One thing I hate is when I go to my club and tell my buddies that I just bought a new gun and the first thing they ask is, "How much did you pay for it? How much did you pay for it?" I wasn't raised that way and I always jokingly, evade their question with stupid answers until they give up asking. It's no one's business. And it is rude to ask......... In this case I have to go with two people who agree with my thoughts as they usually do- Larry Brown and Daryl Hallquist. I think it should be up to the person who is selling the gun. Post it and then take it (the negotiations) somewhere else. It is no one's business to see two people negotiating a gun sale. BUT, I think that Dave should be paid up front for the ad, with a time limit, just like in a newspaper whether it is sold or not. You are getting good advertising here, like I said, just like in a newspaper. (Not because of Jim Legg, but in order to see Dave gets paid in the future by others who come on the board.) Let Dave decide how much. Other boards won't let you post at all because of the advertisers............... Also, I might be wrong, but I didn't see that anyone was being mean or rude to Jim when he had the gun for sale. I thought they were trying to help out. Maybe I am stupid. And it is a shame it had to come down to this. But, I don't think stupid comments during this voting are needed either. It makes the rest of us wonder if certain people were trying to be pricks all along. Teasing and joking is one thing and it's fun, but to continue screwing with someone just for the fun of it isn't needed either. It is tacky and below a lot of us.
