I need to keep up....
It goes both ways. Some learn from their overpricing and adapt. Some just write off INGO classifieds and take their trading elsewhere, because INGOer's are...
Amen.
Many years ago I agreed to buy an item in the classifieds without those requirements stated. I showed up and dude had what amounted to a contract - which he was kind enough to make a copy of for me - for the sale. While pissed, it was an uncommon enough item for me to shut the **** up (for once) and do the deal. It was the proverbial "I didn't have anything to hide, I was a proper person" so I just rolled with it. Did not make me happy, however.
Be open in the ad as to "ALL" requirements expected of both parties. "ALL" requirements.
I will pass on any sale with these stipulations period regardless of rarity etc. Just me.
Ingo is set up to make all this easy peasy and the reason we want all members to be active in the open forum/. We come to know who we are dealing with and let's be honest, if you do not know me and how to reach me you are not an active forum member. The reason for the minimum post number etc etc.

I know a lot of folks that are shotgun oriented competitors and they are a group unto themselves. No knock as a few are good friends.
Does having "AL" requirements mean both parties have to dress like this guy to do the deal?
Actually I have had a good run on the classifieds. Of course, I price very reasonable and know how to handle flakes so therefore I don’t mind any questions. To me as a seller, it means I’m done with the said piece and it’s time to go by buy. I trade off dollars for speed in the transaction and do not look back. I always get a kick out of peeps with their book values and WIGI boards especially when their mind is trying to justify its heart.
You either want it or not. End of story.

I don't really see any advantage in offering pricing advice if it's not part of a negotiation to buy. I wouldn't bother and I know some people don't take advise even when it's good. I see guys here with over-priced stuff all the time and they just keep running it to the top. I just brought an item back to the top myself but it's an oddball thing and has been forgotten since listed in September. If it doesn't get a buyer it doesn't sell,......but when an item has been brought back to the top a dozen times and has over a thousand views,......somebody needs to get a clue. People are seeing it. They're just not buying it. Guess why.
I've sold a few guns here and it's always been a pleasant experience. Sometimes I've gotten my price. sometimes not but always at least close. Most of my selling has been on GB and I got started there twenty yrs ago. Nowadays I start with my rock bottom price,....a price so good I'd be a buyer at anything less. And I put a Buy Now price on it that's maybe 10-15% higher,.....still usually a very good price but a price I'd be very happy with as a seller. I ALWAYS get someone messaging me that my starting price is too high(and they're just trying to help me out)and I may try to explain to them why I'm where I am on it, but it's a waste. They never budge and place the minimum bid and the item 9 times in 10 gets snatched up at the higher Buy Now price anyway. It's never over-priced,....the right set of eyes just haven't seen it yet. Happened again just last week. An uncommon rifle parts kit with buildable receiver starting at $1900, BN $2250. Six days into the auction with no bids of course and I've got two guys beating me up through the messaging system trying 'to help a brother out',.......until the right guy comes along and hits the Buy Now. Whoops, it's gone.

I got my first one (12 gauge) about that time for $75. Found it in the old Trader paper. It was later stolen but I was able to replace it a few years ago for under $400.
I say you let them go.
I had a Tac 13 listed on here about a month ago and got a few people laughing at my ad because of how "high" I had it listed.
I had it priced under what they're consistently selling for on Gunbroker and you can't just walk into any store and grab one.
I sold it easily and the buyer got it much cheaper than the 2300 I likely would've got on Gunbroker.
If you don't like the price, you move on. It'll either sit until someone does like it or they'll drop it until it sells.

I can't remember the vintage of my M37. 1957 or something close. I paid around $300 for it about 5 years ago. It's had the barrel cut down to 18" and it is the smoothest action I think I have felt in a pump action shotgun. It has the corn cob fore grip, wood's in decent shape too.
Love the slam fire.
I call it my warden's gun.

I've had that happen a few times. Frustrating to say the least.
