Anyone ever had trouble with the classifieds on THF?

I like your reply

It was as nice as I could make it without getting on his level...I mean, how can you be selling something and not expect questions.

His reaction alone makes me think, now, that it is not as advertised...stupid

You know, I was actually starting to think it was me...I mean, most of the time it is but come on

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.

Stuff like that is where the 100 posts minimum came from too many jackass's out there. Oh, and your questions seem legitimate to me.

Problem is, I only have 50 post...lol but I am trying to buy, not sell...anyways, I just was a bit suprised by the response.

So I am curious as to if it is just me or the people, the market...I don’t know

So there was a guy posting a .44 mag raging bull, he wanted $500 o.b.o I send him a PM offering $450 because I know that the .454 goes for $500-$600 from what I have seen. He replies back "$475 and I will consider" which I agree too due to the fact that it is $25. He then proceeds to post my offer on the public side in the ad asking for someone to come up with more...I felt this was a dick move but whatever, I want the gun.

Well, he gets all pissy when I cant meet him on the fly this past Saturday night (my wife’s b-day) and sells it on Tue morning before I could get to him. NP, but I felt like it was a bit of a dick move.

Then, I find a .357 I felt interested in, good price, so I PM the guy and ask him how long he had owned the gun (it appeared old) and how many rounds down the pipe. All legit questions to me but I guess not to him. He never replied and removed himself from the conversation.

Finally, today I see a Ruger GP-100 6'' .357 NIB for $475, I start to look at the pictures and notice a decent drag line around the cylinder. So instead of PM'ing, I asked in the ad: "Did you purchase this at the gun show (I was thinking a lot of people may have been dry firing it hence the drag line)? Is it NIB or LNIB as there is a drag line around the cylinder although I do see that according to your add, it is NIB."

This is the PM he sent me:

Seriously?? I always post stuff on here as new and unfired just so jack holes like you will come on here and question it!!!! I would never do that to you or any one else on here and if i did have a question like that i would pm you. I don't lie when it comes to selling my firearms or anything else I post on here and have never had an issue with any one on here that I have sold something to or traded with.

Am I just coming across crazies or am I violating some rule that is not written in any of the forums rules? I don’t know but what the hell, I have money damnit and I want some guns and apparently, since I am not just all "oh noezzz bamma is takin ma guns, let me run out and pay asking price on everything" I cant buy any


Sorry for the rant but I am trying to find out what is going on and damnit, this is frustrating
