on the other hand you have people trying to sell their worn/used firearm with their sweaty used holsters and (disposable) reloads for more than MSRP...
Wasn't it P.T.Barnum who said, "there's a sucker born every minute"??
We know that many will try and quite a few will succeed.....
TheGinsue has us all in fear of the BAN HAMMER. And we all can out run an "Old Fart".Boy, this site is really getting tame. With the post I made just above this one, I thought sure I'd get some wise cracks (wise ass responses). Makes me wonder if no one wants to screw around with this OLD fart. Of course it could be more of a case of fear rather than respect for the elders.
Geez, I'm NOT going to shoot anyone.
The only way there should be anything like that ever remotely happening is if it a gross ms-representaion of an item like "Um, dude. Ya did not say the stock was broke in half and you just stuck it back together for the fuzzy cell phone pics.
As a buyer I have made errors but always upheld my end. Even when the seller offered to let me off the hook. I said I would take them and did not ask the right questions first and they were everything the seller stated. My fault so I took the hit.
The only offers that annoy me are the ones that read.So when you built it the kits were $95 and the receivers were $55 along with the 922r kit of parts for $60. That comes up to $210 in my book so would you take $250?
I see you running, tell me what your running from
Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.
You may want to take a look at the recent changes around here. Some have been promoted. TheGinsue and Hoser are now Admins and some of us other lowlifes moved up to fill there shoes.
And Dear OLD Blasterbob has been a good friend of mine for at least 8 years now..

wow, I feel like I am back in the army again...
Most of coin or precious metal dealers are real good with it thesedays.
I sold some of my precious metals when it was $500 , and yrs later after that at 1200.
I've seen was about 1-2% mark up at that time (2007-2008) for Au/Ag.
Some do it at flat $x dollar comissions.
True, I'm certain that almost everyone here can easily outrun an "Old Fart" especially this one, but maybe you could find it difficult to outrun what the "Old Farts" may be tossing at you.
NO! Not that but perhaps a rotten tomato or rotten egg or something of that "caliber".
My experience that most of the time sellers will come off of their asking price by 10% rounded to an even number or so. If they really want to get rid of the item a maximum of 20% off.
Going below 20% I would consider a "low ball" offer.
That assumes they were asking something sensible to begin with and did not say it was a firm price. If they weren't realistic to begin with, I just walk away and usually don't point out their lack of reality.
If I notice the seller has posted "Firm Price", I'd be pretty reluctant to make an offer lower than his posted price, however I may just ask the seller if he has ANY flexibility/room in his asking price. A little diplomacy may just help the cause.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Just checked my local WalMart today and for the first time in months, found one (1) 20 round box of WW 7.62X39 FMJ for a price of $27.97 +tax = 29.90, that's $1.49 per round. Now, that's damn expensive but someone will eventually buy it. I paid right at .75 cents per round and am going to try to sell if for about .62 1/2 cents per round, which is about 1/2 of the current Walmart price but watch, someone will still try to low ball my price. The Cabelas price is extremely high (much higher than mine) for all of the DOMESTIC versions of 7.62X39. Should prove to be very interesting.
On that WalMart price I mentioned above yesterday for the 20 round WWB of X39 @ that $27.97 seemed so damn high that I went back to WallyWorld today to confirm that price. That price applied to 9m/m ammo, probably a 100 round box because the 20 round WWB box of X39 was in the wrong slot. Of course no sales person was available to check the actual price of the 20 round box so I still don't know what the real price on that 20 round box is - not that it makes any difference to me now.
