billytheghillie Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Makes me wonder when I see a gun for sale on gun watch, and the ad goes something like this== Lovely condition O/U 12g ( gun make ) for sale. Only fired X amount of shots. Need room in my cabinet, or upgrading £xxx for quick sale. Then you show a bit of interest in the gun and ask will you R.F.D. it? They come back and say no. Why bother advertising it if they are not willing to R.F.D. it. I know everybodys circumstances are different, but if you can go and buy a gun surely you can go back and R.F.D. it. Rant Over.

fern01 Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Another favourite is the guy who pretends he wants to buy your gun or whatever your selling but wants you to send loads of photos. You go to all the trouble and then............ Doesn't even have the decency to reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harnser Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 I would only want to sell a or buy a gun face to face . I wouldn't want anybody to send me payment untill they had seen the gun . I wouldn't buy a gun without seeing it first . Saves all the hassle of the buyer not satisfied with the gun when it arrives . I have had a number of deals off hear and all have been face to face without any problems . Harnser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd want to see the item I'm buying or for them to see the item I'm selling before taking the money. I wouldn't want the effort of rfd easier face to face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the one that annoys me with our products, weve often gone to the trouble of designing and making an item,sending dozens of messages along the way, then send a dozen pics, only to get ignored, a simple no thank you is enough.

fern01 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 There's an EASY way round that, meet half way! Great when the buyer can try a gun and be sure it feels right. Perfect way for a retired old *** like me to spend a pleasant afternoon in good company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodie Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 The cost of RFDing a gun is prohibitive for a cheap gun. It adds maybe £75 both ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkfanz Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 rfd is usually £25 each end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Or when you strike a deal around the transfers then they never reply again even when you send "don't mind if you want to pull out just let me know either way" sort of message nothing. Gets better when they ask you about another gun months later saving email addresses does have its uses!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
