Second that. I believe the non-price ads can often stem from the fact
that the seller knows he's got something worth selling (as opposed to
pitching), but hasn't the foggiest about what to ask for it. I have on
occasion run ads with prices so out of the mainstream (either high or
low) that some nitwits will bother to call me just to berate me on the
price. When they actually tell me I'm going too low, that's embarrassing.
btw, I currently have an OEM Austin America 4-speed shift knob for sale;
best offer...
