Hanno, what about rules regarding price? Most forums insist on posting prices instead of being a guessing game or auction site. No best offers, etc. I think it only fair to be upfront with buyers as some guys like to "go fishing" by being vague? Its seems sometimes sellers will only sell if they "get a good enough offer".

Good point Chris; it is of course good practice to name a price or price range if you want to sell.

Although in principle anyone is free to "invite offers", sellers are better off on Ebay or similar auction sites if they want to see people bidding up against each other.

If all fails, can always apply rule (1)
