Should Manufacturers Post Prices In Ads

I'm not sure Stokjoc was making a point other than ads for specific merchandise would be more usefull if they contained the price of that merchandise. To me, that seems to be almost self-evidently true. I'm really not too certain why personal attacks are warranted in a disagreement over such a small point, though.

Raguirre, I've noticed a tendancy for lots of folks to jump on the bandwagon whenever someone slams manufacturers or dealers. I don't have a problem with this if it is legit. And, no I am not a dealer or manufacturer.

If you read the original post, you note that Stkjok suggests that "if manufacturers have the nerve" to list prices, he wouldn't confuse himself -- then eliciting responses to the effect that if there are not prices in the ads "something is fishy". As I stated, this isn't a question of manufacturers not having nerve to list prices or attempting to mislead us poor unsuspecting audiofools.

Hey, if you've got a legit complaint that's one thing. I would be the first to support anyone who was really duped. But bitching and moaning about not having prices in general ads is lame IMHO. And, I find trying to put spin on the original thread to be equally lame.

Yeah, mention those unscupulous manufacturers and dealers and watch everyone go for the torches and pitchforks. I guess this falls in the category of "if I have to explain it to you, you wouldn't get it anyway".

Looks like a fish didn't like my post and gave me -2 -2.

Pretty chicken for a mere ten words.

My original point was that prices in ads save everyone from the consumer to the dealer a lot of time and trouble. You either agree or not it's that simple. My mistake for not making it a direct question. Nuf said.

Hi Stokjok. I agree that prices make things easier -- no doubt about that -- it's just that not all advertising is put together that way. And that's by design. Some sauce is on the side and some sauce goes on top, if you know what I mean.

Agreed, nuf said. I guess I was too literal in my take on your post. Sorry for the "lame" reference.
