Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Beware of dealing with - deerhunterjj

Amen you said it perfect. Let it go and move on

I can understand a warning if someone flat out lied to you, but to me on this deal it just seems like the buyer was counting his chickens before they hatched, but I do not see where he mislead you in any way shape or form, and it has only been 2 days since you last heard from him.

I could understand if you sent the merchandise, and were expecting a payment, but as long as you still have it in your possesion I do not see a problem.

This is just my opinion YMMV.

Quote: Winnie1300 Yeah poor ethics, but do not get discouraged. The good people to trade with out weigh the bad.

It does'nt seem to be that way, If you read the replys on the thread, I'm in the wrong according to them.

I guess their is very few real people left : Winnie1300, 1minute, slumlord, Miss Lynn, Rock Chuck :)Thanks

I haven't read but a couple of these,but need to check my post count. Bob

What are you out other than time, the guy told you from the beginning he did not have the money right away, YOU agreed to hold it, he thought he had a deal, chit happens, for [bleep] sake stop being a gawddamn pussy.

The way I see it you are pissed at yourself for agreeing to something you knew you shouldnt have agreed to, and now you are trying to save face. Hell you posted your entire PM exchange. For [bleep] sake just relist the damn thing and wash the sand outta your crotch.

And another thing I don't post much but, I read alot and all over this form is b!tch, moans and complaints about this politician or that politician not doing what they said they were going to do and everybody on here is up in arms. Yet when some person gives his word and then does not follow through it is no biggy.
Well I think alot of you guys should start looking inside at your own ethics before you B!tch about the politicians. Because if we are not accountable for our own actions then how can we expect our politicians to be? It is a slippery road you drive.
Have a good night.

Bubbajay,
I'm in billings Mt. why don't you come on over and we will see who is a Pussy.

You should have just taken his gun for your gun straight across trade. That way is could have been immediate without delay. I don't believe in swapping dollars for goods in any way. Barter for your goods and cut out the middle men that hold the money.

what would that solve, you have more than likely spent more time on this thread trying to warn everybody about a guy that told you straight up from the beginning his purchase was dependant on the sale of his own rifle. His deal fell through, chit happens, it was completely spelled out in the pm's that you posted.

I have no reason to go to Billings, but if your feeling up to it I am at the expressway suites room 122 Bismarck ND.

I'm sorry Kinsman, can't see this as a reason to call a guy out. He explained his situation to you from the beginning. Relist the gun and move on. You're making this into an issue of "honor" and "morals". Where did he go wrong? He said he would like the gun but didn't have the money at the moment. You agreed to wait. He's kept you informed throughout, explaining that he was trying to get the money. You agreed to keep waiting, at any point you could have said enough. But instead you decide to b!tch about it publicly.

With any luck, one of them will buy your rifle so you can STFU. Honestly, if this is the worst transaction you ever have, you are truly blessed.

No harm, no foul.

So, we're all cool with posting PMs when nothing dastardly occurred?

I forget; is the "P" in PM for private or just personal?

Try again.

huh?

Well, they may be real, but are they turdlike? This is the question.

I guess I'm not real either. I can see why you are frustrated, but look it like this. He made you an offer that was clearly contingent on the sale of his gun. You accepted it, with that in mind. His gun sale hasn't consummated; he can't buy your rifle, but that's according to the framework you guys laid out.

Or so it appears to me. It doesn't seem to rate a public flogging.

Good luck selling your rifle!

I've heard that's common in real estate too.

It must be winter.

Ding ding ding ding ding!

Agreed.

If you don't like tradin' horses, don't horse trade.

The guy just could not raise the funds to buy. Sounds like he informed you of his inability to pay in a timely manner. It was a calculated decision on your part to hold it for a period of time. It has not worked out so just re-post it in the classifieds and move on. Sounds like his only crime is wanting something he is unable to pay for. He was even apologetic maybe even embarrassed.
