Problem with negative feedback on this site is there is no way to verify. If I post negative Feedback on Jim because I am pissed, but not Jim's fault, how will anyone else be able to figure it out.
Just doing what I can to stay on this side of the dirt.
I haven't left feedback because sometimes people just change their mind or get buyers remorse.
I've been trying to sell/trade an ar pistol and
I had one guy agree to a trade, and overnight decided his trade was worth more (even though I know what he paid for the gun, because I was interested when it was for sale too) and then wanted money on my end....
another guy who set a time to meet and called that morning and said his furnace broke and couldn't afford it
a third guy who offered a trade plus cash, but then emailed me that I was valuing my trade at "crazy price" ($1050) and his pistol (glock) was at "normal price" ($650????) and I had to either lower my value to prepanic price, or raise his trade to panic price
not forum related, but then I took the gun to Tanner where someone bought the gun, then didn't pass the background check at the show (delayed, haven't heard back)
then on Saturday got another offer from someone on the board, I thought that we had an agreement and asked if I travel for exchange, I responded I would, and haven't heard back...dispite sending him another PM that went unanswered (he's been on everyday since). I have someone else that's interested (actually the first guy with a different trade) but waiting to hear back from the latest guy
So I'm done trying to sell/trade stuff here....it's not worth it. I think I'm a pretty reasonable guy, haven't asked anything crazy...I think I'm priced "fair"
none have been neg rep'ed because maybe it's my fault...maybe I misunderstood. And it hasn't cost me anything yet
Been there done that, as a mod on another forum and with a jacked up shotgun I bought on here. The mod basically said the same thing and was helpful, but I still got a bad deal on a gun that was cosmetically altered to hide some defects.
I'd give someone a neutral if they backed out, but it cost me notihng. Unless there is a software rating system, it is just too difficult and will significnatly increase the burden on the mods.
IF it were my site, I would require a $10 donation to be able to sell...that carries a stick and allows revocation.
I've posted one well deserved -1 in my time here. The person whined and complained to mods, gave me a -1 in retaliation and continued to bitch and moan until it was removed.
Curiously that person no longer posts here.
Keep Calm and Carry.
I don't like drama, and would expect negative feedback left in retaliation as occurs on other sites. I only had a few bad transactions here, and all were a while back: 1. Guy fucked me on a gun deal by claiming he "only wanted to spend" $100 less than the already agreed upon amount . . . currently reselling that same item for more than double what he paid for it. 2. Guy wanted to buy a pair of antique pistols for a very low price . . . changed the meetup location THREE TIMES at the last minute, then started blowing up my phone a week later because on his 2nd or 3rd extended range session a easily replaced part cracked on one of them. 3. Guy sold me a shotgun with a bad spring which does not always allow the hammer to cock unless the trigger is pushed forward . . . and he KNEW about the defect and lied to me about it.
I would only leave negative feedback if someone ripped me off or cheated me somehow. Not for changing their mind.
