I have one I will trade for a custom AR in 223 ManBun. Must have the shoulder thingy that pops up.

That made LoL here at work and people just look over like I'm nuts.....223 ManBun.

No it is not. 223 ManBun is the new wildcat made from necking down 300 Blackout. I hear there is a 300 ManBun made from necking up 6.5 Creedmore but I know nothing about it.

Far from it.. just despise the kids that make all the childish comments.

Hahaha man at least you are consistent

Correct.

One of the things that confuses me recently is why they have comments on the classified section if we aren’t really supposed to comment. I know I’m not supposed to hammer people for their horrible listings, but the comment box is just so tempting.

If there's something good to say and encourage a sale, I don't think people mind.
But if you have to write something because you can't help yourself, say "Nice!" or "GLWS". It helps with self-discipline and buffoonery control.

As an example, I have $1600 invested in a firearm. Normal used resale value for the item is $1200. If I ask $1000 in order to facilitate a quick cash sale, why would want to take a lesser valued trade? So I can flip it for less money while taking on all of the risk?

Every time that I list something for sale on OSA, (for less than the going rate) I'll receive multiple trade offers from individuals with a used firearm and accessories that wants 100% of their original purchase price for the new firearm and new accessories. Their reasoning? They have the same amount invested in their trade fodder as I am selling my firearm at a reduced cash price. In actuality, their item is worth half of what they are trying to trade for. Having a higher trade value wouldn't be a thing if people could objectively and fairly value their trade items.

Trade value is only an amount in the minds of the two parties, and they will seldom agree. A similar comparison could be trade-in value of a vehicle.

But posting a sales price of $xx.xx, and a trade value of $xx.xx + y makes no sense.

I'm amazed at some of the crap listed and how much people expect for it. Someone should make a reality show that just roasts stupid ads all day.

Lol, welcome to the site. Nice first post
