Classifieds suggestion

[bigalf]

First off not,a complaint, I love the classifieds as both a seller and buyer. However on another sight, they make you keep the ad up after the sale. I find this helpful because you can do a search and see what sold and for how much. When guys sell a gun here and delete the ad or edit it, it removes the trail and prevents is from getting a competitive price based on selling activity. I usually look at the GB completed transactions to see ballpark.

What do you guys think? Would it he helpful to mark as sold but not remove the pricing info even after it's sold?

Merry Christmas and Happy New year's

Parties usually redact postings, even if they don't delete them. Making it harder for people to delete posts will just make them redact more.

I think that the final selling price should be confidential. Just my .02. Jack.

 

[greencobra]

i think it's the business of the seller if they want the sold prices displayed after the sale.

Are you trying to sell your Llamas and Astras?

Any way to know what handguns are approved in Mass

 

[Compooky]

The downside to showing it would be sellers pricing on the high end and buyers offering the low end and both sticking to their price because there was a previous transaction for that much. Just price or offer whatever you think is fair and if it moves then it moves.

The market changes every day,.. old info is old info

You can message the seller if you want

Yeah, that's for the best. This is the People's Republic of Massachusetts after all.

There are some forums that make you keep the post in tact with the price. I’ve seen admins make announcements making people out them back.

I typically mark mine as sold so they clean up the forum from all the clutter... and also it keeps me from getting messages 3 years later about something that is long gone.

someone messages me to find out what I sold a gun for has big brass balls, they can go f*** themselves.

 

[OnTheRoad]

It should be up to the seller to decide whether the ad remains or the trail is erased. There are plenty of other ways to determine the fair market for a particular item.

Only reason to redact and not post for deletion is to leave the link up so you can leave feedback

I think most folks on the forum value privacy over the convenience of searching through completed transaction pricing. Count me in the privacy club as well.

For shits sake if you’re focused on other people’s completed NES transactions you need more problems in life.

im waiting for @drgrant to cap off this thread with a 1980’s action movie clip where everything goes horribly wrong.

 

[Marty McFly]

@bigalf You asked. They said no

 

[TomMontana]

If you're willing to pay the asking price, then that's all that matters. Some of you act like old ladies shopping. Are you going to have buyer's remorse if you bought a gun for a $100 more than another random person on the internet?

I don't put the link in my feedbacks....

 

[Mtn_Guy]

Take a screen shot of the posting (buying or selling) if you want a personal record of your transactions.

Price is highly variable based on condition, accessories, what buyer and seller believe to be reasonable for any given item, so it’s rarely apples-to-apples, not to mention basic laws of economics

 

[Marty McFly]

I don't put the link in my feedbacks....

I dont either. Nobody's business. For me feedback is whether or not the sale went well. What the sale is I dont care.

 

[p.tice]

I vote delete them. If it sells it sells. If it doesn’t- lower your price.
Possible NES e-auction classified section?

Doesn't it force you? Maybe it doesn't.

You do have a history of keeping things quiet.

 

[Broc]

Do you get to see what other items sold for on GB?
No.

 

[Broc]

It doesn't anymore. I think years ago used to force you. The last 2 or 3 feedback I left, a link wasn't mandatory.

 

[Junior314]

I vote that if your firearm for sale hasn’t sold in over 2 months it moves to a “My wife wants me to sell” section.

The final selling price is confidential now. That's settled between the seller and buyer via PM or off NES communication.

The change I'd like to see is the seller's state of residence required in the thread title. That would be a huge search/browsing improvement for legally restricted transactions.

Yes lol
