Retail?

Retail price at time of its purchase. But if you wish, in the description feel free to state for what they currently retail. Otherwise you are just being deceiptful. You should not lie or deceive.

Some sellers are very sensitive if you ask the date of manufacture of a component.

That would make me wonder what else they wanted to hide.

That's it, it might be caveat emptor and all that, but there is something deceitful to the practice of listing current retail, rather than the retail at time the units was made. And absolutely nothing wrong with saying that now it costs more if you want to buy it new. I wonder what AGON's guidance is on the issue, or if they address it.

>>but there is something deceitful to the practice of listing current retail<<

Totally disagree.

The only salient price is what's agreed on by the 2 parties.

Everything else is window dressing.

I feel more comfortable buying from someone that list retail at time of original purchase, this gives an idea of the age of the piece. Like Pupul57 said they can mention current retail in the description, bottom line the serial # is still most important but with the inability to email members the back and forth process can be arduous and very slow!!!!
