[QUOTE="joegrizzy, post: 3758715, member: 45524"] as a buyer, one of my first instincts buying ANYTHING that is used is "why are they selling?" as a seller, it's a way to connect to the buyer, normalize yourself as a seller, and also immediately answer the question of "this does item have unseen flaws that is the reason for sale"? in a passive manner that isn't THIS ITEM IS 100% PERFECT FLAWLESS spam. just saying "i would keep this, there's nothing wrong with it, AND i even like/enjoy it, but i want something else more" is a very valid reason to sell, it's why i've sold basically anything i've ever parted with. that statement usually gets reduced to "selling for boat" because it's less to type or whatever. heck i'll add i bought a cz pcr from a guy on here that was selling his guns because he couldn't take them with him to live in south america. i'm glad he told me because i think that's awesome and i hope he's doing great and thoroughly enjoying his choice. not because i think about doing the same thing or anything......
