Asking for offer is no harm in my view - forcing a seller to publicly name the price knowing that the seller prefers not to is impolite. If someone does not wish to participate in a silent auction - simply do not - no one forces you, but do not force the other side either:-)

Hi Alex
You say you are not taking any sides

; i can not say the same, with all due respect for those afected

.
The way i view it, so called selling preferences, in places not dedicated to business (read speculation) should only be the ethical ones

.
I rather take it that, impolite is to put something for sale in a friendly forum without a price and still refuse to give it after your fellow members request

.
Silent (or any type of) auctions are perhaps out of context in a members only forum; this is probably a more pertinent reason for the respect issue ... at least for some.
What you probably mean by forcing is, in the worst, a figure of speech; i feel restrained from further coments on this one

.
Sorry Alex, don't take it wrong; i am only defending my dame. I am no business guru and i have never registered on eBay. I feel defenceless before certain exercises
Kind regards
Fernando
