I guess I should not do that, going forward?
The seller should have their email address displayed in their profile. You can just send it to them via email.

After further review, it would appear that I've been guilty of making general statements about items that do not fit the guidelines. "Nice gun" or similar sentiments. So I've been part of the problem, and I apologize. I will forego my updated 2020 Sigforum rainbow unitard and do penance in exchange for forgiveness.

Apparently some members need a reminder:

Imagine yourself at a gunshow. You know, as in the old days, when people weren't terrified of human contact. As you walk down the aisle, you see a dealer at his table speaking with an attendee of the show. When you get near to them, you realize they are in the midst of negotiating a deal. You see something you think is not right; the dealer is taking advantage of the attendee, or the attendee is taking advantage of the dealer, or something else seems amiss. Perhaps you know of a more favorable deal for the same item, two aisles over.

Would you have the nerve and the lack of manners necessary to walk up to those two men and interfere? Only a fool, I think, would do so.

Why, then, would you do such a thing here? Would you interfere without fear of repercussions, merely because no one is physically present to knock you on your ass?

Do not interfere, gentlemen, in any ad in the Classifieds section of this forum. Do not make commentary, even if you feel it to be favorable and might perhaps boost the sale of the item or items. Do not post to say that you know of the same item available for a lower price elsewhere. Do not post to 'bump' an ad, though your intent may be pure.

Post in a member's ad only under these conditions: You are interested in purchasing an item or items for sale but you require clarification. You can ask your question in the ad, or you can post that you are emailing the seller with a question or perhaps even an offer.

Or

Post to say "I'll take it" or to make an offer.

No commentary about item quality or price or alternatives. No posts to say "That's a great looking (whatever)". No posts to advise the seller that the item he is selling is manufactured by an enemy of freedom-loving people.

So, questions to the seller with an eye towards purchase are allowed.

Posts signalling email incoming to the seller are allowed.

Offers are allowed.

"I'll take it" is allowed

Other than that, stay out of a member's ad.

If you have a concern that someone is running a scam, or gouging, or anything that seems fishy, use the report-this-post function to alert SIGforum staff members to the problem. That's the little yellow triangle with the exclamation point. This appears in the lower right hand corner of each post.

Can I make this any clearer? Does anyone have any questions?

I had someone do this in a classified thread I posted a few weeks ago. Told me what I was looking for at the price I’ve seen them going for was too low, that he would not sell his to me at that price range and I wouldn’t have any offers from others, either. That’s great, dude, keep that shit to yourself and go about your business. Absolutely unbelievable. Whether it was due to his helpful input or not, I got no sale offers. Went looking elsewhere and found what I was looking for at the price I wanted to pay.
