Any item that is for sale needs to have a price attached. The reason is that anyone who is interested will want to compare the price asked with the goods offered. Without a price you are basically wasting your time.

Not totally true mr Henderson. Perhaps you should have written "in my opinion" beforehand as its not a forum rule.

Sometimes people have no idea what something is worth. This way they'll hopefully get a few offers, mull it over and decide a) its not worth selling or b) sod it, i'd like more (or occasionally "oh wow, i never thought i'd get that much" and sell.

Personally i'd prefer a price as my natural reaction is to put in an offer that 90% of the time turns out is far too little (i'm northern!) and i end up insulting someone.

Perhaps a guide price of the components so people can get an idea of what they are getting or examples of similar sales recently always help if you don't have an exact price in mind (plus people frequently offer a bit less trying to get a bargain).
