I guess I must be from a different mold. Ever since I bought my airplane
I wondered why there is this phenomena of "no price listed". Do some
people who own airplanes think the "If you have to ask" reasoning is
REALLY valid.

Hey, I'm shoppin' here!

No price means that I now have to call you up and chase you down to see
if you are asking something reasonable. If not, you just wasted my time
and yours. Since "reasonable" is in the eye of the beholder, it just
seems to me to make absolutely no sense to not list the price. Does
calling you up make me somehow more "serious"? I think not. I am
personally turned off by an ad with no price. It says one thing to me:
difficult seller. Might also be a broker as someone else had mentioned.
Some of them think they can "talk me into" buying their airplane. I
don't think so.

What a coincidence that when I was in the market, all the guys who had
no price listed were off their rockers with prices 50%+ higher than the
market.

Your experience may vary.
Good Luck,
Mike
