Default Can we get a new rule in the classifieds

OP must state a price to stop all the time wasters and people too scared to do them selves out of 50p by under pricing.

Just fill their threads up with silly offers, like:

"Half a bag of Walkers Cheese and Onion Crisps (they are a bit soft, I found them on the back seat of the bus) and a very used copy of Razzle". People will soon get the message.

some ppl dont know wot things are worth or cost and too higher cost can put alot of people of its not that hard to send a sensible offer and if they prepared to deal with say yes and no to individual pms then i dont see why its a problem

I tend to be put off buying when an advert asks for offers. If your looking for the highest bidder then go to ebay......

She didn't like my offer either.

Now this does prove she had a price in mind.


If people have no idea what they want why not base it on what they paid?

If the can't do that for any reason a little bit of finger work will soon find similar items to give a clue to value.


I will also be on the 'no price tag' campaign.

So my offers will be good for a starting price.

not totally true cos on here things vary so much specially vivs u can owt from £20 to £100+ for same thing specially at the moment id not get the prob is its not hard to ask round wot they thinking and make an offer and if they ok with gettin wot seem daft offers then i really dont get how it matters

and the post ur on about i pmd her round same time as u lot wit an offer and she was nice enuf and said wot she was looking for price wise. ur posts and comments were not exactly friendly or nice
and flooded her thread and then baisically called her a lier wen she sold it else where and like she said buyer back out all the time.
