Why? That could scare away potential customers.

If its cheap and a commodity list the price.

If you're selling some exotic yacht to an e millionaire then just start a conversation.

I was buying an AC and SoS the other day and two people messaged me at the same time.

Both listed selling prices.

I immediately went with the lower priced guy, of course, but if the other guy didn't list his sell price I would've at least tried speaking with him in hopes of a lower price, etc.

Instead he lost that opportunity at a sale.

Listing prices takes extra work since I have to type them out in addition to linking the items in question. I don't use macros for EC sales, so if there are a lot of items that extra work adds up fast. It also typically fails at the main purpose--reducing unwanted haggling. If I list prices, some miserable cheapskate always offers less even if I'm already pricing lower than the usual going rate for a given item, defeating the point of price listing in the first place. I'll ignore such folks but it's still unwanted nuisance. Hence I don't normally bother...little to no benefit.

I despise EC and regard it as the video game equivalent of some miserable third-world slum market. The automatic auction houses found in most newer online role-playing games are a big step up for the genre.

Press Shift and the Up Arrow and you don't have to retype anything.
