Do you respond to this…as a SELLER??

[DoggyDaddy]

Yup, I’ve done that before as well. If they don’t want to negotiate I either say thanks and move along or agree on the asking price. I’ve never had any issues with any Ingo member and deals have gone fairly smoothly.

Yep, never hurts to ask (and I'm not talking about a ridiculous lowball offer). To me, a good deal is when both parties walk away happy.

I did not read #14 but I will state this....."AGAIN"
To all that are so lazy as not to post a full size and easy to see detail pic of you item I really do not like you.
That said, Ingo has made this so damned easy to post a good set of pics showing all aspects of the item.
It is up to the seller to be honest as to condition. If it is not up to what was discussed then yes, mount up and roll out. Then let me know.
Selling a damaged or faulty gun is a serious sin.

I remember one time, there was this guy that had a bunch of .308/7.62x51 ammo for sale in various lots. Everytime I'd PM him about one of them, he'd tell me that that particular lot had been sold! Finally hit on one that was still available, met up with him and paid his asking price. Got home, and found out there were considerably MORE rounds than what was advertised for the price.

Well, I wasn't having any of that! I thought to myself, "What is this joker trying to pull??" I called that SOB back and insisted that he let me send him the additional funds to make it right! Some people, I tell ya...

Seems I heard about that. Been a while. Good to know honest people.

Last I heard, that seller had become a mod here.

Damned Mods.

I think I only just did shoot up the last of that Hirtenberger, but I've since bought 800 more rounds. Price wasn't nearly as good though!

I won’t ask ask what is your lowest dollar but I will make an offer. If it’s too low, the seller should either counter or say no. Just because you are asking for $X doesn’t necessarily mean it’s worth $X. Even if it is worth $X to the seller it may be worth $X-a to the buyer because it is not what he exactly wants but is a plausible option.

100%

I must be the only one that likes to negotiate in person. Bet car dealerships love yall lol. Im not agreeing to purchase anything used without putting my hands on it and inspecting it myself first.

I always assume that after meeting up, there is a SLIGHT chance that the buyer backs out. So far, that has never happened to me, I send a ton of photos/videos/and am eager to answer all question the buyer might have. But I wouldn’t give negative feedback if the meetup was conducted and the buyer respectfully changed his mind. Obviously there are some outliers to this, specifically depending on the effort it took to meet up in the first place.

 

[dw.watts]

On INGO, I'll usually ask if they'd consider a "slightly" lower price, even if I'm willing to pay the asking price. If they say no, I usually reply, "Okay, just had to ask. I'll take it."

I’ve done the same. If something is a great price, I’ll still try to see if I can get $20 bucks off. If they say no-go. I have the exact same outlook…”well, I gave it a shot!” Let’s do this!

I like that stainless 44 Super Blackhawk in the classifieds but my price is about $500 so I just look at it now and again

If it is as advertised I'm not negotiating at meet. If it is not as advertised I'm not buying...

I once made 2 back to back trips with a member here. Went the first day to buy a pistol he had listed and when I arrived we chatted and he asked if I was interested in another he was going to list. Asked his price might of negotiated a bit but the next day or two drove back with more cash to buy from him again.

 

[Jsomerset]

Not a problem. You have to kind of wonder though if you include firm on price but still not a problem. It’s kind of like chastising the little woman for asking you if you want coffee or milk with that after telling her to rustle up a 4 egg bacon & chive cream cheese omelet with whole wheat, fried potatoes, sausage gravy and a ham steak. Just no need to feel put out.

It's part of my selling process to let a buyer know that upon inspection, if they don't want it for whatever reason, they are under no obligation to buy.

I have never had a person exercise that option. I tend to under represent what I sell.

And it's not uncommon for me to have something else extra that I toss in without listing it or even saying anything.

Like when gave a guy a few hundred .38 special casings when he bought my .223 dies.

I also really like giving something extra. I think it makes a great impact and goes a long way to show that you want the buyer to walk away happier. Even if it’s something silly like a challenge coin or a patch, etc. I love patches, so I’m always buying them when they’re on sale.

You’re talking about that stainless one? Thing is beautiful. I’ll bet he would take $750…maybe even $725 if you make the sale really easy on him.

I have always just assumed people ask more than they will take.....I thought that's how the world works. If someone says firm and it is more than I want to pay, I just skip it. No sense in wasting both our time. My time is as important as a sellers time. I do this all the time, especially on cars....tends to tell me how motivated a person is. I would rather know what a man is thinking than guess what he is thinking.

Which is why one should not put firm in an ad. Sales is a number's game. Don't have people pass by without considering it.

You can always say no when they offer you less.

You sold a gun and walked away happy?!




SHAME!!

I have....but pretty much always there was something replacing it within hours
