Whats with the whiney folks in the For Sale section???

lets all gather and watch now

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!

Aard if I really wanted to waste your time, I would have drug it out for you to send me pics and then ask for more specific pics of this that or the other and then said something along the lines of "Well let me think about it til monday next week and I will let you know" Then ask for more specific pics and then after 2 weeks say, "Naw Im not interested"
Now that is a prime example of someones time being wasted. Has happened to me and a many others I am sure.
So time to change the tampon I think

I love threads like this even though I never understand them. Always seems like both/all parties are complain way to much....

Oh....

a while back I PMd a seller with interest on something.

I asked for more photos, which were provided, then mulled it over and eventually passed on buying.

First contact to no thanks was about 24 hours.
