When you're browsing the classifieds for guns, which brands/ types do you ignore?

[Colt556]

This is a partial list;

Most striker fired guns
Custom “builds”
Most Taurus
Hi Point
Kahr
Most old Mil Surp
Most Shotguns
Most 10/22s
Most Savage
Most Budget ARs
Most Gucci ARs
Most Gucci 1911s
Most HK
Anything in Non Standard or New Whizz Bang calibers

I say Most because I may look at something depending on what the ad says but usually won’t look at those items.

 

[Ark]

Sig products, parts bin ARs, anything that was obviously bought and stuck on a shelf to resell later.

 

[indyblue]

Don't really ignore anything, but seems like:

AR 15 builds and Glocks are always about retail prices plus 20%

"Have $X in this build" - 125% of what it's actually worth

"Safe Queen" - posting for sale because to satisfy a spouse's demands to clean out the gun safe, but doesn't really want to sell it.

I also try to avoid people with Site Supporter status with postings only in classifieds, members within the last 6 months with 51 posts, and/or members for 20 years with 51 posts.

Also was said above, but I won't pay a higher price so that I don't have to fill out a 4473. I can pass a background check, thanks (insert ATF meme).

Sheesh! Glad I'm oin your good side.

Gl*ks
AK's
heavily modified items

LNIB
Low round count
Hate to let it go

What if I really DO hate to let it go? My feelings are hurt.

 

[bobzilla]

Glock.
End of list.

+1. If I wanted tupperware I'd go open the cabinet in the kitchen.

 

[bobzilla]

Nobody needs more rounds than that.

dude you'll die!

 

[billybob44]

As said upthread, I am mostly "Wood+Steel" type of buyer.
Except AR parts and Glocks?? HA.HA..
Most all other imports I will pass on.
I DO like my OLDER S&W's and Remingtons. Do NOT like Lock Holes, or plastic in these.
I do NOT like MOST Lee loading tools.=Redding-Dillon+RCBS for me.

As it shows on my Feedback count, I do NOT pass on many things?? HA.HA....

 

[CharlesGoodnight]

Handguns: Hi-point, Mossberg, Remington, At first glance, anything overpriced. Calibers like .32, .380, .40 S&W, 10mm

Rifles: Any DIY AR set-up.

 

[Lpherr]

Anything from classified squatters.

It’s actually easier for me to list what I do like. It’s a much shorter list.

But here’s the short list of specific things I do ignore.

“WTT” ads… your Glock is not worth $850… just saying.
Any ad with the word “Custom”. Stippling with a soldering iron and filling the slide font with paint… don’t… just stop. It ain’t custom.
20% percent higher than retail price and then having the gall to tell me it’s more valuable cuz it’s a private sale.
**** you… go fall in a hole.
I like Colt, HK, Glock, SxS shotguns and Lever Actions.

Don’t forget the LNIB except abc trigger, xyz, bbl. custom frame, qrf grips, ported slide, only fired 2 shots. Been in the safe for long time. + 20% over new cost. Ya, I want that one.

put the purple where you want it.

 

[printcraft]

I want full price for every dime I spent for this gun and all of these accessories. Depreciation be damned.

 

[Max Volume]

It's like people who build a muscle car or street rod. "I've got 55K into it plus my labor so am asking 65K". Sorry bud but you
will probably only get 35k for that. It isn't a Counts Kustoms.

 

[KARP]

Anything priced over $300.

 

[Colt556]

Forgot to mention I usually stop reading when I run into the following phrases;

Just testing the waters
Want to see what’s out there
I love my baby but
Had a change in direction
I have $xxx dollars what cha got
I know what I have

And the absolutely worse thing to do is flash a wad of cash like a hood rat!

Luckily all of these aren’t seen on Ingo but most can apply to guns, cars, wheels, model kits or whatever…

I am a seller's worst nightmare.

I own, or have owned anything that caught my interest since 1974. Rifles, revolvers pistols, shotguns, reloading equipment, shooting accessories, etc. I look at what is new, and other than changing the shape of the molded plastics, not much is new, and not much is better.

When I was collecting S X S shotguns, I came home with a gun and found that model already in one of my safes. The one I already had was nicer than the one I bought that day. The collection was too big. (That was before I got married, financing a wife eliminates purchasing too many S X S guns)

Not a lot of new calibers are really much different. Remember the Winchester Short magnums (WSM), followed by the Winchester Super Short Magnums (WSSM)? They would say they are almost like a .300 Magnum. I already have a .300 Magnum.

Mostly, if I am looking for something, it is for a friend. "hey Leo, I am looking for a Beretta 9mm". I will be scanning the ads that next evening.

 

[erasure]

Everything over $5

 

[Expat]

I probably ignore 80%+.
I don't hang out here to buy guns.
It has to be something I am interested in to get me to look.

 

[Nugget]

Any ad with the word “Custom”.

That's about the only thing I ignore as a potential purchase, but I read every one of them. The glocks, 10/22s, and ARs that list out 42 different upgraded parts and tell me that "my investment in this set-up / package is a little under $13,000, so im looking to get at least that in trade" are just good reading. It's not my fault that you spent $450 on an aftermarket titanium takedown pin or $725 on a heavier spring! Put the original back in and maybe we'll talk.

 

[Nugget]

Everything over $5

You're just here for the guys selling 'loosie' rounds of match grade hunting ammo?

 

[Expat]

if it says rare
