A few days ago I posted a thread about the inability to find 45 cal ammunition. There was a poster that stated that he had some and was willing to sell it. I was at work yesterday and did not see the post until last evening. I talked with the gentleman just a few minutes ago and he said that when he posted that to me, he was inundated with PM's about the ammo. He's sold all that he had less 5 boxes.
To be honest, I know that the 1st guy with money in his hand takes whatever is being sold. But that does not stop me from feeling a little disappointed. I guess that I was relying on the "gentlemans" aspect, which is typical of this site. If I was the one posting the need 1st, I should have had the right of 1st recision.
The way things are going with ammo, I surprised it took that long to dump it. There is no ammo to be had around here in MI. If you buy range ammo, they want you to shoot it there. I have become good friends with the sporting goods manager of the local Wally World and he says they get a few boxes at a time now. They used to get cases of all calibers, now just a few boxes trickle in at a time. Sorry you did not get what you wanted and yes there USUALLY is a gentleman's aspect to this site, however, as stated above, it's seems every man for themselves. Unfortunately.
smartweed or smartass, I am not sure what you are getting at. I am simply making a light hearted stab at some members of this site. I have not found a better site to buy, sell or trade items. This was a bit of a suprise to me and I am slightly dissapointed that I could have fulfilled a need and someone scooped me. But, that's life.
Now, off to find out what the word "pragmatic" means.
Insure guy. If you think your deal was hijacked, wait till you have to use strictly email so you get time stamps. Too, I wiould say that your answer lies in that you did not ask fo rguys to email you with an offer to sell. Then the guy would likely have gotten to youfirst. As I quickly breezed thru your thread, it did seem to be a comment rather than a request to buy. Regardlss, keep your threads in theright category. Your first one should hav ebeen here in WTB adn this one sould have been in Shooting related. (Oh, I'm so confused)
I think I'll go to the club.
Hey ma... Hey MA??? You seen my boxes of 45 ammo? WHAT? YOu didn't?!!!!!!!
Smartweed, you must be a troll. It seams to me that you are doing your level best to irritate the piss out of me. But hey, if Brenda is truly your name I know that it's some thing innate to your nature. This site is full of guys who share a tremendous amount of respect and good natured ribbing towards one another. When there is an issue that shooters take exception to you can most generally find those who come down on one side or the other. But, every now and then you have someone like yourself seem to want to really stir the pot. "Insecureguy" that's funny. Did you think that would upset me ?? No, that's pretty clever.
I just wanted to put it out there that the guy who sold the ammo, called me today and he will try to get a few more cases and maybe we can put the issue to rest. I am sure that Smartweed is ready to move onto the next topic.
Insecure/Insure....Big up's for outing my dyslexia.
I drink Insure as well..no wait; Ensure, that's the drink.
There I go again. Anyhoo. If it doesn't become too spendy we'll all be shootin' for a long time.
I'm right on this.
You astute guys are right! Not once did insure guy even suggest he wanted to buy, he just whined about the availability of 45 ammo! Sorry Jason, you wasted a good bitch! Tom Rhoads
Sorry you missed out on the ammo deal but one of the facts of life on TS.com is that things go fast. That is a good thing if you are the seller. As far as piracy goes, well it is a public domain internet site ....
When selling something now on TS.com I use PM and E mail so I have a chance to be fair to the first member that e mails me or PM's this is the only way I can be fair also the first post that says I'll take it works.
Smartweed: Why don't you take your smart a?? remarks down the road. Your attempt at humor or what ever you call it surely isn't needed here. You are new here so why don't you make your time here short.
This guy's got a right to post his ammo for sale. You probably gave him the idea. Sure, it would have been nice for him to PM you and give you first dibbs, but if he wants to sell another way, that's his business.
Normally the answer would be to reload to fill your ammo needs. However, now it is as hard to find components as it is the ammo. I was at a gun show this past weekend & could not believe the increases in prices over the same gun show 6 weeks ago. One fellow had 1,000 Large rifle primers for $100.00 per thousand. That is totally ridiculous. Everything was insane & it will probably get worse. Colonel
Zara. Have you ever considered that we have not missed you and your funky arrows? Huh?
