Wayne, with most other commodities I agree with you. BUT...an airplane might be 3000 miles away and one of the differences is: The Buyer has SEEN the aircraft, and the SELLER has not. As a buyer I'd want to know the price is one I'm comfortable with (assuming the aircraft has been accurately represented) before I made the 3000 mile trip for the final inspection and transaction. As a SELLER it irks me when someone trys to tell me what my item is worth without ever having seen it.
That's MY reasoning. This is one of those many areas where there are multiple "right" ways to do something...and, of course, situations do vary. Both methods may work equally well(?) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
