why they remove the price after an item is sold ?

[Tin Can]

Duh

I have bought and sold all over the world except AF\Frica, AustralIA

You do realise that this is an international forum, don’t you?

[Tin Can]

eXACTLY

Maybe because if your not the seller or buyer it is none of your business.

bizarre point of view, we're on an internet forum accessible to anyone, not exactly what you would call private sphere.
also, it is everyone's business until the ad is active and then it becomes a violation of privacy?

[Tin Can]

You may strart

We want pictures too, dates, condition

WHY DID YOU SELL?

I don't understand why many people change their listing once the item is sold and delete the price.
I mean, I used to look at the prices of things sold to get an idea. I simply don't get the reason one should delete the price.
What's the general consensus?

An innocent and valid question

Thread spinning out of control

Par for the course.

Actually no, the for sale forum is not open to everyone. The fact that it is the internet does NOT make everything everyones business.

Ad is public. Negotiations are private. Shouldn't the seller respect the buyer's negotiated price?

[Andrea Gazzoni]

no one has said negotiated price must be declared. the question is why remove the asking price.

[Andrea Gazzoni]

also, how a buyer can be offended or not respected when no one knows who is the buyer? replies to FS ads are not allowed.
