how long to give a buyer?

[spleify]

Yep I agree, time to move on.

I had something similar happen last night. I am selling some of my guitars, and have them listed on Craigslist. Guy contacts me by email at about 9am yesterday asking if I still have it. I reply yes I do. He says he lives in the Springs but is coming to Denver tonight to pick up his daughter and would meet me at Bass pro shops at 7:30. I asked him to give me a call when he was about 30 minutes away so I could load up the car and head out. Well the wife and I were getting hungry and she is asking what we are doing. So I send him a text at 7:40 checking status. He says he isn't even to Castle Rock yet and still has to go to Thornton so he is gonna be late. No problem, we will go eat, I asked hi to call when he was about 30 minutes out. He calls! Says he is on his way over there, we have a real good conversation, and I give him directions and instructions of where I will park. This is now like 9 o'clock. The wife and I get to BPS, and sit in the parking lot for about 10 minutes, I called to see where he was and to confirm my location with him, he doesn't answer. Five minutes goes by, I call again, no answer. We decide to go in the store to look around. We stayed inside until 10 when they closed. I tried calling him again, no answer.......WTF

Moral of the story, IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND HAVE ENOUGH COMMON COURTESY TO LET THE OTHER PERSON KNOW!!!!!

Seems like people now a days a cowards, and would just rather blow you off than tell you they can't do it, or something came up, or you know what I just don't want it any more.....fine I would rather you tell me that than waste MY WHOLE FUCKIN EVENING!!!!!! Fuckin asshole.

Ok, rant off....Sorry I just needed to get that off my chest

leave feedback, thats what it's there for (not sure about someone.. check their feedback and deal with accordingly)

but hopefully people can man-up and do the right thing.. for crying out loud, we're our own worst enemy ..
..people handling their firearms like morons getting people killed / injured
..people being inconsiderate of their fellow shooters when it comes to safety.. hell, even shooting others targets
..people spreading stupid ass rumors about anything firearm related.. which gets to the lamestream media and the next thing ya know....
..leaving shooting ranges a dump
..lying dealers
..scaming dealers
..private sales ripping their fellow gun owners off

we need to police our own or are ya all a bunch of libtards?
(if the shoe fits..etc...)

7, you hit a sore spot with me. Last time I shot at DM, some knob shot my target, and then after I called him on it, continued! WTF?@!?! I'm so happy I joined Frontier Sportsmens Club.

I had put my reactive (spinning) target out at the North range.. some guy walked up to the line w/o even introducing himself.. started shooting at things.. bored a 5.56mm hole through my target (for .22 LR only). that obviously torqued me and still bothers me a bit... A min or two with the MIG and it's ok now.. but still.. dang

I had a similar situation, except that I was the one shooting the other guys target. I was shooting at 50 yards to get an initial sighting on a new gun. He was at 100 yards and his target was set up directly down range from ME (at quite an angle to his position - you could even see where his target SHOULD have been set up). I apologized and refrained from shooting (was waiting until the next break so we could move HIS target..I was boxed in by a shooter on the other side as well). This ass-munch kept up his smart mouthed BS so I just resumed shooting. He packed up and left.

Where is DM? Curious, even though it sounds like a shit place...

[BigBear]

I'm thinking maybe "DM" might be Dragon Man's out on hiway 94 in Colorado Springs. I use the 200 yrd range and have never had a problem. But I always hear lots of stories of douchebaggery.... interesting.

[theGinsue]

Yes, by "DM" he was referring to Dragon Man's.

I've gone and had no issues and gone and been treated like crap from Dragon Man for simply going in and trying to my pay money to use the range, and even had issues with the Ranger Officer trying to insist on using one of my guns to see how it handled.

The story I related above about shooting someone elses target was at Dragon Man's.

The place is hit-or-miss but still gets my business due to it's proximity to my home (actually, it's only 5 - 10 minutes from where I work, only I can't have a firearm on my person or in my vehicle where I work).
