I only do phone calls; this results in mostly one and done transactions. Sack up and talk like a man, quit hiding behind a text when you want to trade a stack of pallets behind Wal-Mart for some ammo.I agree. Reaching out and contacting the buyer by phone call or text goes a long way toward qualifying the buyer and solidifying the sale. Both parties are more likely to feel comfortable if they have communicated several times.
+10000Asking to break laws....again report worthy.
I'm the opposite. I hate phones, rarely use one and don't like giving out my number. I don't like being at the beck and call of a ring tone, I don't go around with it glued to me, dialing in and going through the voicemail menu prompts is annoying, and folks invariably seem to, in my mind, abuse the whole texting thing. IE., If we agreed on a place and time, I really don't need to know and like having to respond to, "are we still good to meet?", "I'll be leaving in 10min", "I'm 5min out", "I'm here now", "what color and type of truck is yours again?" "I see you... I'll be right over" etc.I only do phone calls; this results in mostly one and done transactions.

Post count says it all.why assume the ones trying to buy under the table are regulars in the gun community?
While this can be annoying, it is part of the game. Some folks on here don't do much other than buy and sell. Or horde. I don't truly know honestly. I try not to judge. However there are definitely some that, in my opinion, like to horse trade within this hobby more than hunt/shoot/etc.I also don't particularly like the "call me so we can talk about that item" messages. I work more than full time and have a family to raise. It is much more efficient to simply send me questions in writing so that I can read and reply to them as I get time. I've also had multiple "call me" conversations turn into story time followed by a lowball.
Never had any buyer/seller here suggest not abiding by the law - including firearm transactions - and I have had a LOT of firearm transactions here (just look at my feedback, most it is firearms or firearms accessories).why assume the ones trying to buy under the table are regulars in the gun community?
HOW??? Man, I thought I was doing it on the cheap. I use Tracfone and it costs me over $5 per month by buying a $5 "1,000 text" card online, then grabbing a year's service for $59.99 when they ask if I'd like to add that to the cart. I've got thousands of minutes and texts available, and more data than I'll likely ever use that carries over. Seems you have to actually turn on the phone to deplete those resources.One advantage.... my "cell phone bill" works out to about $2.25 a month over the years.
Nothing wrong with trying to make a buck but I prefer not to deal with Gun Flippers.While this can be annoying, it is part of the game. Some folks on here don't do much other than buy and sell.

It does kind of sound like he is attracting scum. I agree, put the terms clearly in the ad then felons trying to get guns or atf likely won't bother.I wouldnt rant I would change the way im advertising to market the type of sellers I want.
Totally agree. I don't give out my phone number. Also I don't want to spend an hour on the phone if it's unnecessary. If it's "call or no deal" I would chose no deal probably 100% of the time. Personal preference.I'm the opposite. I hate phones, rarely use one and don't like giving out my number.

Of course, I also use one of those prepaid jobs where I pay by the minute and for each text. So there's always that resentment if I have to blow off the cost of 10-15 texts (incoming and outgoing) because a person likes to over share... or... spend 20min listening to a person jabber about this and that about their day/life when it really only requires a couple minutes to hash a deal. I understand they are trying to be cordial, but let's be real. I don't know you and we'll probably never cross paths again, so...

One of the biggest turn off's for me in a deal is when the sellers first response to any questions is, "here's my number, give me a call and I'll be happy to talk to you about it".
Moving on.... Next!!
So I would say.. "sack up and act like a man". It's not necessary to spend quality "girl time" bonding on the phone to do a deal. If you agree to a time and place, plan ahead with the details you'll need and simply show up at the time and place ready to do business.

The phone call is very rarely, if ever to your advantage as a seller.Totally agree. I don't give out my phone number. Also I don't want to spend an hour on the phone if it's unnecessary. If it's "call or no deal" I would chose no deal probably 100% of the time. Personal preference.
In Washington, yes.Slutty indeed....
In other news....it's fishing season.
I'm reading that trolling is becoming an increasingly popular form of fishing.
Especially so with some of the newer fisherman.
Question for the day....
Will a 10/22 with a 20 round mag be considered an assault weapon?
Most informative answer will earn the respondent a sexy training bra and an delightfully invasive thong.
