Seems like a joined right before the down turn here.

Well, sorry about that. But, the way that place has been the last couple of months, something needed to be done. And since, this is starting to seem like the only "free" place to sell stuff..I'm not sure what else to do.

Maybe "memberships" for those who want to sell?

I dont really see the point? I know I dont have to read all the whining PM's so my opinion doesnt really matter. But the people that join just to buy/sell will just make 50-100 BS posts then continue with what they are doing. I know some people join just for the classifieds and I could care less as long as they are good guys. But high post counts dont make people better people, it just means they spend more timing trying to get high post counts [Beer]

Just my 2 cents but it doesnt matter. I have had guys with triple my post count back out on deals, not show up to meet etc.

You mean like RMGO? [Coffee]

Seriously, a few bucks probably wouldn't kill any of us. But where would that money go? Just curious.

I have been a member since 09 but you are correct up until now i pretty much just came to sell stuff! i would look around for a bit but if i didnt see anything i wanted to buy and if i didnt have anything to sell i wouldnt post....

im not voting for post count since all my posts got deleted when i had to restart over... so im going to say a membership fee... i pay it on other websites.

just my .02 as a newbie who doesnt want to keep starting over on posts counts to stick around... like stated i think a lot of people would go elsewhere to sell guns and im sure a lot of guys on here who are always buying guns wont find the deals they were finding?

100 posts is a lot for me on any board... That's why I voted 50.

So, you are saying, that if I closed it off completely, You would pay just to see the trading post?

Then you wouldn't have to worry about the post count, because, you are just here to buy and sell.

not quite what i was saying... i was just saying i would pay if I HAD to! trust me i rather just stick around and not have to pay :)

I just have limited stuff to say about guns i guess... I could talk about bows and hunting all day long... but not a lot of members here seem to want to talk about that :)

I love guns, I love shooting guns... I have a gun on me everyday but im not sure i can get 100 posts too quickly around here even if i cam everyday... i feel like i would be making posts just to make them... and that kind of seems pointless because you arent really contributing to the forum if you do that...

if i have something worth saying i will definitely try to help out if someone has a question but i am no means an expert with or about any gun
