I am continually amused (sellers)

by the MARKETPLACE posts that do not have images but expect potential buyers to ...text.. for pix.
Plus selling PAIRS of guns.

I never do look much at "selling for a friend."

Okay rant over.

6,917 posts over 16 years and you are pulling the old man card? LOL

Glad your pricing strategies are working for you OP.

[BucDan]

A lot of the sellers don't really participate in the forums. They just use it for the marketplace.

Exactly! And don't understand the Attitude of "No Lowballers", IF you are not willing to negotiate some you really don't want to sell.. Especially if you are priced High anyway...

Perhaps consider this. I have on many occasions posted to the marketplace and when trying to add pics I get a message saying I do not have the proper security token and am completely unable to attach pics. I know others have had problems as well. I've tried contacting mods and admins many many times, and never once have I received a response from anyone. While I understand your point when it comes to posters who are just too lazy to add the pics, take into consideration that many of us have problems with doing so as cgn isn't the most user friendly site around, and lack of response from those who are supposed to be there to help doesn't make things any easier

Just post them on imgur.com and then provide a link. It is simple really.

If my 85 year old mom can post pics to imgur and pinterest and then link to them, I am sure others can too.

no pics no click! in general.

I like how when you try to sell a box of unicorn ammo for a fair price,
and still get lowballed.

Just post on imgur

Option, yes. But I don't want to create an account to a website I have no desire to use because the website info want to use has issues with certain features. I applaud your 85yo mom for still having enough faculties to post and send pics, but I don't choose to spend my life on a phone or computer.

No account required on IMGUR, no sign up of any kind. And posting pics here could not be easier. If you have a problem posting pics here, the problem is not the forum, it’s you and/or your gear.

Well, that's the good part of a free society. If you don't like it, you can just ignore it.
On the other hand, a extreme example would be--"I have a brand new, never fired, xlnt condition xxx brand pistol for sale". Would pictures really be necessary?
And, not all of us have the ability, or want to learn, how to post pictures here.

AMEN!!!!

I have no idea how to post pictures through some photo hosting site. Tried to learn but was very frustrating. Huge PITA and I will pass on it.

[BigPimping]

Classless lowballers deserve a permaban. You get one for posting stuff that might offend people? I got 6 months on the bench for "MILF Madness Fridays."

Glock gen3s for 800+ lulz

But it has stippling and a lone wolf barrel in it. No the OEM barrel is not included. And the slide numbers don't match the frame. Price is firm!

[norcalAF]

Geeze did both of them show up for the transaction or was it bait and switch? If it's above water just be open and honest about details like that. That would make me uneasy.

[norcalAF]

$600 is reasonable for Gen 4 in good condition for sure. Especially a G29, you don't see them pop up too often. Throw in ammo and extras, dang it why didn't I see the ad lol.

[norcalAF]

I've done that. For a first time seller. I posted the WTS ad here and dealt with folk. But I was also very clear from the get-go, what was happening and why. No one was surprised when two 'sellers' show up for the PPT.

That's how it should be. I bought a rifle from a younger guy and his dad came along with him, fine with me, nice fellas, both of em.
