What grinds your gears on forums

All the kids joining in the school holidays to ask dumb questions (where they'll probably ignore the answers if it's not what they want to be told) or try to sell their kit for stupidly high prices

Saw a listing, contacted the seller, confirmed I wanted the gun. Got as far as sending my address, he said he'd get it packed, get a quote for shipping, get back to me.

 

I leave it a couple days, don't wanna nag. Contact him. Oh it's sold. Someone else messaged after and offered more, so he went with them instead.

 

Oh it's gone now. Oh okay. Oh nice. Thanks.

Last one that did that to me got bad feedback, not sure if the rules allow that but thought "f#ck it, people need to know what kinda person you are".

If they can't be trusted in a sale, odds on they're cheating cnuts on the field too 🤬

Sellers who swap original furniture (stock, grip, handguard, etc) on their gun for third-party then list the gun for sale without the originals but charge based on depreciation of the complete original gun and the new furniture.

Same goes for people who list a gun and have it pictured with a load of accessories, only to bury "accessories not included" sonewhere in the description. 🙄

 

If it's not included, don't list or show it.

New joiners getting classifieds from google and messaging you to ask if its still available, when the big orange banner at the top of the page says "Completed, Sold".

 

Multiple times this week on the same item which sold nearly a month ago. One last week about something that sold in 2020..

AAP and Hicapa owners will sell you a gun with part names like the Shit Myself BigPP Short Stroker and act surprised when no one wants to pay used car money for it.

It's not just the parts with diminishing returns higher than Danniella Westbrook on Colombian flake that put me off, there's also the hideous colours for the slide and/or grip that look like somebody committed an unholy act on a unicorn.

Or they give it a theme and name it then paint the hardcase in the theme,have gaudy quotes all over it and an insane price tag. (Looking at you "joker" themed aap)
