i sell things and know not to overestimate an items worth, which gives you more potenial buyers. ive sold tons of items and not once did i ever say to anyone "offer?"

i always give a price and i accept counter offers.

You know what I'm really sick of? Saying "WTS xxx for best offer" and I get tons of whispers asking "How much?"

This is an interesting topic. I've only posted an "ad," if you will, to sell an item once and it got lots of negativity because I posted the price straight out in the offer. It was definitely on the high end of the pricing I had seen a couple days before for comparable items, (motif books), but frankly, I actually did need it but at the time I was willing to part with it to get more bank space.
On the other hand, I have sold a number of things to people who have mentioned in chat that they needed to buy things and I pretty much always ask them how much they are offering. I do this not so I can overcharge them, but because, generally, I haven't bothered to think how much it a thing is worth to me in terms of gold. And when I do, I tend to think on the high end because I'm a hoarder who doesn't like to part with anything of value. You never know when you might need it yourself. So to spare us both the annoyance of my asking for a price that is obscenely high because I have some protective psychosis about my items, I just think about whether what a person wants to pay is fair enough. The simple fact is, for me, nothing is sitting in my inventory waiting to be sold, but if I see someone needs something, knowing how it is to need stuff that simple can't be gathered with any regularity, I try to help out.

Sort of edit: Twice, I did the ad thing twice but I don't remember the wood ad. I don't think anyone bought it, but meh, it wasn't that pressing, I was just annoyed with my wood at the time.
