I thought I had a deal done, it got pulled?

[scrandall01215]

No it is my fault I should of taken more care to make sure I had replied to everybody.
I have sent a message to the OP offering an apology and explaining why I removed the pistol from sale.

It says a lot that you publicly take full responsibility. I commend you sir!

Something else for the OP to consider also is if you're looking to buy a gun and are very new to the forum and have no feedback. A seller may get the heebie-jeebies, for whatever reason, and back out. I'd consider that to be his right. It might suck for the buyer but that's the way it needs to be.

Stick around @Mike Johnson, a lot of good people here!

Good point Mike. Of course we all started out with 0 ratings. Someone has to give you a chance, so I try to keep that in mind when a new member is buying or selling. I will be more cautious though.

As always, my #1 rule for conducting any transactions here is communication. Keep your buyer informed. Keep the seller informed. If something changes, let them know. If you change your mind, man up and let them know. Going silent or not responding to multiple messages is the one thing that puts me off more than anything else.

I thought that I had a deal done to buy a pistol from a member of this site , but he just pulled it without saying anything to me, gives me a lack of confidence in the members.

Bad apples everywhere - let me known when you find somewhere that is otherwise.

There was a day, long past, when an airline stewardess wanted to F*ck my brains out and though I had her in a bedroom I did not follow through.
That was GOD stepping in, not to protect me from sex, but to protect me from the consequences of b*nging the brains outa that woman! There were other women that despite my ability and mutual eagerness I did not bang.
Best you be thinking that someone is looking out for you, maybe someone has a plan for you 10-50 years down the road

If it makes you feel better, I have been here a while and I too just backed out of a sale all willy nilly.

Stuff happens.

For me, I didn't read the add well and jumped the gun. LOL, puns....

I think there is lots here other than the adds, though I know they help.

Just don't sign up to buy any MRE's!!!

As previously stated:

Communication is KING.

Hi everyone. I must say that I have only had one interaction doing business with members on our site. It was absolutely first rate. The seller was a good communicator and a really nice guy when I met him at the LGS. No second thoughts with this one at all. Thanks.
