From an objective guy looking at cars for sale-
If you see a car for sale in nicer condition or improved compared to its previous price, it is harsh/crude to bring up the previous price. Not illegal or not something that should be banned in my opinion, but just somehting not right about it.
If you see a guy selling a car for 10K you know they just bought yesterday for 5K and they are a flipper and did nothing to it, I like it when people bring that up. I'm plenty cool with that.
That barracuda is very nice.

Not saying to be disrespectful. The forum specifically says not to be derogatory, put down/insult what they are thinking, tell the poster it's too much money, etc.
It says nothing at all about posting factual information about the vehicle.
I have found great info about known flippers gouging their fellow enthusiasts on sales boards, there can be a helpful purpose to it. Whether it's an individual or a dealer.
(not saying that is the case here at all, just saying in general- I see nothing at all wrong with the price, condition, etc. It's a good looking car)
I have also gotten good info like,
"I saw this car for sale at a show for 8K in non running condition needing floorboards and trunk pan, in the shape it's in now at 13K it's a great deal"
I am pretty sure the sales forum is intended as a way for hobbyists to find and sell cars, and be honest. I don't think it was set up to be a safe haven for flippers not to get the dime dropped on them. (and by flipper I don't mean guys making a profit for their work, efforts, increases in price from market value, etc. You know exactly what I mean)
If I am completely incorrect with interpretation, based on my offered objective opinion, and the sale forum moderator corrects me, I will comply.
So, the sales forum is either:
use manners, don't be insulting, but you can offer facts that are helpful to other members (the car is not as described, the electricals are not all working, there is a ton of bondo they are not disclosing, the paint is way better than the pictures, he paid 5k to a senile old man for it after promising to restore it for his dying son and keep it forever last week, etc.)
or it is:
Buyer Beware-
known issues with the car or seller cannot be disclosed
again,
I was looking at the car, saw a ton of posts regarding a price disclosure,
and rendered the objective opinion as I am not buying the Barracuda or selling it.
and am not commenting on the car at all. but I have bought a car off this forum.
Just in general saying posting a previous price can be tacky is some cases, and not really called for,
but that a price disclosure or other info can be doing us buying a big favor sometimes.
