Don't forget that he will finish any opponent in two swings of the katana(any more and he will be too exhausted from lack of cardio)
Still not the strangest trade I've been offered. Apparently some people had the revelation that guns are more useful than their fantasy card game collection.
A guy I work with has a Magic the Gathering collection that's worth over $20k. Not even joking. And I thought my brother was something special selling his baseball card collection for $300 back in the 90s to buy a Sega Genesis.
Everything is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. That sort of gets back to the OP. Making offers is one thing, making absurd low ball offers should be bannable offense.
I look for good pictures, good price, and a short but sweet description. Have no problems sending PMs but always seem to be at my 100 limit between the inbox and sent box. Lots of people have a short attention span though and have trouble reading even the shortest of descriptions
I will say my one pet peeve is that I absolutely hate when someone will waste time with a "still available" message. If you're interested, make an offer and include some details rather than just those two words. It's much more useful to read "Hey I'm interested, will you take $XX and meet in XX if it's still available?" Really does it take that much longer than just typing a useless two word message?
Welcome to the new world of laziness and general discourteousness! I will NEVER understand why people (today), will not answer emails, texts, or PM's. It's just general good manners, and only takes a damn minute.
When I buy anything, I will PM the seller my cell number (encrypted), and my surname, and ask they call me. If I don't hear from the seller within a day or two, they can lose my number. Bottom line for me is, if you are expecting me to buy your item, you can expect to talk to me in person. That's when the rubber hits the road and the details are set!
How are you encrypting your cell number?
Perhaps I used the wrong term?!? I meant half-ass scrambled with words and numbers.
Not that you asked. But it is in fact the sellers item 100 PERCENT untill cash or trade is done!
Just like an FLL they have the option to refuse a sale for any reason period.
Also Members getting pissed that they sold to someone else is silly.
That is not the same as agreeing to meet and being a no show.
I agree. I had one potential buyer get irate and report me for not selling to him after I agreed and then he said it would be a week before he could meet. That’s reason enough for me to sell to the next guy who’s ready today. On the other hand, if I plan a sale tomorrow and somebody offers me more money today I’ll let them know they’ll have to wait til tomorrow and see if the first guy backs out. I’ve only had one guy back out of a sale.Not that you asked. But it is in fact the sellers item 100 PERCENT untill cash or trade is done!

I'm all for talking to people, but I won't make a firearm sale where I don't PM back and forth here a bit, first, for record purposes. If I'm buying smaller items, I'm cool texting about it, but for firearms or more expensive items, I want as much of a paper trail as possible.
Oh, lol. I'm not sure that matters over PM. If a bot has gone so far as to make an account and send PMs, it'll definitely get through scrambled phone numbers haha
Maybe I do it to see if my seller is retarded or not!?!:
People scrambling their phone numbers does not work.
Search engines can easily decode them.
Five oh 4 is not a code.
Don’t fool yourselves, this does not protect your identity.
