maybe they feel if they ask they wil be told its to high or low

ive seen people quoting an amount and people saying

NO WAY I AINT PAYING THAT

so basically its catch 22

but if u decide to sell something u must have an idea what its worth so a price can easily be entered you dont just sit there and think i will sell that but dont know how much i want u have to know how much u want or u wouldnt sell it

so this is more a personal issue with another than an general issue with offers? lol

I find it hard to put a price on my animals, to me they are priceless. Maybe others feel this way too?

Annoys me when they put "PM for a price" - Nah, rather look at the next classified..
Or "PM for info" - How about you just put the Info on the ad?!

But thats their choice!!!!!!
If it means some people decide to move on and not respond to the advert, then thats their choice.

If you don't like the ads then just ignore them I really don't see what the fuss is about.
