A word on these sales.
The letters o.b.o. after the price stand for "or best offer," which means that I am entertaining offers.
A message of the form "How much do you really want for the widget?" is not an offer.
A message of the form "I would be a buyer of the widget at $x" is an offer.
I have made some packages in the hope of getting offers, if you are interested in part of a package then send an offer and specify what the offer is for. (e.g. I would be a buyer of just the dongle at $Y).
Why should you make an offer?
1.) I do not want to sell all of the weapons I have listed here. A financial emergency dictates that they be sold quickly.
I need to raise $Z, to be certain of doing that I have (or will) list about $2.5xZ worth of weapons. When I reach Z the
remaining weapons will no longer be available for sale. However, if you have placed an offer on an item that has not sold,
I will at least give you a chance to purchase it before I withdraw it for sale.
2.) The items are for sale in multiple venues. I already have firm offers on several items that are below what I think
they are worth. But if I feel I have to drop to that price I will pick up the phone and do it with no further online
posting. Because of Calguns "bump" policy it is usually the last last venue where a price drop is posted.
3.) I don't haunt the for sale forums so I do not know what he clearing price of these is or will be. So to start I listed
them high. I will drop the price over time. If I am going to drop price on an item and you have hit it with an offer it is yours.
4.) Since price drops are usually done in even dollar amounts of $50 or $100 you should make an offer of an odd amount. If I have a widget offered at $600 and decide to drop it $550 and I have an offer of $555 that person gets the deal with no further negotiation.
