Buying and selling on INGO

She is actually. If I sell off some stuff she gets to go shopping.
If I buy some new stuff with the money from selling stuff off she gets.......wait for it......to go shopping.

I'm sure glad my wife can't read this post. I have her convinced that I can't ​sell firearms!

Well, the two aren't necessarily mutually exclusive...

I have had people become "ghosts" with PM's, never had a deal set in stone. But have had a few times exchanging PM's about an item, feeling a deal was about to happen, then poof...........never hear from them again.
I don't get it, just man up send a message saying you changed your mind, or make up a story about how your car suddenly broke, or the washer went out, or whatever "bad luck" you can come up with.
Much better than to just stop communicating.

That sounds like dating....but seriously, the few deals I've done via INGO all went very smoothly. I follow a few local groups on FB more for a laugh then to actually buy anything.

Yep, a Glock...and it jammed on her.

Gotta be honest, I have had several transactions and every one of them has been great. The people I've met have been folks I would hang out with if we lived closer. The people are what make this site and the folks that run it do a good job keeping the wheels on so to speak...Thanks for your hard work.

Some of the positive feedback left by other for me have stated that I was on time and didn't haggle on the price at the meeting. I would not ask for a lower price after we had already negotiated the deal before the meeting. If someone tried that on an item I was selling I would just say "No thanks" and walk away.

Has this happened to anybody? If so, how did you handle it?
Has anybody offered a lower price? If so, what was the driver for the lower price?

I know this is not what you meant by this, but I have been offered a lower price a couple of times when I was the buyer. The sellers in both cases IIRC were just running a little late for the meet up. I didn't ask for the price break, but I thought both of them were awesome for doing so.

To me, that's what PM's are for, once a price is agreed upon, then to me that is the price.
I have never asked, or had anyone ask me for a lower price at the meet itself.
I think that is bad form to do so.

You my good sir should receive a solid for your honesty. Many would have smiled and moved on. You did not.

I love you man.......

Only positive experiences for me buying/selling here. Armslist *mostly* positive - the worst that's happened has been a couple of no-shows after all the details were worked out via email and phone. I've never used Gunbroker except as a research point.

I like dealing here because for the most part both parties know what they are looking for and know the value of what they see.

Yep it was. I went there so many times they used to call me out (I was known as "Uncle Jim") from the DJ booth when I walked in. This was from around 2000 to 2004 or so.
