  1.

    Ammo at Adv. Outdoors - INSANE!!!

    Never been, probably never will, but I guess I know where to go if I absolutely NEED some.

  2. Members only wants to deal over the phone!!

    I have made deals via telephone, but usually in circumstances where a confessed "Old Fogey" (their words, not mine) just liked doing business via voice (started via PM first then transitioned). That being said, all deals were confirmed via documentable (is that even a word) means such as ODT PM...

  3. Why so many locked threads?

    Too many people that clog up the ad because they don’t know how to use the PM system. Dunno. Maybe? I see free bumps, every single one of them.

  4. ... just a lower class of trader lately?

    I’ve never ghosted or been ghosted. Sure, some people have been a few minutes late, but always good communication to let the other party know there’s slow drivers on the roadways. I feel bad for pulling out of a deal a couple days ago, but I wrote that I was changing my mind and gave the reasons...

    List one price.....then bait n switch for more (is this a permanent thing on ODT?)

    Short answer: integrity has gone out the window. And they act as though you're the rude/crazy one.

  6. Am I missing something?

    Ha. Like I said. I don’t care, really... supply and demand, I get it. If he can get far north of MSRP, then more power to him. There’s a sucker born every day (and I can say with almost absolute certainty, that I have been that sucker a time to two).

  7. Am I missing something?

    No problem with capitalism... if they can get it, then more power to ‘em. Just curious if that was it, or if I wasn’t aware of something. Guess it shouldn’t surprise me anymore with 9mm plinking starting to sell for around $0.40 ppr.

  8. Am I missing something?

    Ha. Guess it just gets more and more ridiculous all the time. I’m out of popcorn, too.

  9. Am I missing something?

    $3k for a stock DDMV5? And not from a newbie member, either. Have DD rifles become collectibles or did someone at DD die or do these shoot rainbows now or did the ATF ban every manufacturer except certain ones?

  10. CL scammers....

    Sorry to hijack, but got me all worked up thinking of scams.

  11. CL scammers....

    I’ve now had two letters faxed to my work/office fax from a legit law firm/attorney in Canada peddling some Nigerian-like life insurance payout scam. What the hell?

  12. New members who don't like to PM

    I think in our current state of tech/texting/immediate communication gratification, people don’t want to wait for PMs. I have no problem taking the discussion to text and use my google voice number for these purposes, but I will snap screenshots and paste them to the PM for proof of deal details...

  13. "

    Been there, done that. Earned my Eagle while stationed overseas, where it was still a good, old-fashioned experience. Came stateside, joined up and eventually became a junior scoutmaster at 18. Then started to see the infiltration and problems. Called it quits a year after and haven't looked...

  14. New members during these chaotic and trying times...

    Update: still haven’t heard back :rolleyes:

  15. New members during these chaotic and trying times...

    Agree. I was approached by a 0/0 without any posts or anything, and I went ahead and asked about his residency and CWL status. Even floated transferring through an FFL where I’d cover his fees. Just wondering if I’m being too cautious. I’m all about CYA. PS - he hasn’t answered me back.

  16. New members during these chaotic and trying times...

    So... I'll preface this by saying that I was hyper-vigilant yesterday (in particular) because our neighborhood gets pretty consistent traffic (we're a closed tucked-in area with only one road in/out), and with everything going on downtown plus social media traffic about taking protests/riots to...

  17. Sellers not wanting to ship

    Cool with shipping good unless someone expects Amazon prime, free 2-day service. It's well worth the savings in the hassle of travel, and goes a long way towards helping each other out to work around our busy schedules; even though I haven't met a deplorable from here that I didn't like (and...

  18. Selling / Trading to new members

    Had a 0/0 feedback newbie offer me $500 for a $600 post. I offered to meet halfway at $550. He took the discussion to text (which I don’t care about as long as final verification recorded through PM). He didn’t agree to the halfway offer, but said he’d give me $30 more if I brought it to him...

  19. Inconsistencies in trades...

    Agreed to a trade Easter Sunday, just needed to finalize day and time. Asked availability... crickets. He relisted it at some point after our discussion because his previous follow-up posts were gone and listing time was refreshed. Next day later I asked if we were still good (and asked a...

  20. Why do people expect delivery of items ?

    Same. Most of my dealings for firearms have been trades, and for those, by and large, both parties generally agree to meet halfway for the longer distances. As far as someone wanting to buy something, I expect them to come to me, or at least to a place that may be more convenient, but of my...
