Why do people post things for sale...Without a price?
And these aren't even "Make Offer" posts.

I don't know why they do but it's against the rules of the forum. My guess is they want too much money for their used gear and are embarassed to post a price. I don't bother with those types of posts, I say either post a price or get lost, I don't have time to waste on guessing games.

I know what you mean. It is annoying, but it doesn't help the seller any either so...

Think some feel they might make a mistake and be asking to low of price, and maybe feel someone might offer them more then what they thought it was worth themselves.
Very rare that someone would offer more then what the sellers thinks it is worth though.

I think it stinks and usually pass right over the post without even bothering to ask what they want! It's like going to the hobby store and having to ask how much every item is because there are no price tags.......I would walk out and never look back! On all the message boards I see this most on this one.

pricing
sometimes i dont put prices because i honestly dont know what i can ask for when i post an item. for example, i posted something hoping to get a certain amount for it, never put the price and the person who eventually *ahem* AWOLSOLIDER* bought it actually matched the price i was thinking my prices are always negotiable anyways.
so why is it you can put in your two cents worth... but its a penny for your thoughts? im getting ripped off here!

We all know that cudas and ko radios demand a decent price, quality definately has a resale advantage.

So basically you are asking people to audition for a price?

What get's me is ...
... when you point out that the thread rules say 'state a price' or 'best offer' ... and then the seller gets mad!
IMHO, people should always post a price. If it is too high, no one will buy it. If the price is low, it will be gone in a flash. There is nothing wrong with changing the price as time goes on. If no one buys it, lower the price or try to sell it elsewhere. That is how capitalism works.

Normally I wouldn't complain, but so many people seem to be doing this lately. Oh and something else I had noticed, people selling many items here....good, people selling many items here with a post for each item.....BAD! Please folks combine your sales posts, it's not THAT hard.

Just my thoughts
I think some people post their items without a price is probably without the intention to sell the items, only want people to offer them a price. If somebody offer them a higher price than they will feel happy about it. But the problem is when someone offer them a lower price, they wll feel so unhappy and start to condem the person who post the price. I think most sellers know how much they want for the things that they are selling, the only problem is if they post too high a price they are afraid that no one will respond. If the seller is really keen in selling the item, after the initial posting, can always reduce the price for those interested to consider.

You said it Sty. I mean seriously, people aren't even going to bother you if you don't have a price. At least if you have a price, no matter how high it may be, people will usually make offers and try and work with you. I'm not saying people should low ball or anything, but I think you know what i mean . And you can always bump it with a lower price if no one is interested.
