Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds It kills me.

Why can't something be priced "reasonably" but still better than break even for the seller? Much as the OP wants to whine about it, basic supply and demand changes mean things *do* become scarcer or even rare as time passes. If the price is ridiculously high, it won't sell. (Here, anyway. GB is it's own story.) That's called the free market...

Reasonable is determined by the buyer and certainly varies as much as our opinions. One thing is certain...judgement. My ignore list grows daily based on my opinion of seller's greed. If others do the same then the pool gets smaller. That's called freedom.

I don’t care what the asking price for a gun on here is! But the entertainment value of threads like this…Priceless! 😂

There is no way in Hell I'd sell a Barrett Fieldcraft for the pre-out of production price I paid. If anybody wants to sell some for $1150, PM me. I'll buy them all day every day.

lol

Sounds like a bunch of elementary school girls,
Get your big boy pants on,Like it or lump it,If you don't like the circle then step out,
Sounds more like hurt feelings

Speak for yourself dumbass, I bid accordingly based on recent prices in the last 5 years , I ain’t buying [bleep] that’s used for 10x more than it’s worth especially reloading components and used scopes.

Lol alright bud. Whatever makes you sleep best at night.

Man there are some polar opposite personalities on here…yet we’re all looking for guns, scopes, sticks, etc….incredible

I have bought, sold, and traded a few things here. Am I missing something in writing in the classified protocols or policies that says a posted "I'll take it" trumps a pm received earlier. I see that often quoted here as a rule when a pm to the seller gets the item because the pm was sent before the posted "I'll take it" Just curious.

I have a 100 watt bulb that I have been using for a couple of years. I think that I will sell it. I guess that I should sell it for what it will cost me to replace it, right?

You can list it for whatever you want!

Sounds like a bunch of whiners complaining about responses to their overpriced wares.... the biggest thing wrong with the sellers on here is they don't know how to negotiate. If you don't like a price offered, how about responding with a price you would live with or a simple "no thanks".... believe it or not, some of us do keep track of what things are going for on lots of other sites, auctions, and other venues and are willing to pay fair prices for items that come up that pique our interest... but not the inflated prices some guys think their stuff is worth based on other inflated prices they have seen on this site....

One of the reasons prices are going up- on top of the prices of fuel, materials, and labor, which doesn't come close to explaining some of the price increases- is the fact that people aren't willing to simply say no. If you keep paying these inflated prices, you can expect them to keep going up- it's called capitalism. If most guys paid what should be fair prices for items, the prices would level out and would stop going through the roof constantly- that is also called capitalism....

Now, on a somewhat related subject- if someone describes something that it definitely is not or was never made regardless of what a second cousin of a good friend of the guy's barber said- you should expect to get called on it.... on this site and any other site I've ever been on. That can be a warning to other would be buyers to do some homework before plunking down money on a unicorn that doesn't exist. As said above, you can choose to ignore the warnings also .....

Sellers make their own rules. One here made a deal with me in the morning then sold to someone else that afternoon.

My neighbor has a 1971 Boss 351 mustang that he bought new in 71 for a grand total of 3500$.

Should I demand he sell it to me for that because that's what he paid?

When something is no longer avaliable; it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay.

Last week a CZ527 222 sold for 1200$. I paid 500-600$ new many times for them. However they aren't being made anymore and that makes them worth more. Just the way it is. If you're too broke to afford it, or don't wish to pay that. Move along. The irony of talking about "respectable men" while ruining the thread of a fellow shooter....😂 Sad.
Some of you should be ashamed.

Totally up to the seller. As a seller I don’t care if you PM me. First IWTI whether a PM, call, text, sign in the window, smoke signal or a post in the ad. Actually I think it’s stupid to require a IWTI in the ad only….Just me…..

Apparently some don't realize that items offered in the Classifieds on the 'fire may also be cross listed on other websites.

I would never ruin someone else's thread, or speak ill of a specific item being sold. Was speaking in generalities.

My comment wasn't directed at you. My apologies if it felt that way.

It's all good brother sorry. We KY brothers gotta stick together
