That's BS Lex! I'll bet if you take the last 50 "FS" ads posted here, 47 of
them will have an asking price. When one doesn't post a price, or, when
contacted off-list doesn't give the price or even the ballpark, it seems to
me like the seller is trying to pit all of us aginst each other and create a
free auction. The only reason NOT to state a price of a $4000 item is the
hope that some dope will offer $6000. Whether it's a lens, a body, or your
car for that matter, if you put it up for sale, you know darn well you have a
price in mind that you'd like to get for it. It doesn't hurt to throw that
figure out to the potential buyer. That's my $.02 YMMV.
