Poll: should "Cars for Sale" ads include the price?

I posted this ad in the "Cars for sale" forum;

But instead of keeping you guessing about the price, I'm withholding information about the cars make, model, and condition. If I don't get any takers, I'm putting this baby on EBay.

$32,500. Firm. No tire kickers, no low ballers.

I'm getting a lot of PM's. Some are offering trades, one called me a tool. (I'm deeply hurt, by the way)

Well?

I hate it when people don't post a price.

But then I hate the whole haggling thing anyway.

That is why I like buying on the Internet... do a search... find the best price... do a search on the seller... if they are legit... done! Everyone is happy.

Yes

Cool. Are you serious? If it's what I think it is, I wish I had 32.5 to spare.

We only get to vote for one option?

Morons that can't read the rules are a universal plight from which all forums suffer.
Pelican admins are surprisingly tolerant of these people. Many forums will just delete your post or ban you without warning.

I'll buy it. What is it?






And, yes. If there's no price, somebody is just showing off, and not serious about selling.

The price needs to be included. Drives me nuts to see an ad without on and I won't even bother to call or pursue it.

When I see a car for sale with no price I automatically know it is over priced and the guy is embarrassed. I never call on them. But then I don't change cars very often.

I wanna change my vote.
Trolls suck, even when they are trying to make a point.
If you think others are tools, why stoop to their level?
Trying to get even only means you are as bad as they are.

[masraum]

When people don't post a price, I don't try to buy.

I think your post is funny though.

End of thread. I've never seen a car advertised without a price worth pursuing.

[BeyGon]

and when they don't post a price they also don't post a location, makes it even worse.

no kidding, I picked the D bag thing before I saw the tool one

we need an app to break it down a little more, you know, in this case I make it 90:10, perhaps it could have it alter the color of the bar graph a bit.

Jeezus, Sammy. You must $hit diamonds.

I'd understand not listing a price when the value is in the seven or eight figures range. For an ordinary car like a Porsche, I first look at location, then price, if both of those aren't listed, I'm moving on.

Why couldn't we choose "douche nozzle?" I love that term. You suck.
BTW, I hate it when people do not include their price. They're douche nozzles.

From the sticky at the top of the Porsches For Sale section:

effective 1/5/2010:

all for sale items must have an asking price and seller's location listed.

I saw that post. At first I though WTF....then it clicked. Ended up laughing out loud at work. The guys in the office looked at me like I was nuts...........maybe I am.......a little (I do seem to have this knack for finicky cars).
