    POA on cars ... usually means, if you need to ask ... you cant afford it.

    As for web site ... with costs going through the roof nowdays ... current price today, is out of date by the end of the week. Those that cant be bothered contacting the various websites ... usually have more to lose THAN that website.

    Still think POA is silly just spit it out, I'll either be able to afford it or not; Just saves everyone the hassle of calling etc. But you make a good point regarding the price on websites.

    Yep. My thoughts exactly.
    Wife and I are looking for a house currently - lots of properties are "auction" or "tender" with no indication of what the hell its ball-parked around.
    Agent got pissed of with me offering "$100" for houses that they refused to give me indicative figures.

    Most businesses run "exchange rate" padding or "variation" padding into their prices.
    Swings and roundabouts. Fact of the matter if you can't put a price (even a ballpark "Less than $200" pricing) on your website you are going to lose approximately 80% of your website traffic to a competitor who does.
    When I want to buy a particular thing, I google it, open about 10 tabs of people who sell it, and immediately close the 5 who don't have a price. Leaving me to pick from the 5 remaining.

    You don't have to have an e-store (but even my wife can sell something on trademe)...........but at least give people a ballpark before they have to email you or call you. Surely you have suppliers - how would you feel if they said "I tell you what, I will give you a price when you pay it".

    Why bother spending money on a GPS tracker? Plastic hip flask bottle of vodka (sealed) Syringe out a few ml and replace with a cyanide solution, use wax to cover the whole. Report the car or bike stolen and wait for the police to get called to a serious poisoning/death. 1 less scum and keep your vehicle for $20 and a little help from the anarchist cook book.
