"This item is in Tucson and I don't ever go to Phoenix.

No trades at this time. Meaning, no trades at this time. Also meaning, I'm not interested in parts or rifles or shotguns or any other trade. This seems to be a confusing thing to some people, so also, no trades at this time. But, but, you have this really cool part and all I'd need to do is take it to a gun shop or buy an upper... No. Again, not looking for trades.

Not looking for trades.

Item is still in Tucson and I still do not go to Phoenix. " :lol:

Whenever you post on there you get a flurry of messages from people in the Phoenix area asking to buy. When you remind them you're not in Phoenix they immediately ask when the next time you'll be in Phoenix or if you can meet halfway.

This happens even when your in a distant part of the state and the item you're selling isn't of great value.

Oh, I know what you mean. It's not just there, either.

Don't post anything for free.
People will ask if you deliver.

Hey , let's not forget the guys that post a WTB request, never mention where they are and don't want to leave their own neighborhood to pick it up.

My favorite is "if the ad is up, it's available"

Then you call and find out it already sold.

Quite honestly, I’m certain this guy will still get trade offers and be asked to deliver it to Phoenix.

I only recently started using GA and have been really annoyed by some “buyers.” You say you’re not wanting any trades and folks message you over and over trying to trade you worthless junk. Then they get pissy when you decline their trade offer. Same with Phoenix trips. I’ve gone to PHX if I can get something else done during that trip but a four hour round trip isn’t much fun when your “buyer” turns out to be a flake.
