Putting Price in Classifieds
 

Can OSO post a notice in the section where you start a classified add that says "IT PISSES OSO MEMBERS OFF IF YOU DO NOT INCLUDE A PRICE IN YOUR AD, IF YOU DO NOT INCLUDE A PRICE, AND DO NOT GET CALLS, CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED"....

I am looking at boats now, looking to buy in reasonably short order, and I for one am not even about to click on an ad with no price cause I know right away if I call I am going to rotten azzed used car salesman who decided he could make a truck load of money selling boat trying all the nickel azzed negotiation games.

Am I just off my rocker, or does everyone else look at this with the same disdain I do???

Let us know when you start your own website, then you can make the rules.

There is such a rule on donzi.net

I'm with you, Dean. I hate it when there is no price in a classified. I usually ignore those and move on.
I have much more lengthy posts on this matter here, didn't feel like retyping it all:

Amen.. when ever I see that I just assume I dont want to know the price cause it's too high... :eek:

And how about pricing it right so it actually moves... :rolleyes:

Yeah, I should point out I don't look at them either if there is no price.

It is annoying, but by not putting the phone number it will make some people curious and they will call.

If and i stress IF the shopper/potential buyer is educated enuff then he should know the price range anyway. just my .02

Re: Putting Price in Classifieds
 

I never even consider an ad if there is no price I got better things to do than play phone tag just to find out some body's crazy. :cool:

I agree with you 100%. It's just that some sellers think they have a pot of gold and some buyers whan something for nothing.

I always post a price and it's pretty darn close to what I'll let it go for. Time is $$
