Ah, you again. Unsatisfied with spamming my ad, you've decided to pout in a thread of your own making.
Yeah, I have a rifle for sale. I posted the ad for it. The price is clearly listed and nowhere does it say the original cardboard box is included. He then sends me a PM asking "What is your current asking price?" Either he mean to ask something to the effect of 'What's the best price you're willing to sell it at?' or he genuinely didn't read the ad I posted; I just quoted him the price I had listed in the ad as a response. If someone wants to make an offer they should just make an offer; I don't play the "Well what's the best price you can do so then I can try and get you even lower than that?" kind of games. He then comes back with "Your asking top dollar.", yes "your", and then suggested that the lack of the cardboard box it came in means it's not worth what I'm asking for it. That's his opinion; that's fine. Free country, free market, he doesn't have to buy the gun if he doesn't want to. However, with the way he worded his messages he came off as thought he were saying 'Because you don't have a piece of cardboard then you'd better be willing to accept way less than your asking price'. To be clear, he did not make any offers below my asking price, or at all, but that's the impression I was getting from him. In response I correct his grammar, I can be a smart***, and expressed that I don't agree with his opinion that a piece of cardboard or the lack thereof makes a significant difference in a gun's price.
So that should be the end of it, right? Nope. He then goes to my ad and types of a warning message essentially saying 'Watch out! This ad which says nothing about including the cardboard box doesn't include the cardboard box!" I don't put up with ****; I deleted the comment and private messaged him letting him know that I have the ability to remove such comments. I did so in a smart*** way because I can be a smart*** and his attitude thus far seemed worthy of it. His response? Post multiple more 'warning messages' on my ad. Wonderful. I delete those too and tell him to stop via PM. Then he makes this thread to pout somewhere that I can't delete what he says.
Again, if you think the dinky cardboard box makes that much of a difference then you're entitled to that opinion. You can try to use it as a negotiating tactic, not that it would work with me. If it's the difference between whether or not the sale happens then so be it. However, spamming my ad with pseudo-warning messages isn't acceptable.
