My one pet peev is ads that don't quote a price. Montblack


I figure if someone doesn't post a price .. there's a reason. It's
way over priced. The last thing I'm going to do is call for
prices. I just pass over them.

Me too! I see it as a sign that the seller is either not ready to sell, or
doesn't really value time.

Agreed. That whole "if you have to ask you can't afford it" mentality just
****es me off.

I always feel like if I have to ask for the price on something I am dealing
with a shady used car salesman. So I do not ask, and whomever loses a
potential customer.

That's interesting. I figure the prices in the ads are pretty useless. I doubt
that many airplanes go for the listed prices, anyway. By the time an airplane
gets in TAP, it's already been on the local market for a while and didn't sell
in the local market, possibly because it's overpriced.

Doesn't apply to specialty aircraft that may not have a local market, but a
Cherokee or a 172 or similar will be sold locally if it's priced right.

..... but I don't know, I've never bought or sold from a TAP ad.

I don't have to ask, I KNOW I can't afford it! ;-)
