    Forcing a seller to list a price matters to me. I like the old fashioned school of bargaining, its fun.
    If a potential buyer doesn't want it ... pass on by, who cares, I don't think you're hurting anyone's feelings.
    Generally back in the day, book sellers used to have integrity, really !! However now, book business is about 98% bullshit, deception and outright lies.... Including many of our very own DT.orger's, (y'all know who you are) But unfortunately there's no way to fix that.
    Ebay (in the beginning) was fun, now it sucks, I avoid buying there when possible. Same with Paypal, it sucks, but not much choice if you want to buy or sell on eBay.
    One of the many reasons I joined DT.org was for change from the norm (eBay & such), another avenue, it's a nice place to visit. And... I found an amazing family of obsessive compulsive geeks just like me.
    Adding more rules because somebody else whines about the current norm makes zeroooo sense.
    I seem to remember one of the biggest complaints about another similar site was rules and policeing.
    ... just a few thoughts.

    Well, the "poll" would seem to have spoken. With 17 for "Yes", 27 for "No, but it's a good idea" and only 4 for "No", I think the sellers should take heed and market accordingly with no need for an actual "rule". Seems to me the membership has made itself pretty clear on the matter.

    This thread was a good idea!

    Thanks for the input. >60% say no, or no but prices would be nice. One less rule to make and enforce. I'll archive this thread tomorrow.

    Don't archive it! The YESs are creeping up on the MAYBEs! Slowly but surely we will prevail!

    OK. It will rise or fall on its own.
