They do it to make other people start threads about it!

I don't see the problem with removing price, with some researching (which you should always do before buying), you can usually find the price easily of things that are sold.
Then again, I never bother with removing prices myself.
Life's too short to worry or waste time over little things like this.

if the prices are removed, how can i easily find the price?
personally i don't mind if prices are removed or not since I don't buy or sell gear here. I always enjoy the threads complaining about it though. its like clockwork how regularly they appear.

There's usually threads on the more popular/common headphones where they state reasonable prices, and you can check out the prices during the sale before it is finished.
Personally I check the for sale boards pretty often, even if I'm not buying, as I find it fairly interesting to look what people put up, what prices they are asking, why they are selling, pictures, etc.
I don't think I'm alone in this, so most people that frequent the FS boards usually have a good idea of what head-fi gear costs, especially the things you are interested in.
If that fails, you can always ask someone helpful for a guiding hand, or look at the current street price, and reduce X percent based on condition.

Why in the world are you starting at 2? Real programmers use int i=0. YOU need to get with the times
