Your on target Beau B....I use Armslist on rare occasions...
I don't think an OSA member would say that to me. Matter of fact, I have never had that happen before.
To be clear I never thought it was an actual OSA member, but maybe a newbie. They obviously wouldn’t have been a member long!
I've used Armslist since at least 2010 and have never had any kind of issue with anyone. Although I have only made one transaction since they became a subscription site. I cancelled after that.
I sell (non firearm related to this date) and buy things on craigslist.
My opinion is there is no deal until the cash changes hands and the item changes hands.
In a face to face transaction, whether buyer or seller, either has the right to walk away.
I feel more so with the buyer too.
If someone calls me after scheduling a meet and says they have changed their mind, I simply say ok and wish them well!
If I am selling something, and someone shows up, looks at what I have to offer and says, no thanks, thats ok, as a seller, I respect their right to refuse the sale.
But once you put your cash in my hand the deal is done.
I also have a disclamer in my ads that there is no returns, refunds, no warrentee, and I am not responsible damages on site, or for the use of what you are buying!

Well I lied about not selling another gun. Lol. Sold one this afternoon to a member. It went great! But no bueno for arms list. I ain’t never using it again.
I have purchased one thing off of Craigslist, a dog. I know I know. People say to never do it. It was the best decision I could ever made. I can’t imagine my life without my girl. But I agree with what you said for the most part. I would be mad if I was selling something and took time out of my day to do it and then the person backed out. But if I was given plenty of time I wouldn’t be upset about it. I just don’t like the types that lie and lie and lie and then back out.
