To all the low ballers out there just hoping around from seller to seller, trying to get a semi/full auto at the price you want to pay with no regards to the sellers lose on shipping fees, me and a few others got you figured out, and you’re getting blocked.

PCP man(you know who you are)if you send me a message and I reply and you leave me hanging again I’m just gonna block you and do what I can to get you booted off of this forum. The tactics you’re pulling by going from seller to seller asking to lower an already awesome deal to your stupid paying price, well, like CM already told you, go buy a new one at AOA then, and pay their shipping fees then you’ll realize our asking prices were actually way beyond fair.

No, you’re not going to get a quality $2400 semi/ full auto that’s in pristine (key word) for the less than $1400 you keep looking for. It once was $1500, now greed is trying to see if you can get for lower. Just BTF off, or pay the fair asking price, or risk just getting booted or blocked like you have already been

Your price is OK i guess, but there is no support for that gun anymore and the newer better model, western airguns are selling around 15-1600 anyway. Blocking just guarantees less buyers in the future. I understand if it was much lower than your asking. I know who you are referring to as well, he tried with guns that I and a friend had recently. Better just to laugh it off.

Asking is one thing. Begging and aggressive haggling is another story. Once a seller has said “no” and they’re no longer willing to lower their price, move along or deal with people exposing you for acting entitled or excessively pushy.

Look at it this way. If a man is on your property and you indicate that he is no longer welcome, you ask him to leave. If he insists upon lingering you tell him to leave. If he still persists, whatever happens beyond that, whether or not it’s to his detriment, is on him. We call that trespassing and because courtesy and warnings have already been extended, I have little sympathy for what comes with that sort of infringement.

In the OP’s post, it sounds as if he extended courtesy to the individual. I am acquainted with the OP and I believe that I have a good enough understanding of his personality to imagine how this exchange may have gone. It sounds to me that the member in question tried to take his kindness for weakness and pushed too hard. In that case, he has to deal what comes with his actions.

yeah,im not a fan of lowballers either.

but also like was said,
cant hurt to ask,
but just dont be insulting with your offer.

ive been known to knock a little off my prices if someone asks nicely,
and they arent offering me HALF of what im asking lol

sometimes you gotta bend if you want to sell your item,
i see guns sitting for months and months without selling,
but a little price drop could get it sold (y)

Very touchy subject as its a free market but...seems like people think their stuff is worth almost retail and its 3yrs old. Everyone has an opinion on their value. If its insane, like $1500 asking and your offered $200 then sure, take a hike, but someone offering $1400, 1300, hell even 1200 isn't hateful, thats practical. Its funny to see how people price their stuff and so many are FIRM but yet they have been renewing to sell the same damn thing for 6-12months! To each his own. I don't bother even interacting with someone who I feel their price is way too high as its been nothing but issues in the past when I offer what I feel is a fair price based on sales and the market. I avoid that seller. Ive passed on many ads due to this.

They do it all the time. No matter how fair the price is, they want you to give it away to them..
If they can get away with it, they will ask for an all expenses paid trip to the Bahama's too.
It's not just here. It's internet worldwide.
I like this one: - A nice RAW wearing a Khales scope.........rifle is priced at 1200. " Does it come with the scope?"
" I will get over 4000.00 worth of stuff for 1200.00!!!!!!! Go me!

One of the things that I look for in a used high $$ gun is how well the seller knows the gun, has taken care of it and has data. I have dealt with Bigragu on several occasions and find his prices fair. I've drooled over that LCS he has for sale, but I just dont 'need' it. However, if I were in the market, I would consider this OVER new due to knowing EXACTLY what I would get, knowing the history on it from his forum posts and knowing that if there is something amiss, he would let me know. I trust some of the sellers here moreso than I would new, and Bigragu is one of them.

I'm never opposed to asking. I've done it, but I try to be reasonable and polite about it. If it's something I know is a screaming deal (or even a good deal), I wont ask. No need to someone to take more of a hit than they have to. In fact, recently I put out an offer on something and got no reply at all. Fine, I bought new and still was cheaper than the asking price. I wont harass, and I would expect the same. Ask away, but if I say no, then ...well... no means no. I think most here are like that. I think the responses to that 'no' tells a lot about a person, as does not having the commoneffing courtesy to reply to an offer.
