I don't see why it's a problem?

It gives the seller an idea of what people are willing to pay.

If somones serious about buying it then they will make a good offer - pretty simple really

I don't think they should be banned, just I don't personally like making offers.

tbh, if i was selling on here i would put an upper price that i would be looking for, and if there was not much interest i would ask for offers; i think some sort of starting price helps gain interest and will also stop people from offering stupidly low prices.

IMO, Ban Offers and posters must state a price.

If someone makes an offer under that price then fair enough.

If you could come up with a good, valid reason for banning it maybe...
