I really dont remember seeing anything in the rules about a time limit after you ask for pictures...

Just saying, "Send pictures please" ≠ "I'll Take it"

I read the ad in question. And what he said was an M1A and to tell him what you've got. He was quite specific with his rifle's description. To be honest there are maybe six or so M1A configurations that I'd like, and I do feel his pain about people getting all "butt hurt" (gosh, I'm still giggling at that).

I am pretty cautious on trades or sales. What I've found is that there are several sub-species of people who scan the for sale ads, here they are in no particular order:

1. people who know little about guns aside from their Mosin Nagant or Glock.

2. people who know what it is you're trying to sell and who have an honest intention of dealing honestly.

3. people who are semi-secretly in the business of buying and selling guns who hope to take advantage of you in case you're stupid and dont know what you're selling is worth. They have a sub-species that buys ANY "black rifle" as long as it's cheaper than normal, secretly squirreling it away for the apocalypse.

4. People who think that the original sale price is the STARTING point for the value of their trade, and wholesale is the HIGH price you should expect for your trade.

5. People who think that any S&W over 20 years old is a COMBAT MASTERPIECE, when in fact it's an I-frame kitgun.

6. People that don't really want to sell or trade their item, but get a kick out of seeing what people will offer for it, because "who know" some sucker may have major wood for his little toy. This type is usually a retired guy who may go shooting once a year and has six gun safes packed to the brim.

The list is not all inclusive, but it's a start!

Not a bad start.

From your add: "I am looking to trade for an M1A. Let me know what you have." and "
I really want an M1A , Lets make this happen Folks" To me, that's vague.

The chain of emails:
"What time,. did you really lose a whoel lot of time in dealing with me, I mean it was 2 or 3 messages? Honestly didnt know of Fed Ord before your text then I spent a lot of time researching them on various boards and reviews.

Patience with dealing with people is probably a good thing to have exspecially in doing trades or buys from folks. "

It's been a long time in the safe so I'll have to verify all parts. Very clean, very reliable, wood and fiberglass stocks, sling, some odds and ends. I'm in Centennial near Quincy/Tower, work 7am-5pm weekdays.

And then you go on to repeatedly, needlessly insult: "Your acting like your ice cream cone fell in the sand. I am not gonna put on there every fucking specific type of firearm that I want as that limits the possibilites of others that could be close to what I want. ....So now your wasting more time being all butt hurt over the fact I dont want your craptastic rifle, so who really is wasting whos time now? Think it is you wasting your own time. "....If you're not going to put "every fucking specific type" that you want, how is anyone going to know what's "close to what I want".' unless they send you offers like I did? hmm? Minor details help narrow down your wants and help folks like me make better offers. But..and "In the future, Id recommend you chill out with folks and maybe even reconsider your mental state for dealing with folks and owning firearms. In my opinion, not a great combo to have, shitty temper and firearms that is." and finally, "So time to change the tampon I think". What calls for this talk? Who started insulting whom first? Where, in any of my previous replies did I go down the path you've taken? Who's mental state really needs addressing?

After you turned down the Fed O, I said you should put that in your add (emails above) and sent a short list letting you know what else I have and then you immediately sent the teen bitch email. WTF is up with that? And limit your options by being specific? ...I've got options but you didn't give a chance before you puked: 16" and 20" barrels, standard config, match, Zeiss/Svarovski/ART/Nimrod scope equiped, standard wood stocks, fiberglass stocks, folding stocks, M14E2 stocks, custom laminated stocks, spare bolts on all rifles, spare parts for all..more accessories than needed.

Dude...really? Are you that insecure and immature that you have to be this way? I'm not the one to chill out; you posted the first shot of shit and I replied in a civilized manner and you went on your bitch-fest cuz your shit don't stink and your paris hilton panties are wet and cheesy.

I'd like to refer to another thread on the General Discussion board by IDFYF8: Nice community here, but noticing some changes on the wind. "Lately, I've noticed a handful of new and not so new members spewing off at the mouth, attacking other members, and basically just being internet bullies. I'm trying to sound like a puss, but that crap gets old and it brings the quality of the forum and discussion down." You started spewing, I just replied and up until this message, I've mostly kept my manners. Grow up. Us old folks are annoyed by punks like you.
