Funny how the original post had it listed for $300, and now the guy wants to do it as an auction, and says it's listed locally while he looks for the best deal.
Seems he made an offer, there was acceptance per board rules, and I'm hoping he sticks to the sale.
Otherwise... well, his tenure here won't be long at all. Dont know where you came to this conclusion? Give me some slack!

i just found out today about this site from hunting-washington.com so i am a newbie. they said the gun will sell fast here, and i've been surprised by the responses! You might want to ask over there, what they see as far as your sale here, too. Schitting in your own nest, in multiple places at once, takes talent. Good job on pulling that one off.

That, is a listed "For Sale" good with a set price. You have a public "I'll take it". That, is acceptance of your offer for sale, for your set price. That, is a purchase/sale contract.

I'm listing it on as many places as I can, the auction site has other fees associated with it and doesn't get much traffic. My offer here is $300 with $25 for shipping. Please don't infer anything about my intentions, although I guess they can be warranted and understandable. Right. You made the offer for sale, for a set price, in your listing. You got an acceptance of that offer for sale, for your price. That, is a sale. Period. Contract Law 101. It's on you to honor that sale, at that price, or for the BUYER to let you out of the contract. Board rules, and fairly standard contract purchase/sale rules. I got an offer for $300 without shipping in a PM from Lever, and haven't got a confirmation from him...so technically my offer was not accepted. Now maybe I missed something between the Forums and PM's I got from Lever but hopefully he can jump on here and clear this up for you guys. I've sent him my contact info and we are in talks between splitting shipping and drop offs. He didn't flat out accept my original offer, so hope that helps clear some things up. HELP LEVER!

Technically, your offer was accepted. See the post by Levers saying "I'll take it"? That's an acceptance.
And, beyond that, jolintaxidermy chimed in with an acceptance should the Levers deal FOR YOUR ASKING PRICE fall through.

Well I guess my classified forum selling protocol understanding is not up to par. Okay so I will PM jolintaxidermy to see if he will accept the original offer while I negotiate with Lever? Didn't know a forum post of i'll take it constituted a deal? I can remove my auction listing if that will apease the members? i'm using the pictures hosted there for this listing and I've had that relisted there for a couple weeks, it automatically relists and have not received any interest.

The ball is in your court.
Your ad, your price, your rifle, your reputation.
You had the responses to the ad, and acceptance of your price.
The rest, is on you.

Levers is just as much a part of this deal as the OP.
His public "I'll take it" means he'll pay $325 total including shipping. If this is not what Levers was saying then Jolin gets it for the $325.

have it up locally too, just trying to figure out the best option for me, thanks for the interest! i just found out today about this site from hunting-washington.com so i am a newbie. they said the gun will sell fast here, and i've been surprised by the responses! Okay, I guess cause I'm a new guy, you guys weren't giving me the benefit of the doubt. Just wanted to hopefully clear this up once and for all: a) i'm in Washington and have it listed in a washington site and have local interest b) i posted it here to see if there would be firm offer for my gun c) i have it listed on gunbroker too. what i mean by this comment and in our PM messages from lever that there is interest in a few locals, so having to deal with shipping/FFL and that his offer was not for $325 I was waiting to see if I could get my asking price. Selling it for $300 and having to pay the entire shipping costs and driving it to a gunsmith might not be the best deal for me. Are we okay guys? Don't know what else I can do, I'm not trying to crawdad anything or not hold up my offer. Why would I sell it to someone for $300, pay for shipping myself, when I get an offer from some locally for my original asking price and not have to deal with shipping and FFL's? Just cause someone says they'll take it on a forum doesn't mean they'll follow up too and to mean doesn't mean much until the contact info is exchanged and the money is in hand. just my opinion

Are you maybe 5 years old or something? Have you never sold anything before anyplace? What is your honor and reputation worth? Obviously, much less than $325. People here are honest outdoorsman. YOU listed a price including shipping ,which includes all cost of driving to your dealer or whatever else..... YOU made posting, and now 3 different people have accepted. IF you are not ethical enough to stand by your post, please go away and do not post here again IMHO

You guys really know how to make someone feel welcome, typical message board pointless BS and I'm done trying to explain myself. I will contact the "I'll take it offers" and go from there, thanks for all our your guys' great feedback.

So what is the resolution here?
Levers agreed to $325 shipped.
If his "I'll take it" means something less than $325 then his word is suspect.
If I were the OP I'd sell it to the second "I'll take it" if the first one tried to negotiate something other than what he agreed to.
