    I agree with olddude. No matter what the commodity, I would be be a skeptic of any business deal where someone was playing "I have a secret" and going in not knowing what the prices are. The only reason I can think of not to post prices is if you are offering considerably less than everyone else is, or have some other sinister motive.



    If your prices are strong and service is good, why wouldn't it be for everybody???? Again, that makes no sense at all. Maybe it's just me, but there are 3 things I look for in a buyer.

    1. Price

    2. Service

    3. Location

    These are not in any certain order, but each plays a large part of my decision. I certainly would take LESS money to use a buyer that has good service and is closer (it costs money to ship). I would also take LESS money if I was in a position that I didn't have to ship the material and could just drop it off and get paid something reasonable (locally I get 2.50 for green MBs and telecom, it goes down from there).

    Maybe a seller that doesn't post prices can list a reason why so we don't have to speculate, but for me the first thing that comes to mind is it is easier to take advantage of less educated/experienced sellers.
