Pretty sure this has been discussed before…

Reminding folks that you’ll put it back in the closet of your singlewide or “I know what I got” “rare” etc. are just the used car salesmen of firearms gimmicks. Anything of value that’s reasonably priced will have a buyer. But most buy junk and want to re-sail cause they want something else. I’ve bought a sightron scope a toreass and other hot garbage but I don’t run to odt to pawn my mistakes off at top dollar to decent folks.

Years ago I found an old range Rover for one of my kids. It needed work but my son loved it. The plan was to complete the transaction at his return from a holiday weekend so I got the cash on Friday and waited for his call. I started calling around noon on Monday (maybe Labor Day) and left messages. Finally around 6 he called and said he changed his mind. I was pretty much pissed but there wasn't anything I could do as it was Craigslist. About a month later he called me wanting to know if I was still interested. I am guessing the wife said get that beater out of the garage. With great joy I told him I bought a nicer Range Rover for the same money and GLWS.

I worry when they say it's "Modified" or "Gucci"

That or “Decked Out”.

…but just saw another dreaded “back in the safe” threat.
Has that ever worked? I mean you’re thinking … yes… no .. maybe.. on a purchase, then you see the possibility of that gat being snatched back to anonymity to reside in a dark, dusty safe for the foreseeable future? Then you crack open your wallet to rescue it?
I usually just laugh and move on, figuring those guys also “know what I’ve got” in that “rare, hard to find”, “LNIB” iteration of the gunmaker’s art, and aren’t willing to negotiate.
What say the great unwashed ODT?

OK, so put it back in the safe.....You know you want to....

well....you don't always find your buyer on the first go round, however you certainly will not find it in the closet....I don't understand why you have to tell everybody....just put it back in your closet, and keep your mouth shut....also like "last chance"....really???

As we all know if you put a gun up for sale on here with a reasonable price someone will buy it.

some guns do not appeal to all folks....I've got a Smith 52-2 listed.....it's at a very good price....BUT not everybody wants a .38 wad cutter....it may take a while to find the person....

The new term is "scarce".

I've come to the conclusion half these mutha****as don't own a safe
