There's one guy on here, he thinks his **** is gold. Literally tried to do a trade with him one time for literally what he was asking for, it was a Glock for a Glock but he wanted cash and me drive to his front door
I don't believe it.
I mean, someone talked about you driving to his door, and no mention of hookers?
 
I do way more trades than straight up buy or sale.
My gun hobby is just that, a hobby, and I try to replace what I’m done with with something else. I don’t really look to make any money.
If I get cash, it may disappear before I buy something else.
 
Lets say you have Item A for 400 dollars. I see you are looking for XYZ as a possible trade option. I state I have XYZ with a break down of say 1300, Would you be interested. They say yes, but send pics (pretty standard, but ok dig around to find current pics) and "what are you thinkiing".

Well say your item is 400 mine is 1300 = 900, but how about 800 + trade.


Send it back to the person, you hear nothing you wait a day follow up and still here nothing.

I have had this happen multiple times, from members with lots of feedback. I always feel like its polite to respond to others offers/trades even low ones as a nice southern thing.
The difference between men and flakes. My personal favorite (2 days after a deal was struck) “Sorry bruh, didn’t realize muh wife already ordered one from Amazon. My bad.”
