Selling stuff rant

[Byte Stryke]

Reloads from the Dufus down the street.

I get nervous enough with MY reloads!

And they were short like $40 to begin with. There not on the forum anymore. I'm suprised he didn't try and wash my windows. It was funny at the time

Yea I got that "Oh I thought we agreed on less..."

[JohnTRourke]

How about lowballing?

Had someone on this site PM about a gun I was selling. Drove 50 miles to save him some $$$ and time. Met him and after he wasted 10 minutes looking at the LNIB gun he offered $100 LESS than we agreed PMing. Mentioned price being too high and "Gunbroker" selling price lower than mine. Pissed, I told him to pound sand and left without sale. He PMed me that night, apologized, and wanted to meet again. Yeah, right. Won't mention his name here but...see him posting fairly often!!!

sorry, BIG minus 1 feedback you should give IMO (to the guy)
big negative.

USPS MO is a good way to ensure that the money is good immediately. If you pay for something I do not want to sit on it for 10+days waiting for a personal check to clear.

checks clear in 1 day almost always.
and honestly
writing a bad check is a felony. How many gun people write bad checks?????

Even for my business doing 6 figures a year (totally not gun related) 95% of my money is in checks, I've had 3 checks bounce in 8 years in business, both were made up within a day.

Seriously, for $50, who cares??????

I Still have bruises

[spleify]

here, there, everywhere.

1. Seriously, "USPS money order only" for a $40 item?????? c'mon, who cares? (for a gun, totally acceptable or a couple hundred dollar scope, totally acceptable but for some piddly little thing???? thanks for making me spend 30 minutes and 10 bucks worth of gas. )

2. If you put LNIB in your ad, you actually have to have the box.

3. No pictures, no sale. It's not rocket science, it's 2011, LEARN!

4. Sellers who would rather spend $20 in gas to sell a $50 item FTF than eat $3 in shipping to a same state sale. (not a gun obviously)

Just felt like bumpin these....

[funkfool]

what caliber?

Caliber?
Who cares....
They're BLACK TALONS dude.

Or when you have "prices firm" clearly in the add and people still want to haggle.

Or when you have "no trades" or "only listed trades" and people want to offer you whatever they have tucked in the back of the closet.

Or when you are discussing the trade of two comparable guns, a glock and an M&P for instance and for whatever reason the other party thinks their gun is worth more used than it sells for new and your gun should go for half price.

That is no joke right there. I see that often here. I have access to purchase new Glocks through Neve's Police Supply at the LE discount (which is $425 out the door with stock sights & 3 mags), so there is NO WAY I am going to buy a used Glock here for $500. Fortunately I have had great experiences here when I have traded/sold/bought something.
