I put prices on the stuff I want to sell. I do this because I'm already determined to sell it and that price is what I need for it. If I am just fishing or not quite ready to sell, I try to not put it out there just yet. That's me and I totally understand what T206collector is saying so its not really a black and white subject The great thing about this site is the fact that if you don't like it you can just move on to the next thread. I am certainly not going to question someone's price publicly, but I will exercise the principles of free market and not purchase the item.

I can't think of any other open market, or place of business that advertises (yes..by posting in a B/S/T forum, you are advertising) new or used products for sale, yet intentionally chooses to not openly display a price on said goods for sale. There are a few here, who have given reasons as to why they wouldn't post a price, and I appreciate the input. When it all boils down, there are only two "legitimate" reasons, why someone would seek out a For Sale forum, and post something for sale...and then NOT post a price. For the most part, any and all reasons can fit into one of these two categories below...
1. Seller doesn't know what their item is worth. An uneducated seller. Maybe they're new to the hobby, or maybe they don't eat, sleep, and breath current market trends. This is understandable, as if you really aren't informed on what somethings worth it would make sense to offer something up as "make offer." 2. Seller is being dishonest. Such a harsh word really, but still an accurate description. As a seller, you know exactly how much you have invested in a card. Whether that be from an emotional standpoint..or a monetary value..you know exactly what the card is worth to you. Therefore you also know EXACTLY what it would take for you to say yes...to selling the card. By not posting a price, you are only "fishing" for someone to pay you even more than what that "yes" threshold is. There isn't any other possible explanation, and any attempts of explaining otherwise would be seen by most as a lie. There is no judgement being passed unto you, but this is what you are, and who you are. So with that said, those of us who post in the B/S/T forums, and choose not to post a price, that is fine...as we have many times discussed that it is the sellers prerogative to post however they so choose. But, I would ask you which of the two categories above do you fit in? The first or second? I'm not one to dictate what category most of the sellers fit into, but I personally find it hard to believe that someone purchasing/selling $200+ or especially $2,000-$5,000 baseball cards is doing so, without having alot of knowledge of the hobby/current market trends. .

I'm glad I'm on his ignore list. Dude was a grade A, #1 jerk in my only dealing with him. The feeling is definitely mutual.
