    You're on your own to figure that one out.

    Depends on what the gun is. If someone is selling "Glock 17, NIB", what do you need a photo for?

    If they're selling "S&W model 10, nickel plated, MOP grips, night sights added, three nickel plated extra cylinders, very good condition", then yeah, post a few pictures.

    I personally feel pictures *of the actual item, NOT "stock photos"* should be REQUIRED in the classifieds, and any ads without should be automatically deleted. Repeat offenders should be banned.
    No shit, im ready to buy now, i have other shit to look at if this one doesn't pan out, Im certainly not waiting on you to get back from work, shopping, partying whatever. Ive had people reply back to my inquiry as much as a week later. To me that just shows they really don't care and that they probably won't show up after i drove fifty miles to buy it.
    Go sell crazy some where else, we're all stocked up here.

    Agreed. But all of the posts that I was kvetching about were the latter, not the former.

    Granted, these are more Armslist sort of things but some of you guys might use both. I'm not going to help you figure out what your gun is worth and I don't want to talk to you any more than necessary.
    How about the old chinese auction.
    Let me know what your willing to pay, highest offer by saturday wins.

    Because all too often "new in the box" isn't new. These are the same sellers that have no idea how to grade a gun or what to look for in wear. Or maybe they're trying to pull one over on the inexperienced buyer. I've looked at guns advertised as new that have had pitting, blue worn off all the high points, damaged sights from being dropped.... The typical reply when I point it out is "oh, I never noticed that".

    I do repairs for a local gun shop. They buy tons of used firearms and do not test fire them prior to buying.
    You would be shocked at how many unethical shit-stains finger bang their guns into non-functional and then try to pass them off as OKFINE.

    The gun shop in question spends a pretty penny repairing broken, assed up firearms that were not caught at the counter.
    I can only imagine how bad this gets in the classified section.
