Misleading ad titles and prices


Is it me or have I noticed a trend toward putting a low price in the ad title that does not exist in the ad?

I have seen it mostly among sellers that have lots of items to move and some retailers. The "call" or "$$" or "99999" etc. as price I understand. They want you to read the ad or contact them for price. Still there are misleading prices out there designed only to attract attention with no item at that price or intent to sell at that price.

I feel if I ignore these ads as opposed to complaining I am condoning the behavior and contributing to the erosion of honesty on this site. Or is it me? Am I being to anal?

Hi Entrope, how are you? Yea I seen those ads as well. My feeling if they can't be upfront with their pricing, they are not worth looking into.
Entrope, wow, India, wish that particular one was in my home again. Yes, I understand your addiction & affection for tube gear, I own the CJ MV-55 tube amp. I will always keep an SS amp as an alternative. Hope the availability of tubes don't eventually become scarce as I was reading this in an article just recently. Probably rubbish. By the way, great thread.
