Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds ###Even Fire Members Are Dishonest###

+1

I bought a Sako from a member here that did not have 10 post. Everything went fine.

I have been burnt twice by members here with higher post count and had been around awhile. Both times it was almost a $1000 per transaction. One of these members no longers post here and the other hasn't posted since he burnt me.

Post count alone tells you nothing.

But the content of the posts often reveal the posters character.
100% classified ads tell damn little.

As was said before Integrity is the one thing you can not buy.

Even if i get burnt on a deal my word will still be good.

I agree with dink. I would be classified as a classified cowboy because of my low post count but I spend a lot of time in other forums. I rarely contribute as the people there know a lot more than I and it is hard to listen when u are running your mouth. Additionally I get so mad when I read those with high post counts bashing others. Safariman was doing just this over Xmas.

I couldn't agree more! I don't have a lot of spare time to peruse all the sites I am a member of and I cannot offer much to most here that have more knowledge than myself. I do however cruise the classifieds when I am needing or wanting something, for that I am guilty. I have asked once before about what the "magic" number of posts are required to be considered a solid member but I think this thread has pretty much answerd my question.

It sucks slamming a guy around here, but it's safe to say that many of us have bit our tongues over the years about this situation.
If a guy really has financial or medical issues the guys on this forum are very generous. I've never seen such an outpouring of concern, kindness and generosity as the 'fire offers.

But it works both ways. When guys continually milk the system and get into 'victim mode' it's over. This place will wear a guy out just as fast over that behavior, and it should.
It's ironic this all came out due the seller's actions. Real Christian behavior would have said, 'all right, send me the things back, let's put this behind us." A man's character should go well beyond monetary value.
Very unfortunate.

You just cannot always elaborate about poor financial situations while concurrently discussing rebarreling or rechambering a rifle. It does not add up unfortunately.

Yes Sir you did make it right by giving me a refund and we have had a transaction since then as well.

That cracked me up

I have lots of good transactions here. The only one that didn't go was with the person that this thread is against. He has been on my ignore list for some time

In the end, a MAN would offer a 100% refund without ever being asked.

Thank God I ain't a Christian.

Or new (used) truck to haul his 'wheeler, dogs, decoys, guys etc.

Well his Harley certainly can't pull all that stuff.

My thoughts exactly! But I probably don't have enough posts to have an opinion either.....

Not trying to kick a down dog but there is some serious things that just ain't consistent and have not been for a while. Lots of us here have much the same issues but dont advertise.

Because more than likely the pictures he sent were poached off the 'net and were not even of the actual gun being sold.

That is funny you say that. When I saw the ad with the pistols for sale and that they had already been sold, I said to myself , self , I bet we see those for sale down the road due to a need of some sort. ( at a nice increase in price of course).

Really I was just jealous cause I have to work and miss out on good deals like that

Sounds like a lot of money shuffling going on. Robbing Peter to pay Paul so to speak.

I'll be happy to tell you of all my ailments and issues.
