Selling stuff rant

[spleify]

Whats with the deal with people and trade values. Do you really think that your(already over priced) $500 cash price for your pistol is worth $600 trade.....
IMO the price of it is cash or trade.

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.

i dont ask for one...i just take a strand of hair while they are not paying attention

checks clear in 1 day almost always.
and honestly
writing a bad check is a felony. How many gun people write bad checks?????

Even for my business doing 6 figures a year (totally not gun related) 95% of my money is in checks, I've had 3 checks bounce in 8 years in business, both were made up within a day.

Seriously, for $50, who cares??????

Can I have $50?

"gun People"? I have no clue who half of you are. No offense but I do deal with newbies.
The issue isn't as bad here as it is on CMP where people are all over the country.
Businesses have more assets and time to go after check bouncers than my broke ass over a "$50" thingy.

Well you would be hard pressed to snatch a hair form my old bald head, unles you wanted one from my ass, they grow pretty wild down there...

And they were short like $40 to begin with. There not on the forum anymore. I'm suprised he didn't try and wash my windows. It was funny at the time

I definitely would have laughed in his face on that one. then walked away and drove off.

I always do USPS money orders and require them when I sell unless it is FTF cash or a very cheap item. never had any problems in hundreds of deals on several sites.

Don't you know that Glocks appreciate when used? Used glock accessories retain full retail value no matter the condition.. They're that awesome!

Your Glock is poop, there is a whole thread dedicated to it. Good reading....

I think I was a little shocked. When he came up short ,ok. The gas money was just over the top.

I hate when I offer stuff for sale on the cheap side, and they want full retail for there stuff. If I need the cash i'm usually will to take a little loss. I think every situation is diff. I hate when people quote you a price off Gunbroker, on an auction that has 5 days left and has not met reserve.
