What's the usual rationale we hear, protecting privacy or something?

I have always been tempted to do so to hide the fact that I may have sold something too cheaply.

Brian - the bashful seller that still hasn't changed a sold price to 'Sold' or just a $ sign

Buyer is going to try and flip it

Exactly. I have had buyers message me to ask me to delete the sale price from my listing. Assume they are going to resell it here or elsewhere and don't want others to see what they bought it for.
