A neutral classifieds experience

[THE BIG SITT]

With all the talk about how classifieds can go right or wrong, I felt like I should remind people that experiences can be quite neutral.

I recently found a gun listed for sale that interested me, so I thought I'd PM the OP. He hasn't replied, but its only been a few hours.

I have PM'd people and never gotten a reply. I would say a few hours is very typical, some guys are not on here often. Sometimes I have had a lag of a day or two to get a reply as well.

Some folks are pretty busy, for initial contact I wouldn't be concerned until 24-48 hours have passed.

I'm not quite sure how to feel about this thread.

I'm on the fence about it...

I have had instances where I have made an offer to buy at the listed price and looked at the users profile and it showed activity between my offer time and when I checked with no response. I check a few more times over the next couple days, most times showing recent activity and still no response.

Ahhhhhhhh... Millennials.... The thought of waiting for an letter to arrive from another continent would be more than they could bear..

I am outraged to hear this.

I feel the need to protest. I don't know why. Now I'm confused.

I would like to thank 17 for updating his avatar.

That's pretty crappy and worse is that you can't leave negative feedback to warn others. In the future, I wouldn't bother with trying to PM them even if they had something I wanted because even if they did respond, they might flake out on the meet up and just end up wasting your time.

Any number of possibilities...

Busy? Working? (I know, I know. This is a stretch for any Bernie Sanders fans) Having second thoughts about selling the gun? Might be cross-posted and is considering offers? Might actually be out shooting and not living his life through INGO? Might have commitments and can't meet for a while?

Some type of communication would be nice, though. Some guys are great on communication, some not. I've traded, bought and sold RC gear online for years. Just comes with the territory.

It sparks definite feelings of ambivalent irresoluteness.

I also had a pretty neutral experience. I saw some stuff and didn't try to buy it. That's pretty neutral...

Sorry, but im not wasting my time responding to you, if you keep trying to trade me a high point for my SKS. I don't care how good it shoots or the fact that it has "bubba's gat" ingraved on the side. I don't freaking care.

I see what you did there.

This . people do work and cannot check email, or use their phone at work. i didn't get on for two days and when i got back i missed out on a gun i wanted to get. some people just don't live on their devices

I hope everyone realizes this is satire. I'm not actually upset. I'm just not pleased. I'm..... neutral.
