Another douche added to my ignore list.

Have learned from c listers that people who only text are not to be trusted,my ads on there say NO TEXTS!,but they do It anyway, if you text back calls only,you will not hear anything back

You can negotiate thru texts but I don't move unless I have a confirm PM or he's know or well established.
 
I got sniped on a deal the other day. Was talking a trade + cash deal late one night and the seller asked me to text him. It was 1am, so i told him via PM I'd hit him in the morning. Another guy came in with a cash offer the next morning before time and place was set up. Seller told me it was more of what he was looking for, and gave me a shot to match the cash offer first. I appreciated that he thought about my offer being matched first rather than the BS story of "my wife locked the safe" or something.

Win some, you lose some I guess.
 
I just dealt with someone recently here, all on text, as he put his phone in the ad- no pm's. We spoke, he offered me a price for his pistol, of which I agreed to buy. I told him I will be back in town in a few days as I was out on a family emergency and if he could wait, which he also agreed to.

Then, the next day, he texts me and says a screw is broken/stripped and did not feel comfortable selling me the pistol. Then exactly minutes after he texted this to me, he texts another member here (who graciously provided this correspondence), saying my deal fell through, and he could meet him within 2 hours to sell the pistol. You guessed it, the seller got $50 more from the next buyer.

Then to add insult to injury, I texted the seller 4 days later asking him what he decided to do on the pistol, and the lying POS texted me that the pistol is at the gunsmith awaiting repair.

Since all of this was via text, not PM's, and without a confirmed meeting date/time, my scathing negative was removed by the mods. Would you want to deal with this liar if he comes up with more for sale items?

All for $50, this member loses his dignity and credibility forever.

apparently the guy maintains his 100% rating by only dealing over text message...i've had people refuse to deal any other way and it makes me think they are up to something as pm is here to protect buyer and seller so no real reason not to use it...

Screen shot the texts and attach them in a PM conversation with the other party involved. Have him acknowledge them and you should be protected.

good idea.That should be a requirement of trading on here is that you use the PM system or get the **** out
 
Geezus, this tired old rant again? This is an insult to other threads in "The Pasture".

Move along folks.......there's nothing to see here.
