Quoted from chuckwurt:Why are people so weird about posting sale prices? I get you don't have to, but who cares? It can only help others who are trying to price games and find out what stuff is going for currently.
I think once it sells it is the buyers option to share and out of respect for the buyer, most sellers don't post publicly what it sold for. If a seller does not care, then i have no problem sharing.
I have found that in a small community of collectors, some people will try to use it against you later/for their favor if they know what you bought a pin for. Heck some people in this thread have tried to buy games from me before and will say to me "I know you bought it for XXXX, so I will offer you XXXX" even though they could be completely wrong on what I originally paid for it and that has zero bearing on what the market may currently be or what work I have put into it to make it nicer.
In other words, sharing prices can have ramifications that are unwanted.
