What grinds your gears on forums

Sold a rif once and the guy disassembled it, broke the gearbox, then claimed it arrived broken. Silly bugger had already sent a message confirming it worked on arrival though, but that was still three weeks in PayPal dispute. I think that's the only one that really ground my gears.

 

Other than that there's some funny buggers out there. Shout out to Job Lot posters, always a Perfect Starter Kit. A pile of minging gear, no splits though you're getting that one pistol you might want bundled in with a load of Amazon special, child size, full Multicam Black kit. The worst photos of the worst piles of junk going.

 

Collection only btw.

This is why I take videos of RIFs I sell working before they go in their box as I also had one like that too. I sold some guy a working CYMA Mk12 SPR with videos of it cycling plus chrono results. I get a message a week or so later about how it doesn't actually work and he sent a video of him pulling the trigger and the gun just clicking but in the background, the full stock was laid on the table alongside an AEG spring plus a screwdriver. The guy buying it had been talking about putting a bigger spring it to bring it up to his sites DMR limits so I suspect he'd been tinkering, banged in a massive spring and broke something.

Just remembered another pet peeve,you see an item new in the classifieds, so you start a pm stream:

ME:  Hey mate, if this is still available I'll take it please....

 

SELLER: Yeah, still here mate.....

 

ME: Cool, send me your PayPal & I'll send it over.......

 

Half hour later, your message has been read, the items marked as "sold" but no reply to your earlier pm.

 

Hour or two later......

ME: Mate, still waiting on your paypal details  ?.........

 

2 hours later you see your message has been read, but no reply .........

 

24 hour later...........

ME: Dude, what's occurring, are you selling this to me or what ?

 

Hour later, your message has been read, still no reply......

 

2 days later.........

 

SELLER: Yeah, soz man, somebody messaged before you........

 

WTF, SO WHY DID YOU NOT SAY SOMEONE'S SAID THEY WANT IT, BUT IF IT FALLS THROUGH YOUR NEXT IN LINE ETC.

& WTF IS THE GHOSTING ABOUT 🤬

 

Definitely should be a reason for negative feedback, even if it's only to wake their dumb asses up ffs.

 

I think i've had this today, starting to think that pistol is cursed. Why i'm now not going to mark something as pending again for the foreseeable.

"guys I just brought this gun is it any good"

 

FTFY.

 

Things that grind my gears? People.

Things that grind my gears on airsoft forums? Airsofters. Especially the ones that have an opinion based on internet rumour and aren't prepared to either learn or admit that they may be wrong, misinformed or not in possession of the ONLY WAY to do something.
