Some peoples children?(Ranting I guess)

I just love the people who post ads with no prices, no phone numbers and no return email address. When there is no price I now assume it is some rediculus number and darn if that isn't always the case. Yes I have a few years on me now, but what is it with all of this advertising game playing? I swear some people simply must be lonely and want to drag out the selling process ,just to have someone to communicate with I guess. First you must respond through the web sites email system and then in a day or 2 you may get a return email. If you are real lucky you may get a phone number. If a response takes that long, they have lost me as a customer.
Oh well I guess details; like who, what, where , when, why, are a thing of the past. Oh well I will shut up........

Did you ever consider the possibility that many people just don't have the intelligence to write an ad? The older I get the more I think that a lot of people just don't have common sense.

When looking for some item,if the price is not listed I am done right there. Sellers fish,hoping to get someone to come and look then get them to make an offer.When I am selling something I put a market value on it and advertise as such,may dicker a few bucks on the price,but they know what I am asking before they get here.

My rant too I guess. I do not respond to adds without a price and phone number. Same goes for dealers in Fastline or any of those mags. don't buy their parts either!

i agree with all the rest.... especially on c-list, never know who is scamming, fishing for e-mails to spam you. i get a kick out of c-list car and truck selling by dealers. that where scammers are, no phone number, address, business name, mostly g-mail replies, women's names.... a 2008 lexis for $2895? hahahaha..... too many legit posting to look at, rather than put up with b/s ads.

Michael Soldan,
I have to agree with everyone . . . even the BIG GUYS do it.
I get flyer's that must cost a bundle, they must be ashamed of their prices, from John Deere, Kubota, Car ads, CTC and sometimes TSC, and real estate ads (pix and type so small, no $$, or where it is) so these all go directly to recycle.

I called John Deere about it their excuse was different prices different areas, hogwash most printing is Zone printed any way.
The next brochure they only put the price on their lowest cost models like lawn mowers.
Next time no prices not even on small implements.
Can everyone tell from a pix if a tractor costs $10,000 or $50,000.
Not to mention model #s change often, can't go by that for ??? price.
