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

[Jimjam]

I’m not much of a trader, but generally I like my customer to feel like they paid a good price (low), but without diminishing their purchase by making it feel like a handout (many players seem to want to feel they ‘earned’ it, so not ‘too low).

Usually I only sell things to clear inventory slots and if it feels like the item would be too useful to another player to just vendor/destroy (I’m too sympathetic on such things and will feel bad if i destroy something someone might have wanted) so really am generally happy to just be rid of it for a good cause, and make at least the vendor value, you know?

Sometimes i’ll sell rarer items and I might throw on a higher price tag just because I want to make sure the person getting it really wants it.

If I posted a price I wouldn't get unsolicited EC pro tips for free:
"PC Item?"
"Reasonable wiki average"
"LMAO good luck"

Because putting text in there for pricing takes up space and you can't add as many items to your message. I hate having to put commas in even.

That's my reason anyway.

That is very good point. When you are selling 50 items or so, that is quite a few messages you have to keep track of, update, and re-send. From my experience, you can only really fit about 7-10 items per message, depending on the length of their name. The less text you need to write per message, the less total messages you have to write, and the easier it is to remove an item from a message when it is sold.
