Trading Post Etiquette

i offer the first contact a moderate time frame to shit or get off the pot. yes i've had to back off from a deal due to other financial needs. However to say you will buy it, then not contact the seller afterwards is just bad for old chap, bad form.

+1 . I just bought something this afternoon that I didnt want after I saw it in person, but I said "I'll take it" online and a mans word is all he's got. I'll be posting for sale soon.

I've bought and sold a bunch of guns and other stuff on this site. 99% of the buyers and sellers have been great. I can go as far to say, that I'm a better person for meeting some of them. The very very very few douche bags that you meet here, are few and far in between.

If you say your going to buy something, then buy it. Unless, you get there and it is not as described. Pics don't mean nothing. If the product is not as described in the ad, then I don't feel obligated to buy it. However, that has never happened to me on this site.

If you are broke and you need the money fast, you should include in the post that you will sell to the first person who shows up with the dough. I don't see anything wrong with that. When your broke, you're broke.

I have been burned by Craigslist and various other sites so many times my ass is ashy....
I honestly would have no quandaries with "Money talks - Bullshit walks" policy...
I have a treadmill and a fuel tank Ive sold like 3 times....
"Ohh yeah, I'll be there tomorrow with the cash!"


No Show...



So I agree, if the Buyer puts in the ad "First money"... by all means.

but I Also agree that we all don't have the scheduling freedom to drop what we are doing at 10am and run to the other side of the state to pay for something.

Drop that shit in the ad... be a grownup

and yes I Do still have the treadmill and the 105 Gal "L" Shape fuel tank

I just won't do Craigslist anymore. Got sick of answering the same million questions from 100 people then having no one show up.
