I asked for a valuation. Nothing more.

My intention was to advertise it later with photos on the correct forum.

Someone who has bought from me before has expressed an interest.

What was I supposed to do?

I am not desperate for a buyer. The gun will sell itself.

I take your point however, and will not ask for any more valuations of things I may intend to sell.

Sorry if I have broken the rules. I did it out of ignorance, not intention.
