[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1370054, member: 229"] This site is a community and is for giving/receiving of info, etc... The problem is that you're brand new, and your first post wasn't just for info, but you mention both that you're not interested in keeping the guns (you then listed them each with all the detail possible) as well as the possibility that you might be willing to sell them in the future and that you're looking for other guns specifically by make/model (and listed those). Knowing how message boards with private messaging systems work, it doesn't take a genius to see that a quick way around the classifieds would be to "advertise in as much detail as possible" what you have and want for trades and then casually mention that you don't intend to keep them and that you want other guns specifically. Then just wait on the PMs to roll in. No offense, but if that's not trying to get around the 20 post rule, I don't know what is. No doubt by now, you've already gotten several PMs with low-ball offers, so the real test will be to see if you remain here as a contributing member or if you bail because you didn't get what you wanted by way of bypassing the classifieds system (or if you quickly get your required posts and end up as a classifieds-only member). I'd love to be wrong about this, so by all means - prove me wrong. [/QUOTE]
