Ads and exposing asking price

[masluck]

Good Evening BC Nation,

I really enjoy reviewing the ads for BC gear I may wish to purchase within the "Buy & Sell" section of the BC Forum. Is it too much to ask to include the asking price versus a request to contact the seller/dealer? Most of the time it is included, but for some ads it is not. For one, it is far easier to see if the asking price is within one's budget to make an offer at asking price or other, avoiding any embarrassment. Second, if it is a dealer ad or consignment, I see inconsistency from one dealer to the next, which IMHO, should be standard across the board (just saying)... Thoughts?

While I would also prefer to see the asking price, I am not bothered by a contact the seller ad. Chances are I wouldn't bother responding to the seller but that's the chance the seller takes.
