My turn!
I always felt that finding pricing online is a major help in determining the value of my product. However, I have also learned that this doesnt automatically mean I will do business with that person. I would rather have a great relationship with a buyer that I intend to work with for a long time. Now, a buyer with prices posted on here (pick one) may or may not fill that requirement, but NOT posting prices will not disqualify someone for me. If it does for you then I think you have a narrow vision for your business (not meant as a put-down). My advice is to explore all the opportunities you find on here. You may find a gem by not overlooking those that dont offer all the information you require.
One other bit of advice is to remember that words written on a forum such as this should be written carefully. Intentions do not always come across in print as one would like. I try to glean the intent over the content once I understand that something that sounds "snarky" or "arrogant" may not be intended as such.
Personally, I have dealt with 2 of the people that replied to this thread where one does not post prices and the other posts basic information. After dealing with them I completely understand their business concept and why they post the way they do. It may/may not be how I would do things, but their businesses seem to be thriving and I have enjoyed working with them both. There are a few others on here that do post prices and I hope to do business with them at some point. If thing work out well with them they will also be on my list of preferred buyers. Take the time to build a relationship that works for you and dont discount someone because they dont post, or blindly use someone just because they do post. Take the time to pick up the phone and talk to them. It's just good business sense.
*edit*---I will be happy to share my experiences with buyers on here if you want to pm me...but I wont do it publicly
