    Default If you list to sell, please sell it!

    Maybe I just need to vent a bit, but..

    I've made 2 contacts on the classified forum here over the last 3 weeks and agreed to make 2 gun purchases. Both times I've agreed to travel 45 minutes to an hour to the sellers. They seem eager at first, then they just stop communicating. Doesn't it seem like basic courtesy that if you list something for sale and agree to a sale/price, you should follow through? I find it frustrating that someone can't find a half hour to an hour to complete a deal at his asking price.

    If you don't want to or 'have the time' to sell your item, don't list it!

    It may be frustrating and it may be disrespectful, but it's the sellers right to change his/her mind just like it's the buyers right to back out of a deal. Unless you have a legal and binding contract there ain't much you can do about it.

    I agree with you. I have had this happen 4 times on here. 3 for those going to purchase, and once for a gun I was going to buy. Annoying as hell.

    Well, at least they didn't change their mind after getting your money.

    IMO members who do this should be banned, if you want tell buy/sell on a gun forum I suggest ar15.com, do that shit over there and you will get banned, seems a mans word on here means nothing to some people.

    I have had it happen to me many times on here, from now on I will not post anything for sale and I will not buy from any member on here unless I know them.

    this one goes the other way too. it wouldn't be too bad on either side if people just called and said forget it.

    I have no problem with someone changing his mind, but just send a message and say so instead of r repeatedly setting times, then canceling after I'm on my way to you or just no showing. Or zero communication.

    I would never do anything but a FTF for that reason.
