Pissed, I told him to pound sand and left without sale. He PMed me that night, apologized, and wanted to meet again. Yeah, right. Won't mention his name here but...see him posting fairly often!!!

checks clear in 1 day almost always.
and honestly
writing a bad check is a felony. How many gun people write bad checks?????

Even for my business doing 6 figures a year (totally not gun related) 95% of my money is in checks, I've had 3 checks bounce in 8 years in business, both were made up within a day.

Seriously, for $50, who cares??????

2. If you put LNIB in your ad, you actually have to have the box.

3. No pictures, no sale. It's not rocket science, it's 2011, LEARN!

4. Sellers who would rather spend $20 in gas to sell a $50 item FTF than eat $3 in shipping to a same state sale. (not a gun obviously)

That is no joke right there. I see that often here. I have access to purchase new Glocks through Neve's Police Supply at the LE discount (which is $425 out the door with stock sights & 3 mags), so there is NO WAY I am going to buy a used Glock here for $500. Fortunately I have had great experiences here when I have traded/sold/bought something. [Beer]
