"Some like to treat them as an investment like gold and silver."Road Trip!!
Wish I had bought every full automatic I could have 25 years ago. Bet they hold the record for most appreciating.

We try to clear out the extra bumps from the "I had one and loved it crowd"You don't even have to go there. I click on the new post feed and all I see are sale ads with commentary by the minute. "pm sent" "pending" and "sold" and folks saying "I had one". "they are great". "GLWS"
Lol!
Exactly. If I saw an account I knew, id have fewer reservations. At the end of the day, sell or buy at your own discretion. The forum is just a place for us all to chat, share knowledge, and have a chuckle/ gripe from time to time.New account is the key word there, definjtely suspicious and probably scammer/fed
Beyond that, if YOU or anyone else wanted to buy 20 guns right now today, why should i care?
I will say it does get a little tiresome seeing all these old threads pop back up because someone didn’t read the rules or how sold threads work. One persons says something on said post from 2 years ago then everyone perceives that’s it’s available and here comes 5-6 posts on something that’s been sold.
In some instances yes. But if you see the thread is locked then more than likely it’s sold. If it hasn’t been bumped in a year or two logically it should be common sense it has be sold/traded etcsellers fault for not listing sold

Wow. I knew this guy. He is from my home town. I didn't know about this incident. His family are good people.BE CAREFUL! Most legitimate buyers are interested in VERY SPECIFIC firearms. If someone says "Just bring everything you got!", well...

And again, I would NEVER meet someone I hadn't spoken to on the phone... you can get a MUCH better feel for who and what you're dealing with that way.

I see both sides of this. Technically there should be a "sold" somewhere in the title. I personally like when people post sold as the last post, but that's not required.not all the time

I will disagree. Posting sold just bumps the thread.Technically there should be a "sold" somewhere in the title. I personally like when people post sold as the last post, but that's not required.
You are correct. That's the way the rules read too. Don't re-bump it just to post sold.I will disagree. Posting sold just bumps the thread.
When a member posts a thread, then pending, then sold, I see the post in my feed 3 times in one day.
I'm picky and weird and not even saying I'm right. Just the way I see it.
Take 350? Text me! Hahaha.You are correct. That's the way the rules read too. Don't re-bump it just to post sold.
I don't bother people about it since it seems to deter people that just float through and ask "is this available" on every Glock 19 their search pulled up.
Instead of bumping an obviously old thread to the top of the heap, potential buyers should just privately send the same inquiry to the seller.
By randomly posting in public on multiple threads, that potential-buyer does himself a disservice on multiple levels:
1) He highlights to everyone that he’s too lazy to privately ask the seller if the item they had listed months ago is still available. He doesn’t care about cluttering up the forum, and he’d rather just bump a dead thread.
2) He lets everyone else know that he’s in the market to buy almost anything and he’s a non-discriminate buyer. New guy, trying to buy everything. Suspicions should go up. Not taken seriously, either. As a seller, wouldn’t waste my time on him.
3) He is wasting his own time. Instead of simply starting his own WTB thread, once, he posts 20-times on other people’s dead threads.
Just send a PM. Start a conversation. Whatever. Stop cluttering the forum.
That’s my advice for a new-guy potential-buyer.
Yeah. I said “he”. In my experience, a gun-loving female wouldn’t be so rude, lazy, disrespectful, defensive, and stubbornly inefficient in front of strangers that might have some insight to offer.
Just a thought.
