    Rant time.

    I’m happy to entertain offers on anything I sell unless specified otherwise. I do it myself to others in the PX. Who doesn’t like a good deal. I’m not a commercial supporter, just a guy that enjoys shooting and most of the shit involved with it. I buy 99% more than i sale and appreciate the PX. I also appreciate the rules.

    That being said, if you’re so poor you need to troll others posts and shit in in for sale threads because your broke ass participates in a hobby you can’t afford, then fuck you.

    Poor planning on your part doesn’t constitute an emergency or obligation to your charity on mine. Stop being poor and apply yourself. Stop expecting hand outs for unicorn or rare items that are no where to be found or always command a premium.

    I always thought "Christmas" was a term for mixing red and green chili sauces. I like his version better.

    Fa .. La .. La

    I have no use for it but it’s common sense. If you haven’t sold it and it was posted in September it’s either not a hot ticket item or it’s priced too high.

    Guy had an odd reply to the post however “I’ll pay less because it’s a spare for me”. I think “ I’ll pay less since every sharp edge has nicks and shitty spots” would make more sense.

    Also not sure how a beat up looking fail zero bolt is such a “rare” item.

    Definitely too high. That’s the point. I don’t want or need to sell anything. If you really need it then stop being poor and just buy it.
    Fairly sarcastic but seriously.
    The reason I have all the stuff these people don’t is because I planned accordingly. Hell, just be glad I’m even willing to part with some of these things or move on down the road.
    One example is FGMM primers. I had several extra bricks and so sold some early on in the pandemic for $150/1000. Yes it was high but they were no where to be found and some people want to keep shooting. Plenty of poors crying then and now that’s the price everywhere and some people would knock their grandma over to get them for that price. 🤣

    that or be more poor everyone loves a happy hobo and what's wrong with asking for something less than the cost of making it ? just say no and move on to a better offer 1/2 the fun of buying someone else's crap is haggling down the price. sometimes you can get a way better price sometimes not but unless you try you will never know . no one buying something from someone else should ever pay retail prices on a used item no matter how new the seller says it is . besides now that we know it bothers your people will tripple there efforts just to watch you loose it . lol watching another person loose there mind is both wonderfully fun to see and strangely satisfying to have had a hand in causing , but best of all it's completely free so yea poor's .

    As I said originally, I do that too. I’m not easily offended and can tell someone to fuck off as easily as politely decline the offer. I don’t get my feelings hurt if someone doesn’t accept my offer. It’s usually whatever I’m willing to pay and likely don’t really need it anyway if I’m haggling.

    What's with the nude Mexican porn on the TV in the background. Do I need a secret code word to buy what you're really selling?

    🤣 just saw that
    They don’t give a fuck in Mexico. That’s their normal soap operas. They’re on in all the local places. Hell, there’s a corner with toy kitchens and shit to keep the kids in while the parents hang out all afternoon.

    Sometimes there is a fine line between lowballing and a reasonable offer. I bought my AIAX from a guy on the PX and the offer I made was probably flirting with that line, but hey the guy accepted and I got a great deal. My point is it doesn't hurt to ask and what does it take 30 seconds to respond yes, no, or make a counter offer.

    Retardation.

    People always think their shits worth more online. I see stuff more than new a lot more often than I should. Also shit people have beat on for years that's ragged out and they want 500, but it's 600 new. Haggling down on that isn't being poor it's offering a fair price lol.

    People forget just because you set a price, it doesn't mean that's what it's worth.

    There's nothing wrong with making an offer, op is being a twat. They may say yes or they may say no. Some people post high prices looking for a sucker.

    Edit-
    I will say the offer wasn't given to him in a normal way and the buyer could have went about it better, but the general consensus is OP is generally still a twat 😁
