Can we stop saying "in ad" for a price in the classifieds?

Maybe it's just me, and I know there are already kind of a lot of rules in the classifieds, but can we stop people putting "in ad" for the price on (seems like) every frickin' ad?

The whole point of having everything with a price listed is a really good one, and it seems to me like people are trying to work around that by not stating the price of stuff up front to force you to read through the ad.

Just a suggestion.

No, we tend to put " price in ad " because we usually will lower the price if the item does not sell. So putting a price in the heading of the ad would be misleading as the price usually gets lower. At least that's my reason for doing it.

Just because a price is posted doesn't mean that's what it will sell for. If you don't like the price can't you send the seller a PM with an offer of a lower price?

Actually - I am about to discuss with my fellow Moderators about deleting ads that do not have a price for cars in the price box.

I have edited many ads the had "In Ad" in the price box and I have edited it to show the price.

I don't have time to read every ad about this.

So - don't be surprized in the very near future ads that don't have a price in the box will be deleted.

As far as 'Parts for sale" - if there is multiple parts, you have to put "Prices listed "in the the price box.
