I would rather the seller at least post a price (even if it's on the high end) with an "or best offer" option.

This is my sentiment as well. By not posting a price, most sellers are eliminating a very large percentage of their prospective buyers right from the get go.

It really makes no difference to me how anyone posts something for sale. Even when it doesn't have a price I will consider it the same way I consider any purchase.

The thing I hate is the opposite. When I post a price and I get "what is the lowest you will take?". I already posted a price. Why is it now on me to bid against myself to sell the item?

Or when I don't even post a card for sale, but another member knows I own it and they ask "are you willing to sell?", then follow up with "what would you take for it?". At that point I believe it is on them to offer a price. I didn't post it for sale, so why would you force my hand to give you a price point? If you want it than make an offer.

That is the Rick Harrison move from "Pawn Stars." On just about every episode, someone will put a price out there, Rich will sigh, rub his head and come back with "What's the lowest you will take?"

The sellers says 'whats the highest you will offer' so it goes both ways
