and true in some cases. If you don't know what to charge, you can always take offers. Personally, I would not be one to make an offer even if I wanted the items. For your point, it might be a good situation for that person to get a buddy who can help them out in pricing.

There's also the side of the offer concept that can put people off. Making an offer can be awkward when a person doesn't want to insult the other person with a low offer. Most of use are looking for a good deal and are willing to hop on one when they come up. But an offer situation makes us feel like its an auction.

There are many different reasons that a person might do this. Many times in the past I have emailed the person, and they have had an exact amount in mind.

Many times, it's just a simple case of the selling person not realizing it has an impact. There very well may be no malice or dark side of not putting a price. I'm thinking many people do it thinking they will get more people inquiring.

Quite often I've seen people selling a current $1.00 chip or a current $5.00 house chip. Let just say the chips are in mint condition. We would all have an expectation on what those chips should sell for and what a reasonable shipping charge should be. In the past I had responded to an offer for a new release of a current $1.00. No price stated in the post. It turned out they wanted $3.50 for the chip and 2.50 for shipping. Of course I passed. I have also replied in the past for some current roulette chips. The price turned out to be 5.00 per chip plus shipping charges. When I stated to them that the price was more then I wanted to pay for current chips, the person stated it cost them over $200.00 at the roulette table to get those chips.

Now don;t get me wrong. I feel a person has all the right in the world to sell their chips or widgets for whatever they like. My point is just that I don't usually respond to those posts that don't list the amount they are selling them for.
