    "I know what I have"

    I don't think I've ever seen it on here, but on Armslist and Facebook marketplace...

    I get a kick out of people the lower the price. Call me crazy but I don't like haggling, so if I see something I would like but it's too much I just move on. Then you see the price coming down.... C'mon man, we're friends here. List it at the sale price the first time! Amiright?

    I thought I would throw out a short list of words or terms in a classified post the have little or no meaning to me. Feel free to add to this list.

    Rare-As I only have one
    Desirable-For me to unload (no pun intended) this
    Heavy duty-It still works (See unfired below)
    Good shape for its age-It hasn’t fallen apart yet
    Collectible-For you, I don’t want it anymore
    Unfired by the original owner-But I blazed the hell out of it
    Light drag line on cylinder but unfired-By original owner (see above)
    Last chance-Until I bump it again

    Tell me what I have missed. I’m sure there are a lot more.
    You missed the definitions. I inserted my interpretations!

    Not that it doesn't have a meaning, but the people using it rarely know what it actually means or whether their item actually conforms to a military specification.

    I never get the "TRADE ONLY!" ads. I always think to myself, "you know if you also offer it for cash you can then 'trade' that cash for whatever it is you're looking for?" Seems like it would limit your pool? ‍
    Yeah that one too, why must I pm you to get the price, why don’t you just list it in your ad???

    Gotta admit...the never been fired one gets me every time.I buy a gun it's straight to the range..lol.Some things amaze me.
    Same. Even the back of the safe gets pulled out once a year.

    Lots of dudes with time and money stacking guns to mark up and sell during panics, I think...
