Delusional Sellers (CA Guns Classifieds)

[iLuvLatinas]

I mean fair, if its your grail gun that your gonna never sell and be buried with I understand...

For myself I'm looking for a platypus but I'm not paying $3000 for one

Just saying the Platypus that are new from Stealth Arms are like 3k even from SSE

Pretty sure a lot of them "The wife said I have to sell this thing, so $2000 for this Ruger 10/22, take it or leave it"

Hah, malicious compliance!

"Geez honey the thing just won't sell. Aw shucks."

How does that ruin anything? What if someone wants those?

Yup.

What I do not get is the push to control how someone else sells just because it is not how you would do it. That is not about safety or legality. That is just preference being pushed onto others.

This is a 2A forum. Supposed to be about personal freedom and letting people make their own legal choices without extra interference.

So why the issue when someone does exactly that in the classifieds?

If a seller wants to list 7 guns at once that is their call. If a buyer only wants one they can just reach out and work it out. The option is already there. Nobody is forced into anything.

Also, you can filter by price. And I think if you hate one guy you can put them on your ignore list and their ads won't show up

Im fairly new to caguns, joined december, but im sure ive already seen like 10 of these threads where people want to complain about pricing and are just hating they cant get one at msrp. You pay to play, or you play with what you can afford.

I agree lol it’s a game that needs players

 

[Plenty_Pack_556]

That's why alot of us are on gafs, buying and selling cheap. Alot of items you could not find here you find it there, if you could tolerate how the solution to this thread's first post should be.

Just my opinion and this goes back to the days of calgun, but a seller should only be able to list one BRAND NEW off roster firearm at a time for sale. When I scroll through these classifieds and I see one guy with seven different pistols for sale all for $4,000 it actually pisses me off and I'm shocked that the mods allow this. Don't ruin this website like Calguns ruined theirs

I actually like the "One Post for each Gun". The Calguns format had sellers listing say 5 or 6 all in the same post gets cluttered.

• Gun one is pending SPF
• Gun 2 still for sale but doesn't include all this stuff I was too lazy to take off for the pictures
• Gun 3 is sold
• Gun 4 has this and that included, but not this or that in the picture.
• Gun 5 is rare and I know what I got
• Gun 6 is withdrawn but might sell make me an offer

Got a warning from mods because I asked why the price is higher than normal. !

Saw this one time with a guy i knew. Weird wanted him to sell his old truck. He was asking $50k for a $3500 truck. I mean... it WAS for sale.

I know I've got a couple guns that would get that treatment. First centerfire I ever bought was $79 Big 5 Mosin; if someone was to offer me $3000 I might sell it then. Might.

You cant dictate what someone else chooses to sell their property for, and that isnt a good reason to be banned from sites like this.

Those with a free account (like me) are limited to 3 classifieds ads at one time.
Those with paid accounts get more ads.



I think the site owner (and therefore the mods) have a point of view that's quite different than yours.

You sure did. You got a warning for post-crapping which is not allowed. Derogatory or questioning comments about pricing are not allowed on for sale posts, that's what emojis are for.

Follow up to my previous post; I just shot the $2500 msrp gun I bought on here for $3k used and it was the best money I’ve ever spent on a firearm purchase, I’m grinning like a stupid idiot staring at it right now and couldn’t be happier.

Do I wish I could’ve gotten a new one for $500 less or a used one for almost half price? Sure. But it’s not the seller’s fault; he paid even more for it new. It’s the market we choose to live in. Legislators and misdirected activists are the ones to be frustrated with.

I have my grandfather's J25 actively for sale. First $25k takes it.

Didn’t those originally sell for like $25 each. So based on many comments above you need to reduce the price to say $15 dollars or face being banned for asking to much

I just wish I could search but minus glock as a key word, lol
