Yes, I just placed backorders at Cabelas because Midway and Natchez dont allow it. I have plenty of primers and W231, just got in a 8lb canister the other day. Come to think of it, I used to buy all of my supplies from Midway, I bet I havent given them an order in over a year. They never have anything, wont let you place backorders, and dont have any kind of notification that something you are looking for has come in.

Midway will let you backorder stuff. . . .if the line isn't too long.

My favorite "lowball" is when you have something for sale priced fairly at, say, $300 and some guy will send you an email and say, "The wife will only let me offfer $200 for this gun." I just love those guys. After I puke once or twice I will respond with "Tell your wife you can't afford this gun." I mean, how "whipped" can you get?

I dunno - I'd rather get an offer than not. I can always turn it down. And besides - sometimes the wifes do tend to throttle our fun money...like the one I just got today..............

I had some extra 223 ammo on there one time for like $350 or something. I had a guy write me and ask me if I would take $330 cash for it today. I wrote him back and said no, but I would take $370 for it today......

I've come to an agreement on price through phone calls and emails, only to meet FTF for the deal... and have the guy try to offer less than what was agreed to! Gotta love them guys.

first of all nobody is going to price your stuff for you. secondly when i see a person who i deem a money grabber then i by pass that site and person forever. i am not out to play twenty questions with some one who don't have a idea what they want. when i post, i post a price or my wants. It's just different strokes for different folks.it's like i don't post a picture,well we all know that aint a good idea,but my computer won't post pictures larger then 10 KB,most pictures run around 100KB so i give them my email address and if they respond i send them pictures via "Picasa" that program don't care how big the attachment is. it aint nuttin to argue over its just respect for the other traders. we always have the option of not using this site,don't we?

It's just human that some folks need more direction and less room to use imagination. We have options of not responding to ads, don't we?
