Anyone ever had trouble with the classifieds on THF?

I've generally had good experiences buying off of THF, but like any other public forum you will have random assholes and flakes.

Aint that the truth...lol

in forums where you become 'reputable' because of post counts just go find the jokes and politics and do some 'lol's and 'aint that the truth' posts and magically you become somebody

Aint that the truth!

I like to ask a lot of questions. The best deals I got were from becoming to annoying but only one taking interest. Price came down just so I couldn't say no and the seller wouldn't have to answer anymore questions. Works great.

Just a few tips I've learned to get good deals. The better the deal, the less likely you'll get it if you ask a lot of questions. Some of the best deals I've gotten were on weapons that had no pictures a shitty description and weird shitty e-mails.

LOL Perfect!!!

Just like the stock market, always a gamble

I see it as in the end, my money is not hurting to stay in the wallet.
But CJ, this is what I was concluding in my experience, especially in times of urgency as it seems so many people are in right now.

$475 is a good deal I assume, never owned or bought a GP-100

Though I was eyeing that .500 you just picked up the other day, just got too it first damnit

Gun owners and enthusiasts are a weird bunch of people. A large majority of them are very suspicious of people and abstract questions. Although I think a lot of your questions are completely relevant, it seems you're trying to get a bargain on a particular gun. I would caution you on how you approach deals that are really good. Ask too many questions and you're the guy that doesn't get a response. If I get 10 messages on an item, and 6 of them are asking questions about cylinder marks or scratches, and 3 of them are asking if I can come down on price, the 1 guy that says "Where can we meet up." is going to be the only one that gets a reply. Just remember - you're always going to see the gun in person, and that's the best time to see if you can get him to make a concession - but only if he has misrepresented the item. Whenever I see a good deal, and I know it's a good deal, I'm always the one that has cash in hand waiting for a time and place to meet. More often than not it will work. If you're buying a gun for a premium or a going rate, that's the time to ask questions.

HAHA boy he sure replied with a back handed apology didn't he

Lol, passive aggressive I belive...

Like a little girl or something...

"Well my apologies if I was wrong but it felt like it to me. I would not post something on here and say it was unfired if it was not unfired or say it was NIB if it was not.

Mods if you want to close the thread I understand. If not I will just keep the gun since the cylinder has been turned.

LOL aka, I am going to take my toy somewhere else where I will get what I want...

Anyways, thanks again for the reassurance, I was hoping it wasn’t me this time....lol

how's that for a set up for your reply on THF

[Gtracer]

Only had one problem. I had a 1911 for sale with a bunch of detailed photos. Guy in Dallas said he wanted it, so I drove from Waco to Dallas to meet him. He saw it and looked it over, then said "this isn't really what I am looking for".

Basically I drove for 3 hours round trip for no reason. That sucked.

Yeah, F a bunch of that...did you say anything to him?
