After considerable thought, I've given up searching my weary brain for the answer to why people with minimal or zero counts for Messages, Reaction Score, or Feedback will post "Is this still for sale" and then go silent after the OP responds in the positive. I've seen this numerous times on ads, even those that clearly indicate the item was sold months or years before. It's happened often enough on my own threads that I no longer respond unless I get a 2nd query. Admittedly I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer (happy to accept counter opinions) so maybe one of you can school me on the reason for this all too common occurrence. It's just a puzzlement because I don't see this being posted by long standing members with frequent activity.
Is this still available?
- Thread starter Ken Lewis
- Start date
Some people think they were born special and the item in interest is just magically waiting there for them!
I think they are mostly tire kickers !

Guaranteed to take the wind out of their sails
Some are new here and don't look at posting dates, and just sometimes the item is still available,,it's a miracle. Just because they have a sign up date of 4 years ago don't mean squat if they have never been
back until now.
back until now.
On another forum, a guy asked about building a “brush gun” on a 1917 Enfield action, for hunting wild hogs. His action had the back end ground off, so no safety. That was his first post on that forum. I offered to give him another 1917 action that had been welded on. He never replied. I ended up selling it to another guy on that forum.

I do. I get a little red flag next to my mail icon.
I think they’re just desperate new guys searching. Could be scammers trolling, too.
we don’t count since we are always on here lol...I’m not talking the actual notification on the forum. I’m talking an email notification like what other forums do.

I think you can go into the notification settings to get them. I used to get emails all the time from the forum until I changed it. I’ll go look.......
Yup! It’s in the “preferences” section of your profile page. I’m no computer whiz but I think that what it means.
shut up...I knew that...lol
