After getting roasted by shipping fees and delays, I'm going to say no more money orders, and no transcontinental shipping. None. Not so much as a paperclip. I jumped through all kinds of hoops and got zero feedback for a smoking deal and tons of extra effort on my part.

I just love the zero feedback bullshit. You can’t get feedback if no one buys from you with zero feedback. Fucking stupid. Typical arfcommers

Quote HistoryQuoted: I sold some blem marked rails, 3 pics in the thread. The guy wanted more pics. I told him they were blems, and if he’s worried about how they look that these probably weren’t the rails for him. He said he does care how his rifle looks but still wants more pics in different lighting to make sure they were the correct shade of fde. I just stopped communicating. Not worth the complaints in a week when it doesn’t exactly match his other stuffs. Fifty shades of fde isn’t just a joke, it’s the norm. |

Please don't hold no- or low- EE against buyers. I've recently picked up three (THANKS!!!) but I've had previous successful transactions where the seller didn't leave feedback.

“Can I get some more pics?”
It’s a NIW pmag, it’s black, it has some ribs, it’s in a bag. It looks exactly like every NIW pmag. But sure, I’ll do a photo shoot in multiple lighting conditions, lol. |

Prices at or near retail. As soon as I see that there are no pics in a listing, I’m out. I don’t even bother reading it or looking for the price. |

I have had some very nice and easy transactions with several members here, and the less conversation that is necessary, the easier the transaction has been. I realize some people still struggle with posting pictures, so if I want it I’ll ask for pictures to be emailed, if no pictures I’ll just tell them I’m passing. I just did “I’ll take it, pending pictures”. I got a email with a description but no pictures so I respectfully passed and posted as much. While I don’t agree with most electronic pay services policies, I simply don’t have the time or the want to go get a postal money order so that’s a instant no go. |

How about when you're selling a rare item and the buyer is so uneducated on what you have and keeps emailing/messaging with embarrassing offers and pointing out what he thinks are flaws, not last ditch model indicators.

I love it when the geniuses spend two to three days asking me ridiculous questions treating me like I might be some kind of scammer even after they've probably seen my 100% reputation here.
99% of the time I end up selling it in the meanwhile which is poetic justice. One member got kind of pissed off at me when this happened and I told him if he hadn't spent three days asking me stupid questions he would have probably had it in his hands by then. A lot of times I either ship that day or the very next day. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 0 feedback, or low feedback low post count selling high dollar stuff no pics higher than retail prices, seeing this all the time lately with people selling shit for MORE than I could buy it for multiple places online This. In my mind used glocks are not worth over $500. We have recently had trade in g22s for $299. I f you bought extra mags and a holster or whatever it's not raising the used value by much if at all. I see people overpay by $200 new then get tired of it and try tosell at $100 loss. Sorry you overpaid. Obviously this applies to common things you can buy anywhere online. |

This gets even more baffling when it is something in the thousands of dollars. PP or any of the electronic services, because I don’t have them USPS MO offers a level of protection, I’d prefer that. A certified check is fine too, I always ask depending on the amount, they are less costly to get. |
