the user has their ebay id posted, please check their feedback there as well.

Use Tracking or Delivery Confirmation. When sending items to another member, please use tracking or delivery confirmation so that there is some proof of delivery (if you know a member very well or if the card is not worth very much, you can ship w/o tracking at your own risk).

Use paypal whenever possible (Do Not send payment as a gift!). It's convenient and safe for buyers, especially if you are buying from someone new or with someone you don't know. If you send payment as a gift, you will not be able to file a claim if the shipment does not arrive.

Include a price in your thread (Buying or Selling). If you're buying or selling, please POST A PRICE! Pictures are always helpful too. We want to avoid situations where things are misleading or not clear...we want all b/s/t threads to be as clear and concise as possible. If you want to run an auction, please list on ebay.

Post a Clear and Informative Subject - Try and use the following format so that your thread title is more informative; this way someone will know by reading your title/subject if they are interested and don't have to waste their time checking every thread that says "L@@K HERE! Wow!" Start your post with the following codes in the Title to verify what your b/s/t thread is about. If it is something general and the codes don't apply, just be sure to enter a good description in the subject and in your post weither it be for singles, parallels, inserts, or sets.

FS: For Sale
WTB: Want to Buy
FT: For Trade Only

Examples of a good title:
FS: 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle Rookie Card. Excellent condition.
WTB: 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan Rookie Card graded PSA 9 or better.

Keep your thread updated. If your item sells, go back and edit your first post with ** SOLD ** at the top. This way people don't waste time viewing it if it's not available anymore. If it's a want list, update the first post instead of posting updated lists...this way others won't have to read the entire thread and start a spreadsheet to figure out which cards you still need.

Keep the clutter to a minimum. If you multiple items for sale, try to keep it to a minimum of threads. Excessive threads will be deleted or merged.

No wax sales please. This includes packs, boxes, and cases. Also sales of Blowout Cards Gift Certificates are not allowed.

No Blowout Gift Certificate or Gift code sales. Please no selling of Blowout Cards gift certificates and/or credit.

No COMMERCIAL posting allowed. - The B/S/T Forums are for Blowout Cards members and collectors to trade and sell among each other. All commercial posts will be deleted.

New User Restriction - To protect our members from quick buck scammers, we may ask new users who are selling to post some sort of reference such as ebay feedback.

No Raffles - No Raffles or any other similar postings. Only straight up buying, selling, trading.

Bumping - Please do not bump your threads excessively. If there is interest, your post will be read...remember to post a subject that is clear and informative and not just "LOOK HERE! WOW!". DO NOT bump your thread to the top unless it has been idle for more than 24 hours.

I'd love to hear this as well. There really arent many rules. We're not holding anyones hand on trades. We're not subjected "newbies" to unfair rules, and at the same time we're trying not to over leverage/power the established members so that they have an unfair advantage in any trades/sales. As far as I'm concerned everyone here is a grownup and can complete their own trades under their own rules. If you've got a problem with a member work it out with them on a trade, if you can't get ahold of a moderator or post on the forums and see what others have to say.
