Agreed. I also find it particularly interesting that after a domain has been sold, I receive emails asking me to disclose the amount the new owner paid to acquire it. (Full sites, new sites, domains, etc). Personally I refuse to disclose any such information.
One of the things I find lacking in adult these days, among other things, is discreetness when conducting business. As mentioned earlier, not everyone appreciates having their strategies, or targeted acquisitions, identified and published publicly. Certainly an acquisition price is no one else's business beyond the two parties directly involved. For myself, the overwhelming amount of business I do, and I assume others, is outside any public medium and "behind closed doors".
Having said all of that, the points raised in this thread are somewhat educational in that it is probably a good idea to disclose, in the opening post, whether or not offers beyond the current medium will be accepted so as to allow the members of said current medium a choice of participating or not from the get-go. To that end, this has been a good read within this thread.
