Please Vote - Considering Major Changes for Classifeds

[Mirvin 264]

I've never, ever done this. You could offer me three times what I originally agreed to accept from the first taker and you are just going to be too late. Anyone who does otherwise quite frankly is a LOSER and I would never deal with them again. Just one man's opinion.

Neither have I, my word is still my bond, but sadly it's becoming a norm on here. Signs of the times........

Do you want this site to be quality, with the majority of deals being good deals, or do you just want it to become like most gun shows selling the same old **** for 15% over MSRP?

While paying to be a member, no less.

It’s a simple question.

Nobody is forcing you to take the deals you don't like. I list stuff all the time that quite frankly are outstanding deals and they sit, well guess what, they weren't outstanding enough. Supply and demand will take care of itself, quit trying to regulate your way in to a stable market place.

This thread has the largest collection of Republican/Libertarian/right leaning ANTI-CAPITALISTS I've ever seen.

I'd pay extra to shut up glock haters. Upgrades have value....go back to your sewing circle to *****.

GLOCKS cost too much

Socialists you mean, always wanting something for "free", causing others to have to cover the costs..........

The "overpriced stuff in classifieds is none of your business" argument is false.
If the classifieds section goes downhill, people will stop browsing there, new people won't sign up and create an account, overall traffic to the site will drop, and then the quality of the postings and discussion that goes on outside of the classifieds will be hurt too.

If the items are selling they arent overpriced. If they are overpriced the item sits there until the seller lowers the price or removes the listing. Pretty simple stuff.

I can tell you on nearly every single occasion that I've listed an item, I am willing to take less for it. But I almost never get anyone that attempts to make an offer. I would say of those that make an offer I sell 80% of them to the first guy that reaches out.

Hell I had a gun on here that was cheaper than you could buy anywhere else by a significant amount, brand new in box. The guy kept trying to make offers because he just didn't have the money but he really wanted it. After the fourth or fifth time of him reaching out trying to make something work, I just gave the damn thing to him. Moral of the story:
The worst they can say is "no."

Anybody else keep changing their votes back and forth because of the compelling arguments so far?

I guess I should have included the sarcasm emoji with this....

I think @VHinch just saved @JWC 10 bucks...

That's often true. In any discussion, though, it's highly useful if not imperative to define the terms in use. The examples given of x% above MSRP is quite clear (as well as utterly ridiculous in practice) while "crap deals" is subjective - in either direction - defined more or less by individual expectation. Sometimes expectations are simply out of touch with reality. I don't see a problem with pointing that out.

And that's all we are really talking about. There is no way to "enforce prices" nor do I think that we should. But when someone's ad is clearly out of whack, I don't think it is wrong to point it out without a mod giving you a warning.

Yep, it’s the way I was raised. A deal is a deal, a handshake is a contract. I have been stiffed several times on here but they didn’t break the rules so nothing can be done. You can ignore them....and I do.
