I couldn't agree more. If you are trying to sell something, it should be described properly, price listed and a photo attached if possible. That way it's fair to both buyer and seller.

Exactly. "Make me an offer" is just so incredibly stupid and infuriating for the prospective buyer. What I mean is, how the bloody hell is the buyer supposed to know what to "offer" to the seller, when the seller is the one who paid for the equipment in the first place and thus should know what he/she wants for it. Sometimes one has to ask for the price 10 bloody times before the seller FINALLY manages to get to the freaking point.....

This is equivalent to the dreaded "call for price" crap that some companies use. Really, Really bad way to market yourself and creates nothing but frustration.

People who post "make me an offer" are simply just wasting peoples time. Certainly one of my pet hates, and it should be made compulsory to give a clear indication of price in IIS classifieds.

Chris,

I'm a sweet man, apparently.

Want to make an offer? I'll post a pic later.

H,

I know what your mug looks like, I was offering for the bag of chips...and wanted Davros to post a pic of them...(humour, its what I attempt to do)

I will only make you an offer if you can assure me that you are one owner, in pristine condition, have your original box and will ship at your own expense (insured of course). I will add the external scratches later, if you know what I mean.......oooooohaaaaaaaah!, sounds a bit camp sweetie!

Love you, you big hunk of a man.... I suspect the Horsehead is a thinly veiled indication of your assets??????? Enquiring minds want to know.....

Cheers

Chris
