Don't quite understand why many people do this... it makes it really hard to make an informed decision in buying as well as selling stuff.

I fail to see any benefit to it.

There's already been a lengthy discussion of this topic. Search for it.

PS It annoys me too.

I don't like it either. If they're all gone with the price taken out, it's hard to find what they were going for.

because I want to

Is it that time again already?

I do it to piss off the man and his oppressive ways.

 

[vcoheda]

it is rather annoying and yes this has been discussed many, many times.

I guess I should have searched, but nothing beats quickly posting your frustration BAM! and let it out of your system quick.

PS> if you're one of those ppl who remove prices, I hope my behaviour of posting without searching annoys you too.

There are a few threads about this topic already, but long answer short, the price is an agreement strictly between the seller and the buyer, at the moment of the sale. After the transaction is completed that price means absolutely nothing for the rest of the mortals, and most of the times the final price is not even close to the one listed, as the seller and the buyer agree on different terms, and people do it for privacy purposes...

Also keep in mind that the price of a used item, is a function of a lot of aspects of the market, and many of them could change from one day to the next...Availability, physical condition, desire of the buyer to have it, confidence on the seller, etc...

I paid for my CD3K while they were available around $350.00, right now the price for any used in good condition is about two times as much, so if I would going to take a look at any sale to form an opinion, I could not be more wrong...

To stop this practice, when you post in a for sale thread on an item that you are interested in buying, quote the original post. If enough people did this, the problem would go away.
