You know, not the words, but certain pics or icons. People dont read much anymore. They skim.

stolen from BMB.

That's a good idea. I might use something like that in my auctions. It seems sellers in the past couple of years, or atleast 50%, have decided that they no longer care how they treat the buyers cards. The lack of respect for what more or less is someone else's property is mind boggling. I even temporarily slipped into that same mind set when I sold a card on Naxcom and like the other uncaring sent it in a pwe. Frankly, I felt bad after I did it and contacted the buyer asking them questions about why they purchased that card. Come to find out the guy was a Carolina Panthers fan so I packaged, properly, two Panthers inserts that I'd owned for over ten years and sent them to him. I apologized for the lack of packaging and told them to enjoy the free cards. I actually lost money on the deal but I felt good about it.

I agree. I would have a hard time sleeping at night knowing that I sent something out that might get damaged because of my lack of packing well. I'd rather spend extra to make sure. When I receive something in a white envelope and there is a refund, I always send it back. Sometimes it hurts to do so. But I'm not paying $5 in shipping for crappy shipping.

I started laughing when I clicked on the properties of that SASE pic.
It's a NoWhites.jpg

Was trying to see if I can twik it and make a No Idiot or No Zero Feedback bidder thing.

On some of my low brow auctions aka 1st gulf war ace of spades and Jedi Jane from BB7 I charge a dollar shipping and use sleeve- toploader- team bag and send in a PWE. I have never had a problem at all doing it this way and since the buyers for these type cards usually don't collect otherwise I find the PWE method fine. Of course, I have a quanity of these cards so if one got lost I'd just send another. If someone wants a bubblemailer that is fine but the shipping goes 3 bucks cause I gotta go into the post office which sucks. Mike P.S. What makes me mad is sellers who put tape on toploaders- Jeez, buy some team bags!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah thats totally great. I wish sometimes I could find $1 ship on some low end (like some .25 cards I buy) On those I expect PWE. Its those $3-4 PWE that get ya riled.

I just stole it and added to my auctions.
I've seen another variation of this with NO SASE accepted.

I want one that says "No Whites" cause I don't want none of you krackas biddin on my cards. I also only ship in plain black envelopes. Just my way of stickin it to the man.
