Well I suppose that would depend on how pretty the shells are.

Here's one that I enjoy: I paid 350 for my pistol, I have a holster I paid 50 for, an extra mag for 50 and some ammo for 50. So I will sell this pistol for 500. WRONG, it's used and I'll pay you 300 for it, sorry but your extra stuff goes with it. Same as a motorcycle, your bling doesn't mean anything.
SOL states a different personal preference than my own, with good justification.
I would not challenge his preference, but would challenge his evaluation that private offers somehow carry automatically a higher level of "gentlemanliness" than those made in the open.
I would reserve the benefits of privacy to the actual closing of the deal itself, where money/gun changes hands. NO reasonable offer (open or private) delivered courteously deserves any less respect or treatment than the other from me. (Unless of course, I had stated such beforehand.)
MY personal preference would be that the majority of deals be done out front and in the open, on the thread. This is no slight toward those with different preferences. My reasoning is somewhat selfish: I participate here largely for my own education. If the deal and bartering is done in the open on a gun for which I have moderate or serious interest (not necessarily directed toward purchase), I learn much more about the TRUE market value, than I would learn from an original asking price, and later, the thread marked "SOLD" (sprinkled with a number of "PM Sents").
Ive seen that alot lately, guy had a non working shotgun for 300, sxs, then said he wanted 600 trade value. Ridiculousness
when the seller asks for a pm, or a call, I try to comply. Making an offer is OK but if you want a quick response comply with the contact method the seller asks for. I see so many threads with the sellers phone number get bumped up after a year with a "Duh is dis still fur sale?" post, from a newbie with 3 posts.
