rules on “I’ll take it”

[Fatal_Bert]

I’ve also seen where some one calls dibs and the expects the seller to drive two hours to them at the same price listed.

Yep, they'll post "I'll take it" in the thread. Then message you "do you ever travel to Atlanta?"

You d gotta realize you are not the only person that wants certain guns. And even if something says a price. If someone else wants it and sees you said you’ll take it. They will offer me and the seller will take that over u. Just for the pure fact he’s thinking your locked in at the posted price. That’s why if you really want something you PM

Oh No,are you saying shenanigan's are going on? An auction is taking place? DJD

As with a lot of things around here, it's covered in the Rules & Guidelines: https://www.theoutdoorstrader.com/help/rules/

Specifically, “I’ll take it” means nothing unless the thread starter says it does, and even then we do not enforce it, it just isn’t feasible.

If the 2 parties had any integrity it meant something. Integrity is in VERY short supply around here

Yes sir, I learned that one the hard way.

“I’ll take it” in the ad or pm is meaningless. If I’m selling, there are so many factors I consider re who I’m willing to sell to. E.g, do I know you?, do I like you or think you are a d-bag?, how long you been a member?, where and when you are willing to meet?, is there any possibility you are a libtard?

Lots of factors and the words “I’ll take it” are not on the list. I do, however, believe that all PMs deserve the courtesy of a response. But I rarely, if ever, respond to posts in my ads.

Well it happened to me even after everything was in a PM and after a meet( the guy badgered me to meet on Christmas, I did and he said it wasn't as pretty as the picture was. I neg him and it was taken down. Wasted my time from the family for his bull shyte If I tell you I'll take it, I'm a man of my word which to me means everything. That's when my faith in the system of moderators went out the door. They don't know every situation like they think. They're no better than I am.

Would you take two-fiddy? (Not really interested in buying, just being a dick).

Twice this past month I was first to post “I’ll take it” only to have it sold to someone else.
What is the ODT guidance on this?
Thanks in advance.

You only take it if you BID high enough.
