Disqualifier

Saw this text in a listing:

DO NOT REPLY TO THIS THREAD. DO NOT PM ME. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED YOU MUST CALL/TEXT ME xxx-xx-xxxx

So, no matter what happens if you try to make a deal with this seller you WILL NOT be able to leave bad feedback. It could be the best gun at the best price I've ever seen but I for one will not go down this road. Since a PM "trail" is necessary to validate a bad transaction happened, why is an ad like this allowed? Just posing the question...

Yep, no red flags there!

Armslist guy.

Nope, been here a while and has some positive feedback...

You can still leave negative feedback. It will just make it easier for him to dispute it.

I've read many times that negative feedback will be removed "automatically" without a PM audit trail so what's the point?

I had the same problem. I got a negative feed back because a guy thought I was going to trade him a kimber pro raptor for a ruger sr1911!!!! He claimed we had a deal and I sold to someone else lol the only thing close to a deal we had was talking about him adding cash.... No "I'll take it" no "let's meet" no "where you want to meet"!

If you were making that deal, I got an old Sears shotgun that won't extract the spent that I will give you for a new Citori.

Negative feedback only gets removed if the recipient contests it. Once that happens a SuperMod will sort through your PM's and if there's no agreed upon time and date set in your PM's the negative will then get removed. It isn't "automatically" removed...only if contested.

At least get the confirmation pm or pass on the deal

It is highly recommended that when you have gotten all terms worked out you send a confirmation PM that lists all the details of the deal and then save the response you get. This way if you need to leave a negative later the details of the deal will be indisputable by the other party. This also covers you for deals where the details were worked out on the phone or over email/text messages, as they are not “admissible” in itrader court
