Browsing through the classifieds is like...

Edit: Text is "Original Price $24.99 - "Only 10,000 rounds through it!" Minus .01c - You pay $24.98!"

If you think cash asking price is bad, just wait till you see the trade offer values. On OSA, a used firearm is worth 50% MSRP to the buyer, but the same buyer's used firearm is worth 110% of MSRP in their perceived trade value.

True.
The same could be said of pawn shops & most gun stores.

Yep. Then you clearly type "Only trade interest is XXX" and you get 400 offers, I have this monkey Glock, 100 rounds of ammo and a 3 dollar holster

Make sure you have context to the argument before starting a thread bashing the classifieds in order to circumvent the bashing the classifieds rule. lol

This is context

I'm telling you, the Glock 34 and a couple hundred rounds of 556 trade offer is a thing.

It's a conversation starter like "How about that weather" or How bout them Cowboys"

For me browsing the classifieds is just self torture. I see so much I want but can not have.

I really enjoy just seeing what's there .. People are overthinking this stuff, take what appeals to you and leave the rest be if someone has an overly optimistic view of their items.

My only gripe about any classified is the folks who trade offer fish . So an offer to hit the owner up for an ambiguous trade is a turn off for me. I usually know exactly what I want to trade for and don't like wading through offers to trade for lab rats , used tires and lawn mowers .
