Research the seller. Know where he posts on the forum. The classified cowboys will be like 90% classified for sale posters.
These are the hondlers that will hang it in your ass if given half a chance.

I’ve purchased one scope. M8 compact custom shop.

The members that only post in the classifieds will never get my money.

That thought has occurred to me. If I were ever to do business here, it would be with 'long-time' members.

I've purchased plenty of scopes with the idea that sooner or later they'll have a home.

I've directed quite a few friends to stuff they were looking for,mostly guns and optics.

Nabbed a few knives made by Gene and Charlie rather than waiting my turn.

If you're into stuff they no longer make, like say New Haven M-70's, you have to find them where they are. The only way to do that is to look.

I don’t like to see a new poster starting out on the classifieds. They need to become known, then use that service.

The classifieds are a privilege. I buy from those I recognize.

Really? If it were a privilege Rick would make it such me thinks.

I've bought a few guns, because I got a good deal on a scope and hated to see it sitting on the shelf all by itself....

Well, to me it's a privilege.

We all use this site, including the Classified for free, just have to look a some pop ups... blush

Tolerate a few trolls... frown

But we get lots of good info, meet some real Loonies, some who got it worse than us... shocked
