I bought a handfull of stuff on here. Always a good experience. But always from known members and mostly Leupold scopes that I could send in for warranty if by chance there was something wrong with one. But they have all been either NIB or LNIB delivered as promised. I havent bought anything on any other forum.
Life can be rough on us dreamers.

Good luck here. Only deal with members that have a couple hundred + posts.

Asphalt angle? I missed that one I guess…
Only two issues ever in the classifieds…
One guy bought some reloading equipment form me, I packed it up tight as a drum and shipped no problem. Tracking verification showed arrived in 4 days with signature confirmation. Month goes by and he reached out wanting a refund as it was all damaged in shipping. Refused to provide proof of damage, so I suggested he take it up with usps insurance…
Had another fella sell me a Marlin and it took a call to the local sherif to get the guy motivated enough to ship the gun.
Otherwise there is the very rare “I will take it” only for the guy to back out 2days later. Usually I don’t mind that unless the guys are just being jerks about it. That’s what the ignore function is for…

Walmart never does me wrong
Thing is tho, I haven’t stepped foot in there in 30 year. Maybe since 19 and 89

For those who say that they only deal with with established members: How does that work? If something is posted for sale and a newer member posts "I'll take it", does the seller refuse and wait for someone else to come along? That seems kind of dishonest.

I have no problem selling to new members, as local custom is that one pays the money, then the sold item(s) are shipped. For established folk, I typically ship ASAP. ya! GWB

Do you know why Asphalt angle had that user name? well her black side boyfriend told her he was going to blacktop her and she told him she was on her period, so he told her to bend over and he was going to Asphalt her.

Never. Always been treated fairly and honestly.
And I do my best to treat those who buy from me with the same level of integrity.

Never an issue over many transactions. If anything seems squirrelly, I insist on discussing the deal over the phone -- that will usually root out a scammer.

Define "ripped off". If you mean a total loss of money for no product, then NO.
If you mean poor quality photos hiding defects- then YES.
If you mean poor descriptions hiding the condition despite REPEATED requests for better photos- then YES.
Once got a 7.62x39 chambered Mauser where the "gunsmith" had destroyed the bolt face and extractor to the point of almost not being to hold a cartridge. The same gun had no extractor cut in the face of the barrel, meaning it could not support the rear of the cartridge. Poor work. The seller was surprised to find that someone would check into a rifle in such detail and could not understand why I was so picky.
I simply avoid the Classifieds here and save myself disappointment.

Nope. I've had great luck dealing with the folks buying and selling there. +1 I’m careful who I deal with and how I deal with them but have never had an issue.
