Nick- you are a funny old thing!
I read one of your posts a while back saying other people were asking far too much for their stuff and that you knew the "correct" market price.
I then read one of your post's saying you could'nt understand why people were'nt willing to pay a "fair" price for your stuff!
Then I read someone won't send you a rifle "on approval"
I think you have to appreciate that not everyone on here is as trusting as you & every deal done on trust is a risk & its up to you to decide whether or not to punt. Can you imagine your man with the rifle for sale going to the police & saying " I sent it in good faith but I never heard from him again!"
I know that would never happen but does he? Can't blame him can you?
