Joined up a week or so ago, and been overwhelmed with the marketplace; however, I've been a bit disconcerted at comments like the following:

"If new member or with to many bad reviews will probably not respond back . Sorry" Okay, bad reviews I can see, I probably wouldn't respond either, but new members ? How do new members get to be old timers that way ?? So much for that Glock . . .

And this one: "I will only sell to members of ODT with positive feedback." . . . so much for new members. Scratch that Glock, too.

Then this one: "Traders with less than +15 positive or any negative feedback are encouraged to just move along. Sorry."

What is it with those selling Glocks ?? Having said that, those with whom I have corresponded with on this site have been very polite, profession and cordial. Those folks I thank for the welcome, and I'll be glad to trade with them.
 
An influx of super flaky new guys over the past couple years has soured many to them on this site, including me. I don’t completely discard them, but they are getting worse in my experience. (10+ years here)

I will add that as of recent some of the old guard has been rather flaky too.

Stick around and you will make some deals. Most guys here are stand up. We have some good times.

Oh, and welcome!

The only bad deal I've ever made here was with a brand new poster listing his first 22 rifle for sale for 350.00. I never squabbled with him about the price. We agreed where to meet (1 1/2 hours away for my drive. I called him when I was about 20 minutes away and got the bulll**** story about him being in a wreck and the police were there and he couldn't talk yada yada yada......he'd call me back when the police got through writing their report........wasted more time with the new kid on the block and tried to call him back and he was ignoring my calls.......when I got back home 1 1/2 later he already had a great feedback story from his Buddy that he sold the rifle to after we make the deal. I will not but from a newby on here unless they drive to my town. Also I put this out there too.......the younger they are the less likely they are to honor their word. Just like this new kid on the block proved.

Welcome! We have seen a rash of scammers lately and everyone is getting a little skeeved out buy enticing adds with a unreal price only to find out that it's a bogus add. It's not your fault but if you happen to send funds before you meet that would help. Just until you get your feet planted. However you might be the one getting scammed. Or you could offer to drive to them real close to there home. That would prod them into attempting making the deal. I know it's a hassle but you have to put yourself in their shoes for a minute. You might have to go the extra mile for your first couple of trades or purchases. Just to get your feet planted. Once you meet a good veteran member he will probably vouch for you.
Good luck and enjoy the site. Be careful to abide by the rules or you will find yourself setting in the clink for a couple days.
