[QUOTE="Jcann, post: 3526093, member: 33119"] Many of us may be old enough to remember a time before the interweb and if one wanted to sell a firearm they most likely sold it to their buddies, or placed an ad with the Daily Oklahoman, or possibly pawned them off at a local pawn shop/gun store. Running an ad with the Daily Oklahoman was expensive. It depended on number of words and duration of ad. One ad with the Daily Oklahoman was more expensive than three years ($30) on this site. I sympathize with both parties here but one thing I really can’t abide is those who try to take advantage of the times. Turning our passion into the sport of Kings whereby the common folk can’t afford to play. I view this site more like a local community of like minded Okies who share a passion of hunting and shooting willing to help a guy/gal out in times of need or want. This site should be a site whereby a fair deal is made by both parties. Not a stopgap site for new arrivals to supplement their income. Most of them are not here to join our community or even be a part of it; they are here on a business venture. Maybe with these changing times the site owner should look at changing his business model. If you’re not an established member here and are solely contributing in the classifieds, basically operating a quasi business, pay up or move along. After all, that's the essence of a fair deal.
