Further query regarding the having a price bit. If I had something that had no personal value, but to someone else (thinking eBay) it might be worth say £15, could we not get away with £ offers/open to offers. Because if I put a guide price for example, as it was considered too high, even putting "open to offers" would put people off as they would think I wanted close to the price quoted. When in fact, I'd even accept £5, but would rather try and get more for it.
It is swings and roundabouts. Personally, if an ad didn't have any form of price acknowledgement - by that I mean the advertiser failing to put the words offers/open to offers, £ offers etc then yes - bin it. But with actually stating those words, you are in effect saying I am literally open to offers (not literally, in the literal sense mind - I'm married!)
I won't argue the rules, because at the end of the day, no rules= chaos. But, I'd be interested to know the feelings on the scenario above.
