So on this board its ,your first in line if the owner feels good that day
and his wife hasn't slapped him or his dog didn't die that day.
Here is perfect example.Wanted that 308 upper on here.Great great
price.The bcg costs as much as he was selling it for.But since I offered
3 days before anyone else ,i was last. Because I lived 128 miles away.
Well...yeah. If he doesn't feel comfortable selling an item to you, or anyone else, he won't be forced to. If he doesn't want to spend his time going to the post office, so be it. If he'd rather sell it to the first person who could meet him with money instead of waiting for someone to drive to him, that's his choice. He's the seller so it's his terms.
But I'm curious as to what 308 upper you were trying to buy. There's only one 308 upper I remember seeing on this board recently and I'd be willing to bet, if that's the one you're referring to, you did not make an offer 3 days before anyone else.
If I did what a lot do on here,in that perspective,,I would have quit the
gun fun 45 years ago.Plus I wouldn't have made the connects I have.
Ive had people 500 miles away,hold things for me,with a deposit of course
probably a 100 times or more.
Perhaps you should stick to buying from your connections or who you've bought from before. You've got 41 posts on this board, 5 of those in this thread. You are starting to become a contributor to this thread but you are still a new user. And so far, I'd be willing to bet most people associate your name with complaining how people on this board don't treat a new user as if they've been contributing for years. I'm fairly certain you're not convincing people to do business with you. You're coming across as someone who would be a pain to deal with if the seller doesn't meet your demands.
I guess I just thought more of people on this board,but I am learning fast,
buy close,pay more,take chance of getting shot,vehicle breaking down,wasting
gas and acting foolish
Jus sayin!!!!
Nobody is forcing you to buy from strangers just like nobody will force strangers to sell to you. If you're worried about getting shot, meet the seller in the parking lot at a police station. If you're worried about breaking down, how do you go to work or the grocery store? After all, you'd be taking a chance on breaking down.
Just sayin'...
