I thought they were serious. Or when people use the "Book Value" when it works for them, and the cheapest one 5 years ago for yours,[Coffee]

This is hands down my biggest pet peeve, it is so easy and its free to host pics on Photobucket or any number of other sites. If I dont see a picture I hit the back button.

Oh, and a stock photo from the internet does not count

Or people that include sales tax in there price," Its only 6 months old with 1,000 rounds threw it".

Just out of curiosity, for pricing I general google:

Look through 10-20 of them to depict if the price is on or not. Is this a good method?

Good place to start, some people just want to be cheap.
I hate when someone haggles you to death, and then tries to sell it the next day on the forum for retail

Seriously?

I really hope you call them out on it. The few things I have bought and sold later on I contacted the sellers before hand and told them I would be doing so. But never for more then I bought it for.

Yea, but that shouldn't stop you from leaving colorful feedback for them. Its one thing to buy your item full price and attempt to re-sell for higher, but if you spend a week low balling just to re-sell it. Well that's a jerk move.

IMO the price of it is cash or trade.

Very well put. I see ads stating cash price of $500 and trade value price $650.

No I am not willing to take off $150 on my end because we are doing a cash + trade deal, because at the end of the day your $650 trade value gun is still only worth $500 (if its not over priced already) no matter whether I sell it or trade it later down the road.
