To create a craigslist for-sale ad, you fill out an online form that has a blank space for entering a dollar price. If people aren't sure about the price, I suppose it's human nature to type something in the blank space, even if it doesn't make much sense.

There's no downside to leaving the dollar space blank -- your ad simply appears without a price in the title -- but a first-time craigslister wouldn't know that.
