    A posted price or not, someone, somewhere is going to contact them, that's why they will never change...oh well...I have no time to be calling/texting/pm-ing in regards to finding out a price......so them lose my business too

    Seems I am a really bad mod and my ethics are dumb for telling people to post a price. Anybody want my role?

    If they don't have the sense to see reason then don't even argue with them, just go on about your business.
    If they can't read (the rules) then I don't think they should be allowed to post anything FS either.
    If they want an Ebay styled system, go on Ebay.
    If you get it crisis make sure you go thru classifieds with a fine toothed comb

    this is getting retarded now! if someone wants to post without stating the price ...WHY SHOULD YOU CARE if you're not buying from them. personally i believe one should state a price to bring a sense of transparency to the post but since it's not mandatory then who are we to say otherwise. and if it become a requirement then guess what! people have a right to post elsewhere. every hoe have dem stick a bush...what doesn't concern you leave it alone.

    Mandatorily so. They'll always have choice to post elsewhere however, for a easier perusal experience here, it is forcefully suggested that they post a price.
    No big deal. How would you feel walking into a 2nd hand store and for everything you're interested in you have to offer for it or ask the price?
    Not even the Flea Market.

    Yes, it is.

    To be fair, none of the members here in this thread made any ruckus about persons not posting a price. They did exactly as you said and moved along. I started this thread and they offered their opinion (some agree, some disagree).

    As a member of this site, it does waste some of my time to look at a classified posting and seeing it not have a price and move on. But everyone has their own expectations on what they want to see out of a classified posting. Some want pictures to be mandatory as well.

    As a moderator of this site, I can do something about it.

    at the end of the day as long as the regulations governing the site are upheld then as you said ..we just move on. Amen to that.

    my last 2 postings or so I did not bother to post a picture, just couldnt bother running the circles of snapping uploading linking. I believe myself an honest seller, and a few people here can vouch for me on that, if I say the item is in excellent condition it is, and I will never list an item without telling its problems if it has any. I often get the "you're giving it away" comments because even tho I sell stuff in the best condition I'm still listing at less-than-the-others prices just to get the item sold quickly, even tho I still get negotiated down.
    but of course I can only speak for myself and the scammers out there are plenty. I dont like seeing a listing without a picture either, and the more the better, but the ones I post without pics I just figured it wasn't necessary.

    What I always try to do tho is list every possible thing a potential buyer might want to know, like for a phone I list everything that comes with it, in a box or not, what size SD Card and the works, yet I still get called and asked the very questions, answers for which I explicitly stated. Makes me wonder sometimes if it was worth the effort.
