Default people asking for offers

is it just me or do you just pass over the ads with offers and when u ask for a rough price they come back with make me an offer then if u do they don't get back to you i have seen on some forums that when u put in offers it is removed or the admin or mod ask for a price to be put in it as I'm sure if people put a price in they would sell it faster or even sell it instead of messing about with just make me an offer

i would like to hear peoples opinions on this and hope that one day admin would make a new rule for people asking for offers

dont see a problem with it myself. If you see something you want offer what you think its worth if they accept great if not then oh well.

I don't like making offers tbh. Incase I offend the seller by offering what they think's too little, or by being ripped off if they had a lower price in mind..

Offers - annoys me so much! I thought I was indecisive. I would much prefer to see a price, I often do skip over offers adverts until the person bothers to put the price in. If I'm really interested I'll pm and ask a price, but I won't make an offer unless I have to, as the offer is always wrong.
You know how much you will pay for something, knowing how much the person wants for it is good, a guessing game and a pm back and forth to see if its possible to meet in the middle is a little time consuming and pointless.

Yes, I wish offers weren't allowed too.
