I do agree people don't put enough information in their adverts, But this guy is taking it to another level

My favourite is “pm me for price” which roughly translates to “it’s about 3k too much but I’m hoping I can get a sucker without other folk letting them know it’s overpriced”

Thats as bad as POA, get this a lot on truck adverts, its just to get you on the phone in an attempt to mug you off . I don't bother unless the price is advertised.

I find that rather annoying it makes it difficult to judge the market and tell what you should be expecting to pay for equipment in a certain condition/age range.Thats as bad as POA, get this a lot on truck adverts, its just to get you on the phone in an attempt to mug you off . I don't bother unless the price is advertised.

That's amazing. And depressing.
There's a guy on a vehicle-related facebook group I'm on (I won't mention it by name as there's some crossover here
) who keeps posting pics of his vehicle that is plastered in martial arts decals. Each time he puts it up he says "NO OFFERS! I KNOW WHAT IT'S WORTH!".And, of course, he puts it up again a few weeks later at the same price, with same statement. And again a few weeks later. etc. etc.
I did suggest he remove the decals and it might be easier to sell

Facebook is the second problem, in that it gives people like that a wider audience than their usual 6 fingered associates. The inbreds are problem number one.

There's a local guy trying to sell two old Lincoln invertec DC TIG sets, for double their worth... his reasoning is because the much more pricey AC/DC sets are still sold brand new for £3k+.... needless to say, he's had these TIG sets, literally, for years!That's amazing. And depressing.

Some folk just don't understand value...
