Ok. I thought you were military.
God I hope not!! Just keep me in mind closer to July. I very well might have some "disposable" income if you know what I mean.

I also like the guys who post on used guns at 120% of new cost... "nice price" "shouldn't last long"
and then there are the guys that don't have anything else nice to say so they post... "great gun from a great seller"
I guess the extra cost pays for the commedy!

Been out for awhile now.
Yep, I've seen him. The one that types in all CAPS half the time? Bought something from him a few years ago. Took a LOT to wiggle him down.
I always list my guns about $25-50 high because there isn't a decent person on this forum that will pay asking price. Every time I've listed anything for sale I've always had a handful of jackasses lowball the hell out of me like they work for Pawn Stars. Hell I've even had people PM me asking if I'd be willing to give them stuff because of some situation going on in their lives that apparently entitles them to other people's hard earned possessions.
I'm sure I'm not the only one on this forum who feels that way
Yea. But isn't a used $600 17 better than a new one for $475? I mean it cost more. So it should be more better.

It's because its broke in. By shooting 500 rounds thru the used Glock they have saved you the cost of ammo that you would need to shoot thru the new Glock.
Of course you should pay the extra for them performing such a valuable service

I am going to have to go with the argument that it is up to the buyers to keep things right. If the price is to high then keep looking. I do not believe you should post a comment in the thread making a remark about the price or even make an offer in the thread. Do it by PM. I think when comments are made it bumps the post up and can knock down other ads that are more in line with correct pricing. I think that it also somehow make the thread "hot" and people will look at it more often when the high price should just be ignored. I agree with the post that we don't really know what things are being sold for as many deals happen and prices may be negotiated behind the scenes.
As far as honesty well, unfortunately, the world is full of dishonest people and you can only make sure you keep your conscience clear. I hope I have never traded or sold to someone who felt like I screwed them. I think my rating would say I have not but I certainly feel as if I have represented myself well. I also don't know if I have ever not done some negotiating with the guns I have sold. And, as for the claim of some guns being unfired, come on. We are all collectors of firearms. Unless you are using it for your job or competing do you really need 5 guns. Sure there is hunting and certain types of shooting people do but I know I have bought and sold or traded guns I never shot. That is why we are here on this forum. We LIKE guns. I have also had guns that just did not work for me and I turned them around without ever firing them. It does make me a little nervous to turn a gun around without making sure it shoots (other than dry firing and cleaning the thing) but it has happened. I had a M & P 9c that I thought I wanted but every time I took it out of the case and held it I just did not get a good feeling. That went on for about a month or so of taking it out of the case and wanting to like it and never making it to the range. Hell, maybe I would have loved the way it shot. That is the thing. I know I would not want someone saying they wanted a gun I put up and then have them show up and hold the gun and then say they did not want it after all. I am not a gun store and if you say you want to buy it and I mark it SPF then you should follow through with it. The classifieds are only as good as the people who take part in it.
Now, my gripe with the classifieds is that everyone needs to remain vigilant and mark things sold when sold and close the threads. It is a little frustrating when old threads are resurrected that have been sold for months.

Maybe I have a unique approach to online classified ads, I see them all as comparable to walking into a use car dealership. I will not buy anything until I can physically look it over and make sure things look okay. I expect the price to be a little higher (maybe $50 at the most) to leave room for negotiating but other than that I just ignore every ad about a gun that some guy bought, put a bipod and a scope on and expects to get paid retail for everything as well as another $500 for his labor of attaching everything.
You must be referring to the one that had me so pissed this morning!! It was an insult!!
