I'm cleaning out part of my basement. I listed it on ebay.
It was up to about $100, and they pulled the plug.
The reason: I called it a Texan.
Well, did a little looking, and it turns out that it, in fact, is a Texan Model 101 T-11. And it's actually a rare one.
ARGH.
I hate idiots. Or I hate the SOB who looked at it, decided that it wasn't either a single-stage or a shotshell press, and sent some sort of rambling irate note to the ebay folks....

What's wrong with calling a Texan brand press a Texan?
Next thing you know, they'll get huffy about Lyman Alaskan scopes...

If you tried to sell some brass to go with the press, they'd yank the listing.

If I didn't already have a C-H linear 4-stage, I'd bid on it.

I was doing ok selling little figurines to (presumably) middle-aged and older women around the country, until I ran out and started liquidating DVDs ('got Netflix, do I really need all of these...?'). Women, never a problem, paid immediately. DVD buyers - slow paying, iffy feedback on their end, just waiting for the first whiner.

List stuff on GunBroker instead.

Why would someone support those Commies?
I can't sell vacuum tube amplifiers on GunBroker. Nor can Bogie sell his non-gun stuff, so he'd have to set up at least two separate accounts on online auction sites that support what he's selling. That means a GunBroker account with fees, an eBay account with fees, maybe a UBid account with fees, and perhaps an AuctionArms account with fees.
I sold a lot of gun stuff on eBay, but even more non-gun stuff. I don't like eBay's knee-jerk reaction to the Virginia Tech shootings, but I have a lot of non-gun stuff I still plan on selling - ostensibly on a non-gun auction site. Craigslist is ok, but some really weird people crawl out of the woodwork there.

Or they buy it, and then try to change the price. Sorry, but I don't need any beads.

Yeah, the craigslist folks want stuff for free. And for you to deliver it to them.

A big no-sh*t there... I quit selling stuff via craigslist because of it.

Is it possible that Oleg would consider allowing folks to post for sale items here?? My local gun board, http://www.mnguntalk.com/index.php , has a section for non-gun related items. There is also a section for gun related items.
Not a bad idea....
But then again your target is small.

Simple as putting what you want to sell in your signature, or maybe Oleg wouldn't mind a thread or two about it every so often.
Who knows.

Is it that big of a problem? I've purchased a bike via craigslist, and tried to sell an old appliance (nobody responded), so I don't have a lot of experience with it. A lot of folks in the local mtb group buy/sell bikes and bike stuff through CL frequently without complaint. Just curious...
