OK, I know I'm new here, but something has been bugging me.
I understand that there is a rule where if you advertise something for sale in the classifieds, you have to name a price?
We all know that "he who mentions price first loses." At the least, if you ask for offers, you might get offered more than you would have asked?
I see a bunch of guys advertising something for trade, and saying what they will trade for. They mention no price.
Next, they say something like "I really don't want to sell this, but you can always PM me an offer."
I fail to see the difference between that and advertising it for sale with no price.
I will say this. I will never PM such a person an offer. Name a price or forget it, imho.
