rare = probably not so rare, and something nobody cares about. or just simply ugly. people recognize real rare, so don't bother. and your special, unique serial number doesn't typically qualify as rare. also, something isn't rare just because everybody else on earth was too smart to touch it.
bump x 1 = normal, maybe your potential buyer was away for a couple weeks
bump x 2 = okay, maybe your potential buyer wasn't paying their internet bill and got shut off for a while
bump x 3+ = your potential buyer has died
safe queen = never liked it much, maybe some other sucker-er-buyer will take it
price drop = the original price was outrageous, maybe some buyer will step in for this slightly less outrageous price
updated = forgot to mention that the barrel is slightly warped. and the action is rusted shut.
list of features = not necessary. we're gun nuts-er-enthusiasts, no need to list 100's of features. we know the Colt 1911A1 comes with its very own grip safety and barrel "system"
minor blemish = scratch
minor scratch = gouge
minor gouge = missing stock
great truck gun = gun for sale was dragged by truck along rt 128
will sell separately = if you thought that the price was good, read the fine print. the price includes the box, manual, and frame. if you want the slide, barrel, and innards, that will really cost you!
package = comes with the gun, box, AND even the manual!
"check the prices on Gunbroker" = rip off
Feel free to add to it............
