One guy even banned me from his listings in response. It's not pleasant to have those kinds of interactions so it makes sense that some steer clear of "no asking price" listings if they don't know the seller.
I went to a small local show about 25 years ago. A guy had a few 1970 Topps Supers all marked $1 or $2. I grabbed them all, including some I had, figuring they would be trade bait, total was $6, said "will you take $5", the seller got all upset. I said fine and pulled out $2 to pay for the two cards I neeed. He refused to sell them to me. Fortunately, that has been an outlier as most sellers are ok with an offer
