I have a question about items for sale. I see for example that one user has several items in his/her for sale list, but the avatar does not appear under some of them. also when you click on those to go to the product page, they do not appear as offered by any user. I believe that it is because the user did not add any price to them. I would suggest to make them appear even if not price has been added, with a message like "contact user for price" or "price not specified"

I agree. I imagine that most people who put their kits for trade on ScaleMates don't know that they are not visible if they don't list a price, and since SM is more about Mates than sales, I think it would make sense.

yes this is by design and on purpose.
Easy, transparent, no time loss: Seller gives price: 20 USD
Seller doesn't give price, next all potential buyers are required to send a message to ask for a price, a few days seller sends message that the price is 20 USD
Why not save time/efforts for everybody and provide a price straight away?

Indeed, that makes sense. But do most people who list items for sale know that ? I didn't know for a while.
Is there a way to indicate it during the procedure to move to Trading ?
Or maybe a warning/message at the top of the For Sale/Trading stash list ?
BTW, shouldn't there be an info section about how ScaleMates works ? It's a different topic, so I will start a thread about it.

you should see "Required pricing info is missing. Please add pricing info. Your item will not be visible for other members when no price is given"

if we are not going to list those without a price, why not make it a compulsory field?. either you add a price, or you can not list it as for sale. allowing people to put it for sale, to hide it later, does seem a bit strange to me. what i mean, is now you can not see they are for sale, so you are not going to ask the user for a price. you can only find out if you see what specific user is selling. but if you go to the product page, it does not appear. so nobody will ever ask for a price. and probably they will never be sold.

some mates mark it for sale, but typically don't want to sell it online. (eg. they take it to an exhibition, their club)
some mates add it to their trading list, open to swap only
some mates use this for internal stash management

@Spanjaard: based on your comments I made a few changes so pricing info is easier to add straight away from within the newsfeed, for sale list or product page.
This is still not "required", but I think this covers the point you wanted to make?
