    I'm not sure that I'd feel even remotely comfortable placing a firearm in the hands of someone who aside from having terrible grammar, also apparently can't spell...Seriously guy, how hard would it have been to use auto correct?:dunno::dunno::dunno:

    OK, now that pic should be the OP at the top of a sticky called "50 post Tool" or "50 post Fool" (something that rhymes with "rule" anyhow)...
    And all the whiner threads/post should be moved to it.
    One-click-entertainment.
    Admin/Mods, get right on that. :D

    This never ends people that don't get it, ranting and raving about the 50 posts rule. :nono:

    I hope the 50 post rule never changes. This community, the way its run and the outstanding Mod's are the reason I'm on this forum.

    I hope the OP comes to realize the wisdom of this being a community and not a classified ad's web site. :ingo:

    Welcome to INGO...

    Nice use of Caps to represent yelling. You should look up Forum Etiquette and read about it.

    Wait I will do it for you:

    What is Forum Etiquette?

    I direct your attention to paragraph six.

    I agree with the OP, the 50 quality posts rule is stupid. I've been here for 3 years and STILL don't have 50 quality posts. One of these days I will fill my quality quota and be able to buy something. Someday...

    I for one love the 50 post rule,it's like a crazy check.
    In fact I think any new member that starts with a rant about the 50 post rule should automatically banned.

    Oh and what kind of a chef is a Gorbas chef:):

    minimum posts to buy on this forum

    I have read the rules for the classifieds but I need some clarification.

    I know you need 50 quality posts to participate. Does that mean that if you have less you cannot buy? I understand we are all selling our own guns and we can sell to who we want but if someone sends you a PM to work a deal, is that skirting the rules?

    I am not trying to skirt the rules by the way. I am inherently a suspecious person and I think I see something that I am not comfortaable with. Not a big deal, I can take care of it, but I was just wondering what the answer to the question is.

    Also, has anyone had two people working together trying to see what the lowest you will take on a firearm is? You know, one guy offers you "X" then his buddy comes and offers you "X" (a little lower)?

    ETA - I am not really a guy that likes to be jacked around by people that feel they are smarter than me. I prefer to be jacked around by people who ARE smarter than me. LOL

    near Bedford on a whole lot of land.
    You're not supposed to sell to people with under 50 post counts unless they are a site supporter, but there's nothing really stopping you.

    I will say that once I sold to someone with that low a post count because I started negotiating with him before I saw that.

    I will also say that the most hassle I've ever had dealing with folks buying my guns are those with low (over 50, but barely) post counts. As of yet with 20-30 sales on the group I've never had issues with someone with a higher post count (500+). Missed meetings to buy, offering less than the price we agreed when we meet then backing out when I decline, pointing out a scratch on the gun and using that as an excuse to not buy even though the ad clearly stated the gun had wear, claiming the gun was "too dirty" when it had been cleaned before putting up for sale, etc. There's some pretty sleazy people out there with no real ethics who do little on the group but buy and sell guns, and the way the feedback system works there's strong incentive to not leave negative feedback because they can do the same to you.

    Yeah, they need 50 to participate..... if they can't even follow that simple rule, is it someone you want to deal with?

    If they want to skirt the rules and you agree to then that's your choice.. your an adult.

    The rules are there for a reason...... would you really deal with an unknown?
    You have a much higher risk of getting burned.
    Look at craigslist or hoosiertopics as an example.
    Where would you rather deal for a firearm, there or here on INGO?
