    How about:

    "All items from all sellers will be considered STILL FOR SALE until a buyer actually pays."

    That is the default reality, correct?

    I suppose there could be stuff like Earnest Money, like if you want to met in person to do a $1000 deal (and see gun in person first) then you pony up $100 to hold it for a week.


    But I feel your pain about Welchers. WTF is the point. Welching on bet has a profit motive, but not Welching on purchase. Reminds me of when I worked at a supermarket and certain repeat offenders would come through with a crap load in their cart (always mostly dumb stuff, low class high cost/low food value semi-junk food) and then not have money for about 1/2 of it and want a big social work cession picking and choosing what they are gonna keep with others waiting.


    PS-Shouldn't we be more Politically Correct and find another term for "welching"? How do the Jews feel about the people saying "They jewed me out of $5 at the bank" or how do the Gypsies feel about people saying "That was a gyp".

      If the Mods are going to spend time enforcing anything, I'd really like to see better enforcement of thread titles with seller's location in the title.
      ^^^this

      The titles need work. On any other type of forum those threads would've been deleted. They need to follow the standard or make one.

      Gun-model-ver. Yr, caliber, location, price.
      Something of this nature and no variations.

      And some will say...oh the search function works just fine. But this isn't the point. If one is to browse that section anyone should be able to scroll and see uniformity.

      Just my two pesos

        After a few PMs prior to a transaction it's usually not hard to tell who's ok and who's not ok. Kinda like following a thread in the OT section.
        "To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead." Thomas Paine



        "We keep you alive to serve this ship. Row well and live."

        "Is that a desert country?" "No; a fat country; fat people." "You are not fat?" "No. I'm different..."

          Just don't post sold to you receive funds. PayPal sucks but I've closed deals in a matter of minutes. Less rules the better, sometimes life happens and things change. Those that scam, and ripoff ban for life though.
