You may be right. We may be better off looking at $3000.00 AR's and AK's.If your a non dealer seller it can hurt your sale by pushing you off page 1. But it doesn't really bother me.
Because they don't "belong" in the dealer section. As we pay more than your minuscule $21/yr we get to post both in the regular classified AND the dealer section. There is always the ignore feature. I have to admit, I put Gun Parlor and a number of other useless dealers on ignore long ago and it made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.Why don't dealers keep their ads in the dealer section, where they belong.
Um, So you say, dealer ads don't belong in the dealer section. So who's do belong in the dealer section?Because they don't "belong" in the dealer section.

This is a man I respect.@Broccoli Iglesias As you damn well know I do not sell 40S&W and I do not sell Shields (or Taurus or highpoint or rock island or...)
C'mon man. Dealers pay more because dealers are here to make more dollars. That's the long and short of it.Because they don't "belong" in the dealer section.

I am saying they dont belong exclusively in the dealer section. Your premise is that dealer ads should stay where they belong. They don't "belong" in the dealer section but in ALL the classified forum. Those are the rules and the terms of the $100/yr we dealers pay (by we I mean my dealer account @Dean Safety, known for posting Shields on a daily basis)Um, So you say, dealer ads don't belong in the dealer section.

I only speak for myself when I say dealer ads have become a pain in the ass. I'm sure I'll end up blocking all dealers because of few.I am saying they dont belong exclusively in the dealer section.

I make fewer dealer postings than any number of green members. The vast majority of dealers make fewer dealer postings than any number of the high volume green members. Dealers are green members that have ADDITIONAL privileges, not fewer. We have our own forum. We have a communal dealers classified forum. We can delete posts in the dealer area (we clean up our own trash)C'mon man. Dealers pay more because dealers are here to make more dollars. That's the long and short of it.
I have to say That I don't run into alot of your ads. As you say and I agree, it's a handfull, usually without store fronts, that are the the real pains.I make fewer dealer postings than any number of green members.

Just start ignoring the dealers that annoy you. We all know who the annoying ones are. If it was not uncool to do so, I would share my ignore list to get you started. The problem is that it would take down @Broccoli Iglesias and all his shadow accounts too
And I don't look at any of them.Ads are ads. It doesn't matter of it is a dealer or private party.
I look at em' all.....
It takes about 6 seconds to peruse someone's ad.Dealers pay $100/yr for their dealer accounts. So I pay for this account AND @Dean Safety . I choose to not post my WTS in the regular forums but just use the Dealer Classifieds, but the rules permit me to post where I want to.
Dealers cannot bump more often than anyone else. We have the same requirement to wait enough hours before we can post a bump.
On the old NES forum you could not block dealers. Now you can block dealers (individually) so you do not have to see their postings if you do not want to.
@Broccoli Iglesias As you damn well know I do not sell 40S&W and I do not sell Shields (or Taurus or highpoint or rock island or...)
So no problem then. Just don't click on the ads...And I don't look at any of them.
You complete me.
Damn good question. But the truth is, I have never had and Asian show up to deliver a pizza.Is that a Chinese girl who delivers food of arbitrary cuisine,
or a girl of unspecified nationality who delivers Chinese food?
Life moves fast on NES.
Get pizza delivered right onto your plate:... the truth is, I have never had and Asian show up to deliver a pizza.
I just added a dealer to my ignore list when they bumped 6 and posted a 7th all rapidly enough to show up nearly consecutively in the regular WTS forums. Easy fixI have to say That I don't run into alot of your ads. As you say and I agree, it's a handfull, usually without store fronts, that are the the real pains.

I don't believe Rob was disputing what you're saying. Pretty sure he is supporting your position.Which is anywhere in the classified
I wonder if there was a way to block any add that features a .40 automatically so you never see them?So confused I thought 40 shields were the only ones you'd sell

Oooohhhhh. Greg is going to the pokey. Straw purchase. Bad, bad, ....My buddy has been looking for a certain handgun. If TPNES wasn't posting in the section he did, I never would have seen it.
Thanks to dealers posting in the "wrong" forum, I was able to see the gun, IM TPNES and reserve it.
See, it works for everybody!
See ya Saturday
A more valid complaint would be dealers without dealer accounts selling here.
