You want to BUY my gun but....

[lftd&pwrstrok'n]

Personally, I have to factor the cost of fuel into the deal. Too many times I have driven half way (or more) across the state for a meet and used a tank of diesel. 8 mpg doesn't get me far. I do not offer any less for an item, I just don't offer to buy it. In trades, I have refused or tried to work the cost of fuel into the deal. But, if I am paying damn near retail for a gun and then have to factor $75 in fuel in to the total cost; if I decide to sell 2 weeks later I am in the hole overall. I am not a wealthy man and can not afford to lose money too often or I wouldn't be able to do this hobby.

You make no money. The ATF is watching you.

Stand by your price. If they really want it, they'll pay for it.

I don't make money, but I can try to break even. No rules about not losing money. Trust me, overall, I am way upside down!!

you don’t want to give my price because you have to use your gas on coming to get it? I don’t get how that drops the value of my weapon. The gas wasn’t included in the asking price EX: price set at 600 gets me “550 if you meet halfway, 600 if you come to me” someone explain to me how this works...

A creative negotiator would offer $625 if you could cover $40 for gas.

Left Newnan w/ a full tank and had to stop on the way home for more But, well worth the trip. One day when I have something a bit better on mileage, I am going to come see you again.
