One Purpose of Private Messaging

[NY63]

When a member posts an item for sale it is implied that he would like to be contacted via private message. In some cases he will even state in his ad that interested parties should make offers by PM.

Like everyone here, I was a FNG too, but I sure as heck didn't make a stupid low-ball offer as a reply to the OPs ad.

And before all the low-ball people go crazy, I'm talking about offering 25% off what is already a reasonable price for a new gun. We all know that offer will not be taken seriously.

It doesn't bother me. I just take it as a free bump.

Yep

How much was the item? Because "reasonable price" on ODT could mean a police trade in, lnib, Glock 22, no box, 1 mag for $500.

Yeah, I know. My definition of "reasonable" for a new firearm is about 5-10% under retail. I'm not talking about what flippers charge for used Glocks, M&P's, Sigs, etc.

Free bump away, I don't care. Offer 50% my asking price...no skin off my back.

Seriously, why do people get so offended if someone offers 50% less than what you are asking for it?

You guys obviously have not been taught the great art of negotiations/bartering. You would lose your **** if you ever went to a Thailand market. Lowballing and insulting each other is part of the "game".

I've had some lowballers get mad when I didn't take their offer.

Guy wanted to trade me an Xd in 357sig for a rifle package worth $700 .

I said how much boot you got and he got all bent out of shape ........ Kinda funny and I lol'd a little :8)
