Is this a doomsday question???

[Bama21]

About 5 to 6 times within the last couple of months, while discussing a possible deal with another forum member, the question was posed from me to them, "what kind of deal did you have in mind?" Funny thing happened, they vanished from the planet?

My question, is that phrase a deal killer? If so, why, it's just a freaking question. I can not wrap my head around it.

Furthermore, these forum members collectively have been on here for a while with multiple to numerous positive deals completed (all positive feedbacks).

Either that has happened, or people have made serious inquiries about an item posted and when I answered the questions, they vanish??? Crickets, nada, no further communication???

Just curious if these things have happened to other members. I obviously enjoy discussing hunting, trading knives and firearms related items, heck fire...that's why we are all here so I thought.

End of rant

Maybe sounds to them like you might possibly be propositioning them to trade sex for your item?
LOL

Rotflol! Interesting take on the question, but that ain't what I had in mind.

Some folks just lack communication skills or they didn't get permission from their husbands before contacting you.

I really have no idea. Doesn’t make sense to me

You shouldn’t have asked that !!
Next, there will be black Lincolns pulling up and guys in suits and sunglasses will come take you away !!

I'm shocked that you're just now running into this at 198 deals. I've done way less deals than you and I've had it happen to me many times.

"what kind of deal did you have in mind?" One in my favor, duh...

When someone asks me what kind of deal I had in mind it usually ends at a dumpster behind the wafflehouse.

I have had the same thing happen numerous times they respond making what you think is a offer but to be sure you ask what do you have in mind and they either want boot or go silent, just recently I had a offer on something I currently have listed the other Trader offer's something if I could add something with it I asked him what he had in mind I did get a response from the other trader it was I don't know, man just make a clear honest offer put your cards on the table and let's see what happens, ok I'm done now
