Yeah, I Miss the Classifieds...Bought a lot of Stuff over the Years...

I never noticed, they sell stuff on here? I thought this was a right wing bitch session. Last comment purely incidental.

Only thing bought, sold, or traded here are opinions. Worth every penny you payed for em...

Likely because of the shaky reliability
of the mails and the freight companies
right now.
I did a spur-of-the-moment deal a few
weeks back that took about 3 times as
long both ways as it should have.
Now we have all the crises and everyone
ordering literally everything online, groceries
and household goods and all, and the
sandbaggers that the various shippers
have piled up pre-pandemic have put
the kibosh on fast efficient movement of
goods around the country.
I've not been trying to sell anything I
have lately. All that ^ ^ aside, the sheer
number of online tire kickers has cut
my wheeling and dealing enthusiasm
back to pretty much nil

Some stuff gets posted to classifieds here and generally sells. But the other site is living off the classifieds almost entirely along with the cannon forum.

If you guys would post stuff to sell here it prolly would.

If all you are seeing here is PBSF and politics it's because that's the only places you are looking. I post stuff to the other forums all the time and so do several others. Use the what's new since last visit link and see what you've been missing.

id be more interested in seeing more guns and shooting posts here then classifieds. That is what the OLD greybeards was all about. Not religion, politics and selling a scope.

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!! My favorite lately are the people you exchange a dozen emails or texts with, only to find out that as soon as they get
their paycheck / tax return / stimulus check, their gonna buy it. And then they get belligerent when I won't hold it till then.

On my screen it shows most of the classifieds locked.

There seems to be problems with the HR classifieds, they all show "error". Thought about replying to a wtb ad that was just moved on Mar. 23 2021 by quickdtoo but the original post date says 2014??? The ad shows current in the WTB section???

DEACONLLB · « **Reply #10 on:** March 23, 2021, 08:58:22 AM »

Just my opinion so take it for what it is worth. If the classified things were at the front of the page and not way off in the bottom of the sight. When I joined the classified were on the page that loaded up and I sold traded and and bought many a item on here, post for sale and it sold in most of the time on first day posting. What ever you were looking for some one had it and was willing to sell or trade. I would really like to see the sight take off and be an enjoyment once again.

The thing that wears me out is the
"post pics please " when none are
really needed. I'd had some boxes
of bullets for sale, and I got that post
pics please from 2 different " buyers "
Well, if you describe " Sierra 308 150
grain number # XXXX , that should be
sufficient for a genuine buyer since they
already know what they're looking for.
One wanted me to open a factory sealed
box and take photos of the bullets.
JMHO- if I'm looking for say, a stainless
steel Walther PPK/S, the chances that
I don't know what one looks like are very
very slim. These days people spend hours
online researching every purchase they
make. Most of those I encounter are just
playing around out of "boredom " and never
intend on buying anything. ( how the bleep
do people get so bored these days?)

Problem is. We have way to much to bitch about. Most (Left) seething on the back burner...

Except back when I would buy whole Lots of collector cartridges, sight unseen , with the gent only saying some thing such as -- I inherited my father's collection and I do not collect selling whole Lot -- with a winning big, I will no longer buy without seeing.

At a gun show, I bought a sealed box of .22 Dominion Cartridges, for shooting, because I had not seen them for sale for decades.
God it home , opened it , and it was full .22 Federal.

I had that happen a second time, a few years later and after the second time, you decide stupidity has just rewards and I am done being stupid.

Mule 11 · « **Reply #15 on:** March 23, 2021, 12:16:13 PM »

I am smart enough to look at what I buy. Even if after I buy it. I have had excellent dealings with most people and when the deal was not as described I don’t deal with them again. Paying for your education is the way I see it.

Ranger99 · « **Reply #16 on:** March 23, 2021, 12:17:05 PM »

I could understand some unique collectors
item, or a collectable special edition whatsit.
I'm talking run-of-the-mill everyday nondescript
things with no remarkable qualities.
Things a genuinely interested buyer would know
all details in advance when approaching a seller

Mule 11 · « **Reply #17 on:** March 23, 2021, 12:38:32 PM »

I get your point. I have told picture wanting (buyers)? to look it up on the internet...

orerancher · « **Reply #18 on:** March 23, 2021, 01:01:45 PM »

I figure it's no big deal to take a Picture on My Phone, and Text It to Em...

Mule 11 · « **Reply #19 on:** March 23, 2021, 01:45:05 PM »

I have done that and that is different than posting a pic. Then they have your phone number even if they have zeroe desire to buy.

When selling something locally online, I seem to average 4 to 5 tire kickers before making a sale. The upside is when you finally make a sale, the buyer is usually a heck of a nice person who shares similar interests. Over the years I've developed a huge network of "good guys" both out of the area and local who I deal with on a regular basis.

In the Retail Sales Division of the Internet, we have to deal with the General Public and fools who will drag you down in their ignorance - if you let them. Lately, I have watched too many YouTube videos labeled "Don't Do This..." ...At Gun Shows, ...With Revolvers, ...With Pistols, etc., and learned so many things I have never done that apparently others do with "regularity". I am "dumbing down" by increasing my Learning Curve of the ignorant and stupid.

We should never let others discourage us in the Classified ads. That discouragement is counter productive to selling stuff. We should revitalize and continue to use the Reloaded Classified Ad section to trade and deal with one another, trusted individuals, as usual, and with the General Public that passes through, encouraging them to stay a while, provided they don't "do", act, ask, the stupid things that lazy, ignorant, self-indulgent, "spoon feed me" people do.

Matt made some kinda change to the classifieds he claimed would be a great improvement. Seems most all think it wasn't, me included. I'll see if I can get him to put them back as they were. I can move the forums higher up on the forums index I think.

DEACONLLB · « **Reply #23 on:** March 24, 2021, 06:52:55 AM »

I posted a wont to buy on the Contender classified back in July of last year and never got a response. same thing I had some swaged bullets done by a member who did great work wont to see pictures sent pictures never heard back. It would have been nice to at least got a reply saying thanks but cant use.

I tried to look thru the ads here to see what kinda swaged bullets it was you had for sale. I didn't seem to find them. I might would have been interested depending on what they were.

Was it here on on the other GBO?

I've spoken with Matt and he said he would undo whatever it is he did awhile back to the classifieds here. I know it made them pretty difficult to use even tho he thought it made them easier. I have moved that section up below this section so folks don't have to go looking for them.

Mule 11 · « **Reply #25 on:** March 24, 2021, 11:34:03 AM »

I think. This is a new forum and will take awhile to get up to speed. No need to change anything as time will filter members to what they are interested in. BTW. I still have not seen a way to contribute to this site... Thought I read something about graphic art t shirt printing?

Graybeard · « **Reply #26 on:** March 24, 2021, 12:04:59 PM »

So far Matt has not put up a way to contribute. He is still covering cost out of his own pocket. That's the way I did on the other site for a few years until it got more established and then we began taking in funds from advertising and donations.

He isn't hurting for money. I guess someday he'll get around to it but hasn't so far.

Mule 11 · « **Reply #28 on:** March 24, 2021, 12:38:24 PM »

Regardless. Matt has a screen printing business and if anyone has a right to sell his or her wares, it’s him... From what I understand he has a fine product and if others are not interested. So be it. Maybe a link to his business?

I think this is the link to their site:
