Scott,
I think that alot of people are afraid that they may shoot themselves in the foot with an asking price (seller's remorse, after the second caller says I'd have offered $$$ more than you took).
Otherwise, there are alot of people testing the water or trying to get the maximum the market will allow.
I agree with you though, it is frustrating. You don't want to insult someone if you offer them a $$$ they consider to be outrageously low, but they don't give you many options if you're interested in what they're selling.

[/ QUOTE ] You bring up all good points. Personally I would never sell anything without setting a Price. Due to the simple fact that most people will not be bothered with playing that silly Game. as for Seller's Remorse, it Happens. My neigbor just sold a Honda his wife had since it was new. it is 7 Years old, He maintained it perfectly and it had 90,000 miles on it. He put it up for Sale at $4500.00 Dollars. the Car sold in 3 Days. Before he put it up for Sale He was hoping to get that much. when it sold so quickly, Now he thinks he underpriced it!! Some people are never happy. what he failed to realize is that demand for Fuel efficient Cars has risen and he probably could have commanded more. But He got what he initially wanted. and as far as the guy who calls after the sale saying how much more he would have paid, "Tough S%^T!" He is sour that he did not catch the ad first. He might Have showed up and been a Chiseler or a Tire Kicker more than likely with that Comment. Right now, I have a Car for Sale. It is advertised with a Price. In my Head I now what will make me Happy. If I get more than that number, I consider it a Bonus. If a Buyer Guesses that Number, then I am Happy and he gets a Bonus! The Key thing to remember as a Buyer or Seller, is to Relax a little. Don't be too anxious. The right Deal will Come along usually when you least expect it. So Be ready when it does
