I hate to be Debbie Downer, but discussions like this where people post what they charge their customers can get dangerously close to violating price fixing laws, especially if the purpose is for sellers to get justification to raise their rates. Ford isn't allowed to call up GM and ask how much they're going to charge for a pickup truck next year, and if they do they aren't allowed to raise their launch price because they think they can get away with it.
Of course, when the prices are published things change (like if a supermarket sees that another supermarket raised their price for milk), but this type of a forum with sellers chatting about what to charge seems like a grey area.
IANAL, but please be cautious.
