Trend

99% of them don't know excactly why they do this. Include me also

But some people do this knowingly specially for LTD products as I did with A900LTD due to their unstable prices and they touch the sky sometimes while comes down to below the level of sea sometimes just by a single related thread or review.

My all other sold products are still showing value I think.

It's my openion.

Oops... This forum is not for discussion BTW.

I would normally keep the prices in place (I used to follow the trend initially though). Many of my sales were through PMs - re. WTB ads - however so there were no opportunities to display the selling price.

Trend, and I also noticed that if I didn't do it, I'd get PM's for stuff I'd sold ages ago, and it had sold in the message, but somehow they only saw the price. Probably because the market value flucuated greatly, who knows?

I'd assume that the seller doesn't want people to know how much the item was sold for. For his or the buyers benefit, I don't know.

Or when the item gets resold down the road, people can't say "Oh, you bought it for THIS price and now you're selling it for more" or whatever.

Seconded... This is the main problem with LTD editions IMO.

oh my gd, not this again.

Before everyone just repeats the same things that have been said over and over and over again, please stop. Go and read one of the other 135 locked threads on this. No one is saying anything new, and nothing is going to change.

What he means is use the search function.

There are about 50 threads locked discussing the same thing. If you want to know the price of an item, pm the seller, at this point in time I really personally wish prices weren't removed, but a thread discussing it will just get locked most likely like all the other ones have been locked.

And what he really means is that a thread like this will get LOCKED eventually. It seems to us that a thread asking why people remove prices after sale deserves it's own place in the forum "Don't do" guidelines.
