Why ask for pictures

I think this is a set up to start an issue. If it's not, good luck selling NIB factory stardust.
I'm out. Have fun making your point.

NIB is stardust. That's cool.

OK, I pandered to the audience and said the Glock was new in box. I have a confession to make, I'm a frecikn fraud!!! I don't own a Glock 17 I don't even own a Glock 16 or 15.
I'm just saying, for cripes sakes, if I say I want to trade X for Y then what keeps a man from saying ...OH BOY, I SURE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THAT TRADE...SEND ME SOME PICS and oh by the way sir, would you mind if I looked the fire weapon over really good before I'm for sure.

Because even if someone says it's "stock" it may not be..... they may be unaware of a mod and believe it's stock. In the same sense I've seen SEVERAL "Custom" 1911s posted on this board that had maybe some grips and a few small parts switched out. Don't call that custom. Point is you never can tell.

Well then, if they are unaware they are stupid asses and need to gtfo

Because everyone's perspective is different. Your mint condition may not be the same as mine, and you know as well as I do you have some people who have no idea what they have. The guy your trading with may not know you, so how does he or she know if you actually know what stock is?

OK, I'll concede to that but could people just tell me if they want to trade or not before I have to send them pictures and then when I do send them pictures of a gun that has absolutely no scratches why do they back out. Its like this guy I waited a week Sat-Sat then he said he would be by after the gun show. He showed up and looked at the gun then told me he spent too much money at the gun show...dick move.

Maybe gun-selling wasn't your first calling.

It might be best for to just take your items to your local gun store and have them sell for you on consignment. Not everyone is cut out for sales jobs.

I think anytime you expect people to act just like you, or think just like you, you are asking to be disappointed. Asking for a picture is normal stuff and expecting them to make deals on a firearm without even seeing a photo of the firearm is silly. I wouldn't do it. As for people being noncommittal, you better get used it.
