As someone who has done my fair share of EC buying and selling on this server, I side with Tomtee on the price listing debate. In the majority of cases I do not list prices for items I am selling and Tomtee has already discussed some of my own reasons.

I will add that an additional reason that I don't usually list prices is that I WANT a potential buyer to send me a /tell so that I can get a conversation going. I believe that there are more people who will ask what the price is than people who will not because they assume I am intending to gouge. And what I'm worried about is someone not sending me a /tell because they don't have exactly the amount I'm asking for. If I can get a conversation going, maybe I find that the buyer has enough plat to make an offer close enough to my price point that I find it acceptable. Or maybe I find that the buyer doesn't have plat but instead has items for trade which I find to be a good deal. Or maybe I don't make a deal but at least I had a friendly exchange with someone.
