I disagree with this. I recently sold a Spiderman Black and announced selling it but did not put a price (post was elsewhere). I did not do this because I wanted someone clueless to value or anything like that. I did it because I was letting it go VERY cheap and I didn't want an inbox full of tire kickers. It worked perfectly...I got 3 e-mails and the game sold to the first person that e-mailed and committed. I sold the Spidey Black for 6500.00 and I was original owner with receipt. Had I put that in the original FS ad, I'd have been pounded with tire kickers and also had to deal with multiple e-mails. If someone is REALLY interested in buying the game, they'll PM and ask the price. If not interested, they'll reply to a post and chastise the seller for not putting the price
Quoted from Pinfidel:I love for sale threads. I love reading what people have to say and how they give their thoughts on what a machine is worth etc. I also talked to Robin because I was worried that they were going to stop FS threads because of all the bickering that seems to take place within them. I said that cracks me up and in some ways is the best part of the thread, PLEASE don't eliminate them. LOL
He said they have no plans to eliminate sale threads, but they want to make sure that a thread stays always respectful and mostly on topic. Can't blame them there. Totally understandable and I think we would all agree. TY Robin!
That all said, I'd like to respectfully say that I think that a site change should be implemented that states... If you want to run a for sale thread, more power to you and best of luck. But you MUST post a price. If you can't post a price, then start a for sale "AD" in the "Market Place" section. The ONLY exception to this rule should be for a legitimate distributor since they are not allowed to publically post prices.
Now, sometimes there are people that honestly don't know what they should ask for a machine. So, a FS thread that is started that asks for price advice is fine. After a couple days when the seller has a good idea of a machines worth, then he can (and must) edit in a price to his first post.
These threads with no price or set up auction style ala EBay are a pain in the ... and shouldn't be allowed IMHO.
