New, already dabbling in classifieds, running up post count with substance free posts and awkward use of language at times.

OK.

Why, does he do tricks? (Sorry couldn't resist the dad joke opportunity.)

You were new here only a year ago...

You thinking he's up to no good ? Scammer ? Awkward use of language ? Dabbling in the ads ?

Maybe I need another cup of coffee

So what? You an say that about many of the posters here with thousands of posts.

How is that different than anyone else on here?

Now we need a warning when the forum gets new guys? FFS, no wonder this place went to hell.

A new guy calling out a newer guy
Fugin drama queen. SMFH

I wanted to buy the ruger security six in the classys, but the seller is new and the only feedback is from an also new member who just happened to write a glowing review of the other new guy.

I've done hundreds of deals here and don't recall ever saying my buyer or seller was good or bad....and in those deals, I've had one deal that wasn't glass smooth....and it was easy to work out, nothing that required some "feedback".

But.....I figured anyone paying attention to all of the tells on that ad would trigger similar awareness, or they're in a spot where a bum deal won't hurt too bad.

I would expect anyone considering doing business with me (if I did it here, and I don't/haven't) to exercise due diligence. With the number of scammers popping up all across the internet, the alert see trends emerge. This member is following the trends. Maybe this old saying fits:

Truth does not mind being questioned. A lie does not like being challenged.

Here's one of his posts. They all have a similar tenor.

"I am new to the site and really like the 52's. I am interested in one to shoot probably with a scope. That is a nice looking rifle."

Get your Venmo ready to go!

"There is a lot of great information and rifles. Thread's like this are awesome."

When you look at the posts that preceded this comment, his post is a total WTF?

But don't let this stop you from doing a PayPal friends deal with him!

I don't do PP...Venmo........ever

I do Personal CK....MO...or layaway (with one of these two payments)

Never been screwed here....did have one guy flake on a deal in 2013.....but no $$ exchanged

Scammers/crooks/bad guys don't last long here

They'll get their sorry azz drug across the Fire and then some

Oh yea...welcome to the Fire in 2020

Thanks for the late welcome.

You scammed me outta some time.

And the so called "legit" people are ruining a perfectly good transaction with their mouths on how the way things have to be.

U should better explain that for the ole farts

There's enough drama here without this kind of thread. Unless you have something more substantial, I'd just let other people do their due diligence and use their own judgment in regard to new members.

There are people on here selling and trading that are old school mentality. Honest and our word is worth gold. Hard to find these days and kids dont comprehend such a thing. If sellers decide to ship insured or even hazmat stuff, hazmat, not hazmat or thru a hazmat it is their own business and no one elses, for all I care, not even the buyers. No one asks me about hazmat shipping, kids are just looking to argue. The buyer is not liable. the buyer may ask or if they have half a brain figure it out and move on if they dont personally trust in their self centered little hearts (which now leads to assuming the worst) the seller. and the other members' unwanted policing, bickering and down right belittling the seller shouldnt happen. You dont like what I do, move on sonny boy! If its not their way, youre a pos to them, granted hazmat is the rules but its not theirs to uphold, police, bicker and belittle about or say anything. If they dont like something theyre not a buyer and if they continue to communicate thru the sellers post theyre a pita. If they dont like me because of my posts,what I do or dont do compared to their small world, blindfolded, snowflake, gen z upbringings, come here face to face, lets talk about it.

Here you go.

Heaven help the membership numbers if we start using "awkward use of language at times" as a criteria for membership. Why, our members who "seen sumpin that you should of saw to" will be ousted and our membership cut in half.
