    Default When did the definition of "new" change?

    Seller number one:

    So, how can you tell me that your "new in the box" rifle "functions very well"?

    Seriously?

    Seller number two:

    If you have "only 20 rounds through it", guess what? That doesn't count as "brand new" either.

    F**ktards.





    By the way, I might have a brand spanking new 1993 GMC truck for sale soon. It only has 180,000 miles on it. It's brand new.

    I give this rant a 4.5/10 for the following reasons:

    -Minimal cursing
    -Minimal name calling
    -No wild accusations
    -No exaggerations
    -No mention of 3rd party candidates

    Posted an ad to that effect once and my brother & I always tease about the "NIB - only 200 rounds down the pipe & only asking $100 over retail!" New=unused period but good for a giggle anyway.

    I'm not at all opposed to the term "like" new. Would it kill people to just type those four little letters if they have shot the damn thing?

    they are trying to fit into a text message format and dropped the unnecessary word from 'Like New'

    Schmooze rules. Misrepresented products and services is the norm. When I find a honest person or business to do business with I do business with them often.

    That along with "Brand new, only 100 rounds shot." Or my other favorite "NIB, only shot 50 times." 50 rounds or 50 trips to the range?

    I see this everywhere, craigslist, armslist, cologunmarket, but not really here.

    Now that we have the guidelines for a proper rant... oh wait, nothing's really pissed me off today- it snowed!
