For Sale Rules

I personally very seldom answer an ad for car parts, cars, household items, etc. unless a price or best offer is listed. But each to their own. But an auction section sounds like it might be a good idea. May help with the cost of running this forum.

Personally, I'd like to see us have an auction section............. the software could be paid for by having say a 1% or small flat rate of a buck or something teensy (it would be just to support the software and required database, not turn into an ebait!)

Like I just told him - those sellers, by being cryptic jerks in their posts, are doing you a favor.... they have already sorted the chaff from the grain. Don't deal with them as they have by hiding their prices, told you up front what sorts of folks they are.................
Honest folks post a price with their parts and don't play games. So, if you look through the sale section here and see no prices, and they won't deal with you in the sale thread, but insist on emailing for prices, etc. - simply ignore their ads - avoid them.
That way, the market sorts it out and they sell nothing.
If they have no more courtesy and respect than that, do you REALLY want to trust a deal with them anyway???

OTOH, there's sometimes a reason they don't post a price, and that is the tendency for our members to do the pile-on routine... "are you a freaking idiot? No way those are worth that!"
So in some cases, I don't blame them - and frankly, any such posts need to be deleted as that's BS coming in and trashing a person's sale ad price. IF you don't like their price, DO NOT BUY, but stay the @!#%$ out of their business!
So you need to keep in mind, sometimes the reason a seller won't post the price is because of how forum members treat them........... bashing their wares and prices.

An item, ANY item, is worth what the seller and buyer agree it's worth. And if they sell for that crazy high price - then who was the crazy one? Certainly not the seller! And you don't HAVE to pay their price. It's their item - this IS America, they can charge whatever they want, no matter what I think of their price, it's their item to sell, and the buyer's money to spend.
So others should keep out of it.

I totally agree with Bowtie. It just makes sense. Who has time for game playing BS these days. I know I sure as hell don't. Put up the price or get off the crapper!!!!!
