Can we start banning people who argue with the seller on price? It is extremely agitating to have to read post after post of people who don’t like the price on something. My suggestion is this, if you don’t think the price is fair. Pm the seller and explain why you don’t think it is worth the price. It is extremely hard to sell something when you have all these internet tire kickers and pud pullers saying the price is too high. If you think its too high then dont buy it! keep it to pm’s people! ---

Word. Howie saw this as a problem and put this as rule 1) Do not make strong opinionated comments towards somebody’s for sale item. If the product is obviously a piece of crap, or you have had a bad experience before or something along those lines, you can politely let the seller/buyer know. This seems too lax if you look at my thread. ---

or how about just simply shut the fuck up about the price unless you are an seriously interested buyer. its bullshit that so many people are so opinionated, yet never buy anything. A lowball is one thing, but 10 people saying that prices are too high is just bullshit, if u dont like it gtfo. ---

since I cant edit, theres not even any reason why you should pm someone and say “your price is too high” the seller will figure that out on his/her own when their item doesn’t sell, and they will be forced to lower the price. ---

While were at it. Let’s ban anyone that posts something without prices or a ballpark of what they want. And if I’m elected president, I’ll ban anyone that doesn’t put pics up of the item too. lol ---

I dont think just a lowball is so bad. Its when the lowballer starts going on about the price and bashing the seller for what they are asking. Then other people interested have to sift through the BS and has potential to ward off the potential real buyers. ---

I will comment and say that I’m up in the air on comments like: “dude isn’t this the car you rammed into a tree at 65mp?” Because of course the seller could have and is hiding it ( helps the buyers ) or maybe the comment was made by a jerk off just trying to ruin the sale. I don’t mind however, when people post things like: “KBB says this” or “you can buy this, here, for so much lower” ---

The problem is that this is a forum and you pretty much open yourself up to everyones comments. Everyone bitches about free speech on here but then don’t like it when it goes against them. Maybe we could just have a for sale listing without any posting.(?) It is pretty pathetic when you have to force courtesy on people though. ---
