Not posting a price for a item being auctioned, why?

[Petrified Wood]

As the title says I am just curious if there is a actual, reasonable explanation for not posting the price of a item you are trying to sell on the forums? Honestly tho I'm not saying its so wrong or anything of that nature. I always say, you do you and all. For myself being a very curious and inquisitive individual, knowledge is true power and it leaves me anxious to learn more and more. In Norrath or elsewhere this is the case for me.

I'd just like to understand if there is a point to leaving a price out or not. If anything I would think it would streamline a sale better if you did post a starting bid, that way you don't have so many people PM you with question that could of been answered without further communication and time wasted. They might not even be in the price range at all but if a price is not posted you will get many more PM that could of been avoided, saving time for the poster and the potential buyer.

Anyways, if you have anything you could add let me know in this thread. For all I know at this point each person could have a different reason for not posting a price so let me know what yours is and hopefully I will learn something new. Cheers!
