Well, its only as much nonsense as the rest of the posts, actually this might
make more sense. If a buyer can not compare the prices in a wanted list to other
sellers, then what is the point of a price guide? People keep trying to throw
in the, ohhhh its extra to have a good seller, its costs to have good customer
service,...... oh to pack an item correctly you have to pay more......etc etc....

Well, its very simple! TAKE THE ENTIRE PRICE GUIDE AWAY

That way, every seller can price EVERY SINGLE ITEM, based upon their own preferece
of PRICE, what kind of service they offer, packing, and sentimental value. A
simple 1x1 white brick might be 3 cents to you, but they are my favorite and
I pacakge mine in a titanium wrapper, so my brick is $75.

NO COMPARISON FEATURE, NO NEED FOR A PRICE GUIDE

No need to have a meltdown. Millions of transactions have been made without the
price comparison feature. We used the price guide. It worked. You have to do
some math and stuff.

What if you had been using the price comparison feature to pick a store, and
then go to that store only to find that you pay a $3.00 fee for placing an order
on a Monday, or a $4.00 fee for ordering only red bricks? Ridiculous examples,
I know, but there are stores with so many different types of fees that you need
to hire an accountant to know if it's a good deal or not.

How is it fair to anybody to have some sellers undercutting everybody on their
prices, and then piling on the extra charges, therefore taking advantage of customers
who don't hunt for the best overall deal, and also avoiding BrickLink fees
by doing it this way?

Until such time when a price comparison feature can also indicate what kind of
extra fees you would be paying, it's better the old way.
