Anyone ever had trouble with the classifieds on THF?

But like CJ said... if it's what you want and really only something out of whack that would scare you away, then you say "I'll take it, when can we meet?"

Not necessarily. I won't jump at the "where can we meet" emails any more due to this:

I was selling my Bull upper 16" AR-15 and had lots of "will you take $xxx.00 for it?" emails.

The email I settled on and contacted the guy was "Hey, I like the way it looks, can you meet off I-30 somewhere, I live in Greenville. If so I'll take it"

So I drive from Keller to Lone Star Park and meet this guy who never gave any indication he wanted a cheaper price or anything. We get there, he looks at it and starts to do what I call the "maaaan, that's nice but will you take WAY less for it" dance.

I eventually came down $80 on the rifle just because I had already driven there and wasted my time on this douche...so just because they say I'll take it with no other input, doesn't mean they agreed on the price. From now on I will send a follow up text/email saying "and it's for $xxx.00, in case you missed the price". It generally flushes their intentions out.

I've never had any major issues, it maybe just how you're posting that comes off offensive. Hard to say.

I usually at least get some sort of courtesy response.

Bought a few items. Never had any issues.

[goofygrin]

- questioning the item => PM
- asking details that are relavent to others (ie location, age, round count, price, etc.) => public

But like CJ said... if it's what you want and really only something out of whack that would scare you away, then you say "I'll take it, when can we meet?"

Ive had good luck buying on there. If someone is asking a bunch of questions in a way I remotely consider annoying, that message gets deleted. Ain't nobody got time for that!

exactly, usually I'll answer a few depending on how much interest there is. If it's a good price then I just answer the serious buyers.
