Good question. What is being covered up?why they remove the price after an item is sold ?
I guess I'd not buy from them. Perhaps already on my ignore list anyway as I'm not seeing it much.

There are advantages for both the seller and buyer to eliminate the original price posted and the final sale prices:
Sellers may drop their price let's say 25% in private negotiations for a specific item. If they have other things they're selling, other buyers will think they can also offer 25% less for the other items. A seller may get a reputation for inflating their original prices for other things later even if he doesn't.
Buyers may become sellers of the same item if they decide not to keep it. They don't want the price they paid or originally advertised known.

I've noticed (since I am late to most For Sale posts due to geographical reasons) that, when an item is sold, the seller deletes de price.
Just thought it would be a great to keep those prices online for future reference.
I was recently wanting to buy a Fuji GA645 and was shocked to see how little they went for 10 years ago.
Well, just a suggestion. Not sure where to post this.
Happy rest of the week!

Apologies Oren, I didn’t see this thread before posting mine.
I think of lfpf as a great source of knowledge. Price of products is in my opinion a great piece of information.
I don't care if you delete the selling price of your filmholders or your 150mm Symmar-S. I do care if you delete prices of rare lenses. There are few non-paying ways to check prices of a lens that sells once every few years. Leaving the price up allows both the potential seller and potential buyer get a feeling for the value of the item.
In the days of old, at swap meets
STUFF moved fast, often before the event opened
only cash
then resold maybe 3 times just after the early sale
money men chained to cases of cash
and guns
here we are allowed to complain IF NEEDED
stop whining
