What pisses me off more is that they agreed to meet up, and gives me a damn low ball offer when I meet up.

I've had that happen on RMGO. I've even had someone ask me for gas money so they could get home.

having worked in sales my entire adult life those that have problems with "low ball" offers should get over it. If you know your product and your pricing is reasonable then just wait for a better offer. The offers come in via PM, you don't like the offer, just write back NO and don't offer a counter price unless you're willing to haggle. I see the "no low ball" and chuckle. Just write FIRM and that's that. A great salesman once told me "low ball offers don't offend me just means they can't afford my item but they are a buyer"

I have bought a couple guns that were for trade only.... . So are guns for trade only, for trade only?

[funkfool]

Hey, I'll give ya $250.00 and a few hundred rounds of 'once fired' 9mm brass for that LNIB Python ya got there...

What bugs me... is when someone PM's you with "what is your absolute, rock bottom price"....
Yeah, let me do your haggling for you.
It is in the ad - unless you want to offer me something else...

Eh, to me it's a subjective experience. If I know the guy and his situation and think he'll get more joy out of something I have for sale, I might very well just give it to them as present or a well-wish or something. If I don't know the guy, I've usually done the research and know the bottom barrel price -depending on how they approach it, I may say sure or tell 'em no thanks.

1 - "what da lowest price that u take homey?" I'd tell them to re-read the ad as reading comprehension is essential. There is no OBO or "willing to negotiate", the price is fixed at $xxx. Take it or leave it.

2 - "I'm interested in such and such, but due to this circumstance, all I can offer is xxx. Are you willing to work with me?" Most likely I'd respond with a call me and it'd be either SPF are "gone" which means I just might give it to em for a two liter of Dr. Pepper or something.


Yeah, I might be an ass sometimes, but I'm also a really nice guy and try to look out for my brothers.

Haggling is all part of making a sale I think. Both parties need to be flexible and understanding.

However, as a seller you've got your price you just want to sell it and get it over with, or the haggling price and I think it's up to the both seller and dealer to do their research to see what is fair.

Comes down to common sense in the end.

The only way there should be anything like that ever remotely happening is if it a gross ms-representaion of an item like "Um, dude. Ya did not say the stock was broke in half and you just stuck it back together for the fuzzy cell phone pics.

As a buyer I have made errors but always upheld my end. Even when the seller offered to let me off the hook. I said I would take them and did not ask the right questions first and they were everything the seller stated. My fault so I took the hit.

The only offers that annoy me are the ones that read.

So when you built it the kits were $95 and the receivers were $55 along with the 922r kit of parts for $60. That comes up to $210 in my book so would you take $250?
