Make price posting mandatory, if people wanna negotiate after so be it. but it will curtail lowballing and mindless negotiations with people who are just "interested"

 

then you can post prices when you sell something adn let others do business how they want

 

i do post prices. I am speaking from a buyers point of view.

 

welll i still think that it should be the persons(sellers) choice, its him that is selling the product and can do what he wants.

 

its cool I got theidea from a couple of other forums I frequent pbnation.com and the H.A.M.B. classic car site. It is easier that way in my opinion b/c you read a post and if the price is right there, it eliminates the
"how much"
"make an offer"
"what do you want for it?"
"make an offer"
"give me a price"
"ok hows about XXX.XX"
"thats to low how about YYY.YY"
"What about zzz.zz"
"Stop Lowballing," .........crap

 

We can't really enforce how sellers want to do their transaction. If there was a mandatory price you'd see a lot of "$xxx OBO" type posts which would still leave the negotiation.
