Selling stuff rant

I think instead of a BOS I am just going to start requiring a DNA sample instead. No name, no DL#, just a strand of hair or some blood.

Even if I am just selling a couple of magazines or some ammo.

As long as you're not asking for a sperm sample you should be OK!!???

How about lowballing?

Had someone on this site PM about a gun I was selling. Drove 50 miles to save him some $$$ and time. Met him and after he wasted 10 minutes looking at the LNIB gun he offered $100 LESS than we agreed PMing. Mentioned price being too high and "Gunbroker" selling price lower than mine. 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!!!

I've had something similar to that happen to me recently. Don't set up a meeting with the premise that you are buying an item for sale and then offer less after wasting ten minutes of my time - especially if the item is better than described (by this person's admission). If you want to discuss a lower price, mention that prior to setting up a "I want to buy your ___. When can we meet?". This person was from another site, so I won't post any info on him.

Or when you are discussing the trade of two comparable guns, a glock and an M&P for instance and for whatever reason the other party thinks their gun is worth more used than it sells for new and your gun should go for half price.

It's amazing how many people think they should be able to get full MSRP for their gun in a trade, but are only willing to give you trade value of what they saw one sell for "just like yours" recently somewhere.

I had a newbie "low ball" me on an item I had listed for sale recently but he was at least polite about it. Asked if I would take (insert low amount here) for my item and I said "no thank you". He replied back and said he understood my not wanting to sell it at his offered price and said he hoped I wasn't offended by his offer. He wasn't trying to low ball me he just really wanted my item and that was all he had to offer. Can't blame a guy for trying to get something he wants can you?
