Saying this with reservation

[Shooter13]

Everyone that I have dealt with on this forum have been great to deal with, like family. I always check feedback before buying. nilebartram

Humm, you don't have MY family! LOL

One thing I've noticed some times that I have a question about are people that have more trade history than posts. Do ads in the classified section not count as posts?

 

[Danoh]

It would also be nice if everyone would submit feedback for every transaction.
I’ve had several on here (and elsewhere) that I’ve never received feedback on whether I was the buyer or seller.

It's the "0 Messages, 0 Feedback" members that seem to be the only ones posting Is this still for sale? query. I still can't figure out what that's about. It's happened to me on my posts too many times to count. When I reply in the affirmative...crickets.

That is a weird one. I have seen that to. I’m trying to figure out the scheme behind it

 

[moondog]

I haven't done a ton of transactions here but, the ones I've done have been smooth. I go with my gut and usually ship before I get payment. Same thing usually happens if I'm the buyer. Lucky I guess.

Far as I can tell, posts in the classifieds section don’t add to the post count. I like this. Differentiates between the discussion forum participants and the folks using this site as a business front.

Agreed!

I’ve run into the same thing. Long story short: you just have to ask for the feedback.

 

[Bill Norris]

It' s good to leave feedback and inform the other party and ask them to return the favor if they have not.

 

[PhilC]

Some sellers won't respond to that. I've asked and not received. Now I offer to provide positive feedback after seller does, if they don't, neither do I.

 

[carlsbad]

I cannot tell a lie. I sold something last week and never shipped it...I got clear money and kept the item.

That's because the buyer has a bad address in Paypal....still waiting for him to respond to PMs.

This is very valid and happens more often than not

The old saying , if it's to good to be true , has been around a long time.....

Moondog : about the "ship before payment thing " : would you happen to have a 410 Gauge Parker or an engraved Python for Sale ???

I've got both. Send me a thousand bucks and they're both yours.... Just lemme Google some pictures for you

 

[moondog]

There's my gut talking to me again!

[Dusty Stevens]

The sellers often wonder why nobody responds to their posts too.

 

[Rdlningcltchdmpr]

I always Google the address they want me to send payment to. This is an absolute must. It saved me twice.

 

[kelbro]

I'm a little too risk averse for all of that. There's nothing that I can't do without. Trading is supposed to be fun, not stressful.
