Why do people expect delivery of items ?

[RevCov]

they think they are negotiating...they have no clue how to research a value nor what the actual value might be...they figure no matter how good the number is their number sounds better to them..

Exactly! Learned my lesson. I relisted at $400 so when somebody sends me their "best offer" I have some chance of getting what I need out of it.

Usually this stuff doesn't bother me but this time it did. In my tenure on ODT I have 3 times listed Glocks for great prices and everytime it was Neckbeard Paradise. I swear I think youre better off listing crazy high and taking a low ball on it.

If the item is too far away I usually wipe a tear away and look some more...haven't see a good enough deal lately to warrant driving 4hrs round trip

I’ve always tried to be fair and reasonable, but that’s me.

Prices here are at or above retail. Delivery is expected at that price point.

Just recently listed here and a guy low balled me for about half of what I was asking....and asked me if I was willing to meet him 30 miles away to meet him. I took a deep breath and responded....NO!
I looked at his profile nd he was about 25 years old...go figure
BTW: I listed my item for a quick sales price to boot.

I don't understand how some people can be bold enough to ask for so much. I drove two hours one way to make a purchase yesterday. It was a great deal so I was willing to make the trip. Never thought of asking him to lower it even more just because I lived so far from him.

Back in the distant past, 2011, I learned this philosophy upon which I still generally insist:
If I’m buying, I come to you.
If you’re buying, you come to me.
If we’re trading, we meet somewhere about halfway between.

Any other arrangements can be discussed via pm but I have to be convinced of a compelling reason to alter these guidelines. If that means no deal, so be it. Another gun or buyer will come along. On that I am certain.

Always the first pm I get, “you ever make it up to Atlanta?”
