Lowballin' users

[patience0830]

i agree with u,but if ur selln makn profits why complain about others doin it?

I got the point when you made it the first time. I was replying in support. I was implying too much I guess.

 

[patience0830]

How much would you be willing to pay to have such offers weeded out of the free classifieds?

Hoo-AH! Money maker for the MODS!!

Support of what? That I made $20 selling him the Marlin 336?

I'm more than willing to throw out a donation. I think that many of the Armslist and Hoosier Topics regulars came on here JUST for the classifieds. I think that's more irritating than anything, make 50 posts and only hit the classifieds.

I sent you a PM, still waiting a response....

Never read it.

 

[Newbomb92]

Never read it.

That's wierd, mine pop up with a notification you have to click, when a I receive a new PM.

So what was it about me making a profit you were saying?

Oh dear!

Well, maybe the whole site should be subscription only!

No, not at all...but I do feel a donation to the site would be considerate. Judging by the threads you posted asking questions, maybe becoming a site supporter would be a nice "thank you"?

I'm going to send mine right now, the $20 profit I made off the Marlin.

I said according to one other poster it appears that you are not above making a profit but you criticize others in your OP for attempting to do the same as he pointed out. Never said I did'nt receive a PM. Just said I never read it.

To All,

It seems to me that selling on any board is much like selling at a garage sale: the price asked is a baseline and offers should be expected.

That said, if you wish to avoid offers simply say:

"I am not dying of cancer,
my daughter is not pregnant,
the transmission has not fallen out of my truck,
I am not going through a divorce, THEREFORE:

The price is 100% firm! I don't need the money. Do not send me offers except to say "I will take it!""

That should end the offers or at least give someone a chuckle.

Regards,

Doug

You might think that, but you'd be wrong...

You must have taken my OP wrong, it was about people lowballing offers. I'm not against anyone making a profit, it just seems there is a group of users in the classifieds that troll through throwing lowball offers out there. My profit was $20 on a $250 deal. It does get annoying when someone lists, oh let's say, a used XDm for 20% over retail, over and over and over.

I know, some of the old timers on here seem to be a little trigger happy to flame others.

Not being a old timer I have to say that above sounds like a flame as well.

Hey, I'm just going by what the guy posted. As a matter of fact I did'nt just take his word that you were originally asking $300 for it. I did a little researching and I came across the classified ad. That's all i'm saying. He's the one that raised the issue initially.

I could care less if you or anyone else makes a profit or not.

I would say $100 per head would be more reasonable.

You got an 80% discount.

Congrats!

If you COULD care LESS, that means you care somewhat....

The guy that bought my 336 did not lowball me, for the record.

FAIL.


I'm sure that nobody blabbing about a free market would ever complain about gander mountain or any other gun shop's high prices....

 

[manwithnoname]

I offered a guy 500 on a generator for which he was asking 650.

He said no and at that price he would keep it.

I said thank you and wished him well.

That's how the market works.

 

[maxmayhem]

yeah

these kind of people bug me... i feel like saying, u buy and then sell it for what you want when it belongs to you....you have to build the lowball into the item your are selling...i buy and try a lot of guns...get bored and sell them or find something else i want....i know what it is worth ...probably bought and sold 40 guns on here and armslist

I like it when an ingo'er sends a pm to tell you his oppinion of your price, not at all being interested in the gun at all...
