This is just my take on good classifieds etiquette for buyers out there, this thread is a product of me departing from airguns and selling quite a bit over the last few days as I get rid of my airgun inventory, a lot of WTF moments in the last few days lol.
The following is a list of tips to help you people who seem to struggle with the classifieds, as many of you know part of my livelihood is selling things online , so I have quite a bit of experience with this.
1) Read the entire ad before inquiring about an item, this will save frustration and headache.
2) If the seller lists his forms of payments, do not ask if they can take forms of payment they say they cannot, they wrote this for a specific reason.
3) This goes with number 2, do not pout when they tell you they cannot take the form of payment you want to use that they've stated they cannot take.
4) Do not get upset when they won't sell you an item because you cannot pay on the terms the seller listed.
5) Do not say "I'll take it", "Lets do this", "Consider it sold" and then ask more questions about the item (this is arguably the most annoying and frustrating).
6) If you have CONSIDERABLY lesser feedback than the seller, your suggestions on pricing and how to sell are probably falling on deaf ears..... especially after youve shown you are cheap (see number 7) , if they have near 100 positive transactions, mostly selling, they probably are pretty good at selling and pricing, theyve earned this feedback!
7) Don't be cheap, it might cause you to be excluded next time you inquire with said seller
Anyways, its been fun guys, thanks to all who have reached out asking why I am getting out and "where ive been" , I have some family concerns to handle along with travel to do that isn't going to allow me to airgun this year, I will be picking up a powder burner or 2 for shtf and hd and thatll be the extent of my shooting from here on out.
Happy shooting fellas!
