It could only sell to an uneducated neophyte, a classic panic buyer.I think there should be some sort of infraction for obvious price gouging, new members with 2 posts asking $400 for a bone stock 10/22 ?:bsflag: yeah , I know I don't have to buy it, no problem there. I didn't even leave a remark, but I wanted to.
Thanks for the tip!Please use the report function (little triangle with ! in it) if someone thread craps and it will be dealt with.
Then don't buy it.How about people posting for sale ads for firearms that they actually don't have? Posting them for "friends". Leaves very little room for recourse in the event of a deal gone bad.
Posting an ad for a friend (or relative) doesn't necessarily mean that they are selling it for them. I posted a couple of things for my brother in law not too long ago because he doesn't have internet at the moment. The ad had any buyers contact them directly and they worked it all out.How about people posting for sale ads for firearms that they actually don't have? Posting them for "friends".

There is a reason why we have feedback scores here on the site. I allows for some accountability during sales, improving trust amongst strangers. Posting a firearm for a friend, rather then helping them register and sell it themselves, bypasses that system.Posting an ad for a friend (or relative) doesn't necessarily mean that they are selling it for them.

The key is that you are being notified up front that this is being posted for someone else. No deception there. If you don't like dealing that way, don't answer the ad. Nobody is holding a gun to your head (pun intended) to go purchase it. But if someone does NOT post that they are posting the ad for someone else, then that might be a bit deceptive and at that point I agree that people shouldn't do that.
I put very little faith in people on the internet. That's why the feedback system, and some sort of recourse in the event of a sale gone bad, is so important.If the feedback system here is what makes you feel good about making buy's/sell's you put WAY too much faith in the internet.
It's a start.What recourse? A bad feedback?
Do you buy anything on Craigslist per chance? I'm guessing not. Because there is no feedback system. Do you buy anything from the newspaper classifieds? I'm guessing not because there is no feedback system.It's a start.
I also like to know other people's experience with someone prior to dealing with them.
There is a difference between selling for a friend, where you have taken responsibility on the forum for the sale, and simply putting up a ridiculous ad with the "friend's" phone number.I have never worried about it that much. Feedback is just that, in the past. Look how many "good" shops people are complaining about now.............. Take each deal on its own merits.
If you don't want to buy from someone please feel free not to. But do NOT try to restrict my ability to sell the way I choose. I have often sold for friends on here and will continue to do so. This comes back to the argument at heart of gun control. You feel free to buy and sell the way you choose, allow me to buy and sell as I choose even if it is not the same way you do it.............
Um, that is bs in a big way.There is a difference between selling for a friend, where you have taken responsibility on the forum for the sale, and simply putting up a ridiculous ad with the "friend's" phone number.
If you can't be grown up enough to take responsibility for your own purchases, then perhaps you should not be looking here.If you can't see the difference, than I can't help you.
