    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.

    Don't you know that Glocks appreciate when used? Used glock accessories retain full retail value no matter the condition.. They're that awesome!

    Yeah if a seller wants a BOS thats his/her perogative but that is something that HAS to be disclosed in the original thread. I bought a lower from someone on here a couple years ago and after 8 or 10 emails back and forth with no mention of a BOS I drove to Colorado Springs only to find out this douche wanted a BOS

    And with that, this has morphed into another "I have sand in my VJ about a BOS" thread...

    I dont think so, if you look at how I started my reply I stressed that it is the sellers perogative to ask for one or not. If thats what they want fine, but that needs to be disclosed up front.

    Still just a rant of selling and buying

    This, I hate that people are "ok" with this practice.

    It's amazing how many people think they should be able to get full MSRP for their gun in a trade, but are only willing to give you trade value of what they saw one sell for "just like yours" recently somewhere.
