Wht don't people follow thru. ?

With their agreements when they make a deal on a sale or trade?
It gets aggravating when someone says I'll take it and then won't call you back and answer your calls or texts.
I have had 2 in the past couple of weeks, One sent a text on an item I had for sale and said he would take it on the 26th, I called him on the 27th and the 28th and sent a few text messages and he didn't even have the decency to say I am backing out? he just won't answer or call\text back? I know I can relist it but come on guys MAN UP a little bit sheesh!!!!
The other is a trade that they have made an offer and I said yes. Maybe they will call soon???
If your not gonna honor your word then don't make the deal !!

Ok rant off, Thanks

Feedback!!! If it was me, come kick my arse.
Seriously, it has been a crazy couple weeks, but 2 weeks ought to be enough time to take care of business.

Hey Hipshot, glad you are feeling better!

I have only had one deal like that. Held a rifle for a week because a new member wanted to buy it. I held it and then never was able get contact back. I won't do that again.

Sucks to see people doin that. Thats usually how I have bought my parts for my car over the years. alot of times I made deals for a couple weeks out or a payment plan with the seller if they were willing to work with me. Only a few times did something come up that interfered with the deal & I always made sure to be prompt about letting them know & always finished every deal I ever made.

Its not hard to stay in contact, heck sometimes thats the easiest part of making a deal.

Leave feedback or it does no good

Fortunately I haven't ever had this problem dealing with OSA members.

I did have guy just flat out screw me over through Armslist when I posted my AR there, after not getting any interest in the classifieds here.

I didn't want to use Armslist for that reason, but needed to sell it.

I talked to the guy twice. He said he definitely wanted it, and we set up a time and place to meet.

He calls me up later and says he had lunch with a friend that had some ARs to sell, and he bought one of them instead.

I told him what kind of guy I thought he was, and he just said "I'm sorry".

He texts me the next morning, and says he feels bad, and will still buy it, but for $200 less than we agreed on because I was asking more than it was worth on the market.

I didn't answer his text, sold it that afternoon, and could have sold it ten more times, before the day was over.

Hey guys, if I ever do that please just pm me or call or whatever. I bought some mags from b-man, but between being sicker than a dog, trying to catch up at work, and trying to catch up here, I didn't send the money when I said I would. Fortunately, we know each other, but if I ever do that just pm me.

Also, if you guys contact me and I say I'll get you the name of lawyer who may be able to help you, and then go silent, just pm me. I stay so swamped, I'm surprised I remember to wipe my butt.

Sry to hear hipshot. People are people and I've pretty much learned to lower my expectations of them.

Thankfully most everyone here on OSA that I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with has held up to their word. Percentage-wise, I think we are MUCH better than the average population.
