I was looking for some .375 125 grain ammunition and I posted in the WTB Firearms accessories Classified Section. I received this reply.
(Note, WF is obviously me but the sellers name has been changed to protect his identity. I chose to use "AH" for obvious reasons):
-AH: I have some 357 mag ammo if you are interested and If the price is right. It’s mostly collectible ammo but it’s all complete and ammo has been stored properly it all looks like new in the boxes. 3 50 round boxes of the legendary Nyclad load in 357 magnum, and a box of Remington 125 grain RM357M1.
-WF: What do you want for the Remington 125 grain RM357M1? I assume it is 20 rounds as the 100 seems to be "B"... Thank you. Larry
-AH: It’s a 50 round box. Send an offer, worst I can say is yes or no.
-WF: 45 minute drive... $50.00
-AH: That’s a sucky drive. I can’t do 50 unfortunately. Thank you though!
-WF:
Me: what do you want for dinner?
Wife: I don't care ...
Me: lets get pizza.
Wife: I don't want pizza...
-AH: Ok....?
-WF:
How much do you want for the 125 Remington? Prefer cash but, since we seem to be in the I have rare golden bullets land, how about an even trade for rare silver bullets? Edit to correct ever to even.
-AH: Unfortunately I don’t have anything in 5.56 currently. Would you be coming to me? If so I have more 357 mag I could sell you unless you just want that Remington box of 50. I’m not trying to be difficult so I apologize if I’m coming across that way to you.
-AH: I also have a shitload of regular non collector grade 38 special range ammo too unless you just want 357 mag.
-AH: If you want to come to me and you just want that 1 box it’s yours. If you want some regular old 38 range ammo too I can make you a package deal.
I have really tried to be polite up to this point to get a price but nope, he can't do it so I tap out.
-WF: I am tired of playing... I hope you can eventually sell your ammo to someone else (if you can ever put a price on it). I'm done. Thank you. Larry
Then I get this:
-AH: Ok great, thanks for wasting my time. Enjoy your ammoless stash of 357 mag. I’ll gladly keep mine.
Chemo brain kicks in. I don't deserve this BS about wasting his time so I attempt to convey my offense to this statement. I even wish him a nice life...
-WF: " I’ll gladly keep mine. " That was obvious from about the second post in this thread. I can't buy it if you won't price it. I just had my 15th chemo. I am not going to die tomorrow but it is you who has been wasting my time. Thanks for nothing. Have a nice life a**h***.
-AH: No need for name calling. You had an attitude from the get go. Now this comment will be reported to the admins for that.
I am an old Ba$tid but, it has been my experience that if someone is selling something and they ask what you will pay, you will probably make a somewhat lower offer and then the seller comes back with a higher price and you dicker or accept and the deal is done or you can't agree and walk away. I want to know who is wasting whose time, who has an attitude, and who is the AH?
Fireproof suit is on so if I am wrong.
PS: There AH, I just made it easier for you to report this comment.
