Why Are So Many Selling or WTB On The Site?

[Darqhelmet]

I want to ask some people that have 7+ pages of bumps why. Now they may be talking to people in PM which I have had happen a bunch and the deal falls through or doesn’t work out so keep bumping. But join the site, have 300ish posts and the posts are just “bump”….

I've had a member here try to spring that crap on me once. Didn't work out as he planned.

What if he wanted to mail you a thank you card? Now he can’t.

Bwhaaaaaaa remember a few years ago there was a lot of arguments about it

You just need something to prove you’re a TX resident and nothing obvious that make you “appear” as a felon right (like wearing a oj jumpsuit)?

I don’t know what the minimum proof of residency is, or even if there’s a duty of sellers to do X,Y,Z.

Maybe look at DL if it’s clear they’re not 21 and it’s a handgun sale.

Recall reading someone wanted a BOS and DL to buy a shotgun because they’re an ADA. Being an attorney doesn’t raise your burden of proof unless I’m mistaken.

where do you get the idea you need proof the buyer is a TX resident unless you are buying in a store ?

if you read the law it says you cant have knowledge the buyer is not a resident. If you don't ask you can't know.

So its only a moral question for the seller on what he thinks is the correct thing to do.

My understanding has always been that you don’t need to ask if it’s private sale.

But look at the WTS posts and you’d think you need a photo copy of your DL and CHL to provide to your private ftf sale of a long gun.

Only have to be 18 to buy a handgun in a private sale in Texas .

They add complications because some people think you need to complicate life to keep yourself safe from the boogie man.

Bump

 

[candcallen]

Everyone should use a BOS that way it protects both the buyer and seller

Oh no you didnt!

I'm going to pretend I didn't see it.

So, he added the pic of rear sight area.
Also dropped price back down to $1800.

 

[Vaquero]

I just doesn't matter.

 

[Hoji]

So, he added the pic of where the rear sight area. used to be.
Also dropped price back down to $1800.

You would think they would get the message that either no one is interested, or it's priced way too high.

Still too high. Needs to drop it at least another $800, and even then would still be a little on the optimistic side. I looked on GB yesterday, and there were some just as nice but complete that we’re selling for less. I even included shipping and FFL fees

Sigh...

Here we go again...

Yeah, I know. Perhaps we can return to the reason the thread was started?

Here's my current new posts page. Is the presence of 3 ads really getting in the way of using the forum? I know some dealers will list multiple items at the same time and the page will suddenly be half ads but those situations are transitory. This is more or less what I usually see. Is it really so bad or am I just trying to draw conclusions from an incomplete data set? Also, is it somehow worse when using a phone or Tapatalk to view the forum?

You're way more generous than me. Missing sight, incorrect grips, clearly has been fired, no paperwork or box. Very maximum amount I would pay would be $600, after a very careful inspection.

Seller is smoking crack if he think's he's going to get $1800.
