How not to sight in a new rifle... Ouch

[Ratman]

A runner? Not familiar with that one. Yeah, the thread is old but all of his posts since he posted it for sale are in the classifieds where I can not yet post. Since he stated there, in his WTS listing that he was posting it on an auction sight, I believe that allows me to try to contact him about the listing that he created outside of the forum. Notice, I did not try to post my phone number or email address in in any kind of way. Just a genuine attempt to contact someone who has something for sale that I have been looking for a long time to find.

Maybe I am wrong and if so, I apologize.

If you READ the post it say “going off auction pricing”. Meaning that is how he came up with the price. Nothing about cross posting at all. You can participate in the classifieds if you pony up $20 and become a site supporter.

Ibtl still legit.

Seconds on the decade old Crossman 150.
It's sad it took a runner to show us a work around on how to post in the classifieds.

Holy crap...I went back and read it again and you are right. I have been looking for one in this configuration for a while now and missed several on the bay and got so excited to find one that I misread it. Totally my bad!

"Runner" is the nickname we have for somebody that sees something shiny in the classifieds and then "Makes a run to 50" by quickly posting 1 liners so they can PM. We've even seen blatant ones where they literally posted numbers as if nobody is watching. (1st post "1", 2nd post "2", etc) I guess they think if they can crank out 50 posts in under 5 minutes they can get away with it.

Not that you were doing that, but I just wanted to explain what was meant.

You're gonna be just fine here. Welcome!

But as for posting in a 13 year old thread...

 

[Jaybird1980]

So now that that's done.

I've found this old Crosman 150 in the closet, think there would be any interest in something like that?

Now I've got to go see what all the hullabaloo is about. I have a vintage Limited Edition 20th Anniversary Daisy Powerline 880 (it's actually my son's but he won't miss it), maybe it will make some noob break the law for it!

Well @Ratman , you've got three of the staff chiming in on your bump of a 13 year old thread. The record is five and that was in an introduction thread. Speaking of intro thread, I see you've checked that box.

Stick around, before you know it you'll be telling some newbie "back when I was a plinker..."

A lot of inside jokes and lingo here. My counterpart @Bigtanker used the term "Denny", that's both a thing (a verb, to "Denny" a thread means you have posted a serious comment when others are joking about the subject) around here as well as a regular contributor/valued voice here at INGO.

The State Trooper stole my wallet, the Boner Drone, the 870 the went off by itself at Shootrite, lifetime LTCH going away, the 5 year old girl who stole your gun, any thread can derail into a food discussion, all part of INGO lore.

I'll take it!

No it doesn't. Bacon on the other hand belongs on everything!

You lost your spots a long time ago....

LMAO....That is awesome!!!! The lingo is off the hook! My family moved out of Indy when I was 4 so I missed out on all of this. Thanks!

Yes it DOES!!! Especially with pepperoni and jalapenos! Don't believe me, try it!!!

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Right? Nobody has even asked him if he was okay with pineapple on pizza. WTH?

@Ratman Be very careful how you answer this if asked... You will make some friends, and make some enemies. Choose wisely...
