Can you elaborate which part/section of the #14 you have an issue with?

Most questions and product inquiries can be handled via Private Messages. We expect you to use this feature for all questions and inquiries.

If you feel your question or inquiry involves a material aspect of the item being bought/sold you may post that in the thread.

I have a bigger gripe with #4. I've seen up to 8 posts right after the other same op different product.

I took my comment down cuz a bunch of folks jumped on me that now I'm not following the rules by posting this in the wrong forum, and they are correct. I dont have an issue, I had a question. As my orig comment indicated..the last sentence. It is very common to post "pm sent"..OP's disregard the rule not to, and the mods dont enforce..was wondering why. theres a lot of rules around not doing unecessary bumps...yet everyone does this one against the rules

We shall all follow the rules, however, as you know some just don't read or don't give a crap and just do whatever. I imagine as a MOD they probably know but the time to enforce every single infraction is just too time consuming. There's one member who kept deleting his ads and put up a new one as soon as someone make a comment or asked a question on the original thread. Some like their ad to look clean so it looks like the ad is fresh. As posting "pm'ed" or" message sent" which is not necessary according to the rules, but the poster want this public to indicate to others who might be interested on the same gun that he already have dibs or something. Its a cycle of tricks in the marketplace, everybody is fighting for that underpriced deal.

Is it frustrating? sure. but what can you do about it, not much beside to vent thats all. I hear ya and I see a lot of these tricks people do in the marketplace both seller and buyer. Its just like when driving in public I see people make infractions ALLLLLL the time and wish I was a cop to give them a citation but I'm not and we are not mods. So just vent and move on. All the best.
