How about a flake list to be made

[Wolkenflieger]

I had a recent interaction we made it into the exchanging pics bit and he sends me stock photos of it and is "too lazy" to grab it out of the safe. That conversation has since fizzled.

I agree though I run into far too many online that ask if available then vanish.

Stock photos. Red flag for sure.

Sending stock photos instead is crazy lol.

One thing that bothers me some and its not just here, but any classifeds in general. Why do some people message "is this still available"? You then reply back with a "yes, are you interested, would you like more pictures"? Then no further replies.

From my own experience it’s getting old feet. Sometimes I’m very enthusiastic about a gun but by the time the seller responds thar enthusiasm is gone. I do tell the seller that I’m having second thoughts and need to back out

New agent -smith will adjudicate DM’s. I’m working on a system where you would invite the agent into the conversation, then I would review the conversation, then allow for feedback. The person who initiates would be the first review up until that point.

This isn’t released yet, but I’ll test it out. I think a no nonsense system with very clear definition of rules means what it says goes. If you agree inside the DM, then that’s available for a feedback. However, it won’t review anything outside the system and only reviews the context of the conversation.

That’s a great idea. It shouldn’t be necessary but since it is, might as well.

For me the biggest cause of deals falling through is drive distance/timing. It can be hard to agree on a half way point FFL or get schedules aligned.

I usually filter by area so I haven't run into this yet, but it does reduce choices.

“Bay Area” is a big place with lots of traffic. I wish we had a more granular way of filtering

Can we put a responsiveness grade on sellers. Honestly it’s getting annoying for sellers post and never respond. (I’m seeing a trend with new sellers mostly)

So suggestion is to put a clock on “make an offer” communication ( on both sides to be fair).Also, it might be good to indicate multiple offers in play

that would be a bigger lift... i've been thinking about how to do this... I'll be looking at this more once the system gets built out..

This is me. Lol.

I usually forget I sent that message, or it lets me gauge how long it has been on market before I decide to either let it wait out a bit more;
or send an bit lower offer some people may refer to as a lowball offer.
