Here on the Campfire it used to be where friends would buy, sell, and trade between each other. We were hunters and shooters who helped each other out.
Have you noticed Classifieds have been taken over by people who do nothing but post on Classifieds. They offer NOTHING else to this site. They do not contribute any hunting or shooting knowledge.
They are here for only one reason. To make a buck $$$ off legitimate members.
These people are your "gun show" people. These same people are the ones who horde and drive up prices. Who try to take advantage of the hunters and shooters who are here sharing information with each other.
Just to note, I will comment on their pricing.
And, just my opinion, I am not asking anyone to agree with me. We don't need them.

WE don't need people who are rude by trashing other people's ads either.

Sounds like a bunch of whining to me Bob.
The 375 H&H you commented on as being "overpriced" is a bargain, and the seller is a great friend of mine who has taught me a ton about hunting and shooting.
Get over it.

I read the postings in the other sections of 'Fire and every once in a while I will post there. But, I don't often.
I do post fairly often in the classifieds but my wife will happily tell you that I'm not making any bucks on any of the stuff I end up selling.

No, Tanner,
I'm not going to get over it.
If the price is cheaper somewhere else I'll show it.

The classifieds section needs no additional regulation or policing. Honest folks are rather astute assessing wares and sellers on a case-by-case basis. Let's not go and cock it up in the name of 'good'.

Good luck. And maybe you missed the part where dies, components, and shipping are included. Either way, you're far off line schitting on his thread. Tanner

Who cares if someone only posts in just the classifieds? I think most people that shop here know a good deal or a scam when they see it.
Last thing we need is more moderation.
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

Well, it's great to have members who post here across the spectrum, but it's a free site and country, and your trashing of a classified gun listing is low rent...

gee...I had a list of 30 personal guns to get rid of, now I guess they will go to auction. Not that I want to get rid of them but medical bills after insurance force it.
SU35, ever have cancer in your head? I'll teach you about it. Loss of one eye, loss of some vision in other, loss of hearing one side, no stamina, vertigo problems. That affects all hunting I do or will do.
Some shooting knowledge: Don't stand in front of the muzzle. Some hunting knowledge: To much noise ruins the hunt.
I set prices as a starting point, counter offers can always be made. If you don't like the prices don't buy. Don't piss and moan about them either.
I hope I don't piss on your fire....too much. Just my opinion.

Well......I post on other forums here and try to sell stuff here, too. Lord knows I've bought more than my share off the classifieds here.
But after I give 24hr members first chance at my stuff for sale, I may post it on a few other sites. Sold a lot of stuff lately on other sites when it wouldn't sell here.
But do I contribute in other forums besides the classifieds forum on the other sites??
NO.
I think some of the posting here where the member doesn't contribute elsewhere may be the same circumstance as mine on other sites.
But go ahead and do whatever floats your boat. Free country, but you should expect some backlash as has already happened.
