    I get inquiries on items from the indy region pretty much every time I put an ad up. If you think NWI ingoers are just a bunch of illiterate rubes then just say so OP.

    NWI
    Every time I post a for sale ad, I post my location, which is the Indy area. EVERY time I post an ad, somebody from NWI contacts me wanting to trade, and seems surprised when I tell them it's too far, or didn't realize where I was to begin with. I don't seem to get the same thing from the southerners. What gives?

    I guess it could be said in the OP's defense that he didn't mention where he placed all these ads. Maybe he was'nt referring to Ingo NWI'ers. Maybe it was those dopey Hoosier Topic NWI people. :dunno:

    A suggestion if I may: perhaps you should consider putting FOB:Indianapolis or a radius from Indianapolis.

    The two guns that I have sold on INGO have both had FOB:Lafayette in red caps, no problems with guys wanting to "meet me half way" or the like.

    It is your ad, Hoosier. Feel free to set the terms.:D

    FOB for those that did not take Commercial Sales and Paper with Spak: FOB (shipping) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    I just checked, and the WTS, thread, is still open ..... did it sell ?????

    Funny, it says SOLD but the thread is not closed. Could it be that the OP [strike]couldn't[/strike] didn't read the part in the classifieds rules that says you're supposed to close the thread once the item has sold?

    BTW, yeah, don't mess with DA REGION. Dated the one time Pierogi Queen from Whiting. Not only could she bench press the same as me she was much better with a cutting torch and "finding" stuff that fell off trucks in East Chicago.
