I just clicked on the first 15 or so "for sale" threads in the most popular BST section (pre-war), and the great majority did have asking prices.
It could just be a case of negativity bias, where the "make an offer" for sale BST threads are not really that common, but when Phil and others come across them it strikes a nerve so they remember it, and they appear more frequent then they actually are.
Just a theory.
It also seems that the majority of the priceless BST threads are for very rare or very big money cards, or a combo of the 2 (such as a T206 Plank), where the comps are infrequent so the seller simply does not want to price it too low and would rather field offers.
