I don't want to buy it. My offer was never intended to be accepted. Was that not obvious?
I normally PM people who post overpriced things and let them know it's overpriced. In this case someone responded to the thread commenting on it, so I just jumped into the conversation.
People can sell at whatever they want. But if you post a stupid high price you can expect to be called out, either publically or privately.
Also, selling something at a higher than normal or lower than normal price is a tactic of scammers (who don't actually have the product). Calling them out is something we as site staff do to figure out if someone is legit. I'd say 80% of the time, people don't realize that their item is materially misvalued. The rest of the time, they are normally scammers who don't respond and who are using VPNs trying to show a local IP address. On rare occasion do people try to defend their absurdly high prices.
Again, we do our part to protect our members and the greater shooting community. Sometimes it pisses people off. Unfortunately we can't please everyone, but we do our best. At the end of the day, this is a discussion board and we try to encourage polite discussion.
I’m a long term member Austin and your quoted response is full of inconsistency. Who are you to
judge high price ? As with anything the market sets the price, to high equals no sale. A person should be able to list a 4,000 dollar H&R crack barrel although we both know it won’t sell and make seller look like a fool.
My main point is either allow or don’t allow comment on items for sale. It shouldn’t be both ways.
