Caveat emptor. The Marketplace

[GM4spd]

Do moderators have a mechanism to report guns that are frauds and demand
high prices? I really hate to see someone get burned. There is a pistol in
the marketplace that is clearly not what it says it is- at least from the pictures
that are shown. It's possible the seller may not even know it's not what he says
it is. Pete

hopefully the buyer is a bit more aware.

While I totally agree with you, its not your job to do anything - or mine. Buyer be ware. Anyone is allowed to ask anything they want.

Given your feedback, I'd do business with you anytime. Wish everyone here was an upstanding Calgunner. But there will always be some bad apples. Nothing we can do but move on.

you are not allowed to price crap a sales thread, but if you feel an item is fraudulently mis-represented, report the post with your concerns. that way, all the mods are notified about the issue and can look at the post.

Just flag the OP and give details in the description.

Not an ad but an example how to report an ad.

I got taken in ebay cause my dumb@$$ wasn't paying close enough attention, the ad said 2 Glock 17 mags, well I needed 2, 9mm mags so I bid on them and ended up winning, however, when I went to pay I noticed a side note that said .40 cal. mags. I was confued so I asked for better pics than the one in the ad, sure enough they were .40 cal mags, so obviously they are not G17 Mags.

Because, no matter how fraudulent and bogus a for sale thread may be, The Moderators will delete your thread mentioning it or directly identifying the thief. Go figure that.

I did start a thread mentioning a bogus deal in the sales forum, without identifying the thread or the OP, just mentioned that such and so of a trade offered is a rip off. It got deleted by a moderator in a jiffy.

GM4spd, Thanks for everything.

PM the seller he might not be as knowledgeable as you. If you get a pi** off reply go to the mods.

That's why you would handle it like this:
