    Please no Thread Crapping lol

    When I see a listing for a gun for sale and the person who posted it has to write in his post "no Thread Crapping" isn't that the first sign something is wrong with your listing?

          They add that because they know their item is likely priced well over what 99% of sane people would pay.

            The words "Rare", "Hard to find", "Vintage", and "Mint" are also big Red Flags LOL.

              Sounds like the Department of Redundancy Department, since Kes kinda put this in the rules.

                Nope

                We are a snarky group

                I saw a mismatched gen 3 glock 22 sell for $650

                The slide and frame had different serial numbers

                $650



                It’s crazy right now
                Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED

                Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)

                Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET

                Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT

                  Because they don't want people calling them out on their BS.
                  Someone is selling a FN Tactical II (w/ Hera) right now for $1800, which is absurd. They are on sale for $900 (OOS already though). This guy just joined and never even fired it. Makes me wonder if he just bought it to sell it for a profit. To each their own. If he can find a buyer, good for him. But $1800 is way to steep for an AR when lowers and upper are still in stock. $300 over MSRP, not for me.

                    You forgot "off roster". That gets miss-used a lot. Of course a gun is off roster if it hasn't been manufactured in 30 years.

                      I mean, I'd be happy for folks to comment on a listing. Better than bumping it myself.

                        It's really bad in California and has been for years. It's not new.

                        When someone can get a FN Scar 17 WITH an fde Acog and 10 magazines and 500 rounds of ammo for $2750 and then you see them butchered with some ghetto *** gripfin on Calguns with nothing for $4000 is just simply laughable. Don't pass your mistakes and high price to someone else. My god people. Sell it for it's fair market value, not your opinion on what you think it's worth.

                        It feels like there is nothing but liberals here on Calguns selling guns for very liberal prices. Lmao.

                          I seen few listings with users who joined within the past month selling brand new guns at a profit. One listing had a seller wanting to meet the buyer on his DROS pick up date that he didn't sign for yet LOL. Maybe Calguns could implement a probationary period before being able to sell an item?

                            Don’t you know... When a Calgunner touches a gun it instantly gains value. Don’t believe me? Just check the market place.

                            Thread crapping don’t change the facts.

                              Agree with OP.

                              How about when they list it as "NEW" and then say only 50/100/200 (whatever) rounds fired? Just goofy. I KNOW when they do that it's overpriced.
                              There are some people that it's just not worth engaging.

                              It's a muzzle BRAKE, not a muzzle break. Or is your muzzle tired?
