If you just want to conduct a transaction and really arent interested in chatting it up here, that's fine.Runner? Just browsing, making some comments to achieve enough posts to msg someone..Sorry if that is not acceptable
I'd recommend just becoming a site supporter. Its only $20/year (less than $1.75/mo so cheap!) and you get access immediately.
Bear in mind INGO isnt Armslist. We are a message board with a classified section for active members. So if you are just looking to buy or sell, I suggest one of the major national sites. Especially if you really are from northern MI. Most members here are looking for face to face local transactions and are not interested in shipping, out of state transfers, etc. So keep that in mind.
