Hello Joe, Can you please help with directions on how to make a for sale post?
I do not have an option on my account member screen to click on to start a for sale post.
Can you please help with guidance on what I need to do. I have a shotgun that I would like to sell. Thanks
Hoa

 

I join because I thought this site was about Trap Shooting.

First thing I read is some guy named Brad taking pot shots at my Canadian friends and nothing about trapshooting at all.

Mods should be ashamed to allow this crap on the TRAPSHOOTING forum.

Disgusting thread. Sorry, but this site is NOT my cup of tea

 

Just Joe,

I may be a "newbie" to this site (but not to trapshooting), but I am happy to be here. Hope y'all don't mind me posting some of my shooting photos from events around Texas.

"some guy named Brad"

I remember someone saying the same exact thing back in 1978 when I asked who won the Clay Target Championship at Vandalia

 

As Bill Clinton proved there IS no bad publicity, just as long as they spell your name right. Probably the only thing true in Old chrusher's handle is OLD.

 

Good tip history buff page is worth checking out
Thanks

 

I just found this site and am very pleased to have an alternative forum. I do see some of the same people on here that I am familiar with from other sites. I look forward to participating.

 

am i one of them!?

 

To the site moderator (s)
I hope you can help me or at least make the rest of your members here aware of what I believe to be a scammer on the site.
My name is Dave Lloyd, a long-time trapshooter here in Montana. I am an active member of this site and for a long time , xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
More than a month ago, I advertised for an A400 release trigger on both sites for my Multitarget and a member (Tsphens) replied saying "She had a Phillip's A400 trigger she would sell for $350." You maybe can follow our conversations as we pm'ed. Accordingly, I sent a check to the address this person supplied:
Kathy Olinger
12122 St. Aubin St.
Hamtramck, Mich. 48212
On the 2nd of July, she pm'ed that she had received it.
I understood it would have to clear the bank and on the 14th of July she said it had and she would be sending the trigger the next day.
I waited a decent interval and on the 29th I messaged her, saying still no trigger
To date, despite other PM's, she has neither replied nor have I received the trigger.
I can only believe I have (for the first time ever on either website) been scammed.
It makes sick to think a thief could take advantage of our trust as fellow trapshooters. But our fellowship needs to be aware of this person's criminal intent.
Thanks
Dave Lloyd

 

Sorry to hear about this Dave. So no one else gets any ideas about doing something similar to you I deleted your personal info from your post

Dave,
After about 5 minutes searching the net I found a FB page for a person with that name in Michigan. It doesn’t give the street address but the town/city name matches.

Google maps will show you, using the “street view” option, a picture of the house at the address you provided. Just a heads up bud, in the future get a phone number and actually talk to the person. You can get a feel if they are legit.

BTW, if you find the Face Book page for Kathy Olinger in that town in Michigan, check out her “friends” list.

 

Thank you for checking that out for me and deleting that info. Yes, I guess I should have called. I was lulled by having had so many good experiences with selling and buying on the forums in the past. Learned my lesson!
I don't do Facebook so guess I will just chalk it up to being one of life's lessons.
Thanks again
Dave

How do you start a new Thread Thanks .

 

How does one change the header to show a reduced price.
Thanks JJM

 

After about 10 minutes you can't edit. You can post the new reduced price by adding a post to the original thread.

 

Thanks for the help

 

Is there an issue with the Search function? I haven't been able to do a search today where the search term must be in the title. A random term like Mec or Krieghoff that is set to be only title and only for the last 4 months will return 50 pages of hits.

 

Hey Joe just wanted to know how and when I might be able to post for sale items and how do I do this. Thanks d/m me please

 

Not Joe, but you don’t have to wait on this site. You can post a For Sale or Want To Buy anytime you wish.

Go to the For Sale page and click on the Post New Thread box. Just make sure you have at least one picture and a price, You can read the rules in the “stickies” at the top of that page. Do NOT post any personal info such as phone numbers or email addresses. People can PM ( personal message) you with questions or to discuss the price and get your info.

Welcome to the site and good luck with any sales.

I just checked your other posts and see you already have at least one For Sale ad posted. Why the question about when you could sell something?

 

what do I have for sale? I never posted anything for sale?

 

Sorry, I saw you posts asking about someone’s ad and didn’t scroll up to see it wasn’t yours.
Just follow the directions I posted and you will be good to go,

 

Can someone please advise me of proper protocol for exchange of money and item for products sold through our online wanted/for sale section here on site. I posted an item for sale and someone made me an offer. I have never sold anything online before and I am in the learning curve. I want both to have a pleasant interaction and be fair for both. Any advice would be appreciated.

 

You never sold anything online but you posted a For Sale ad?
You posted a For Sale ad but don’t know how you are going to get paid?

Let’s pretend the “offer” is what you would take for the item. Do the same thing as if it was your original asking price and someone wanted to buy it.

 

Ok, I guess I’m the only one here that has is trying to sell something for the first time so let me simplify my question? When you sell something here, do you get money before you ship? Or do you ship product first and wait for your money? And please no more smart *** replies. If you can help me understand the process I appreciate it, if not please move along.

 

You listed two items for sale WITHOUT knowing how to go about negotiating a deal.
I liked your PM to me where you apologized better than this post.
