Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
an ArmsList miracle
I pulled off two deals on ArmsList at the same time at the same place today. Somehow exactly the two things I was looking for showed up at the same time. Both guys were straight up with good prices and had what they said they had. I'm still in shock. I wish I could give them feedback. I should go buy a bunch of lottery tickets.

I may be cursing myself, but I have had zero issues with Armslist deals. Everyone I have ever dealt with has been great.
Hell, I have even caught some of you goons on there... (been busted a few times myself)

Well I did it, cursed myself. The last two armslist deals have turned out to be a bust. Emailed a guy on an AK a few weeks ago and he declined my offer. A week later, he asks me if I am still interested and he would accept my offer since he needed the cash. The next morning, I run to the ATM to pull the cash and he sends me a message that he is going to keep it after all.. not quite a big deal but none the less, a welsh.
This one last Friday really chaps my ass. Found another AK that the guy is looking to trade for an AR. I emailed, fast response, send him some pics and we make an agreement. We pick a time and place to meet the same day and exchange phone numbers. I call him 15min prior to let him know that I am running a few minutes late and it rings three times and goes to VM. I send a text because this area has bad reception and my iMessages are now showing green. I show up to the agreed upon location and he is no show. Call him off my work phone and it rings all the way through like normal but goes to VM. At this point, I realize he blocked my number on my personal phone and deleted his ad with no notice. I was going to let it go since we were only meeting 10 minutes from my house (he didn't know that) but he didn't even have the balls to tell me he decided to go a different direction with it. I sent him a nasty email to explain to him how important it was on keeping your word. I had a far worse deal on Colorado Gun Market (yeah, who remembers those days?) so this won't stop me from using AL. Just annoying that people have no honor anymore.

Damn, what a dick move. I can't understand why people can't just either (a) keep their word, or (b) have the guts to tell you that they are backing out.
Isn't there a Patron Saint of internet deals? I bet CavScout knows.

Not "internet deals", but:

St. Isidore of Seville is the (unofficial) patron of the internet/computer users/techs/programmers/students.
