That this doesn't have to happen:

I know being in a single income earner family how things work.

I also understand things can get put on the EE and another GA member can remark about what a good deal they are.

Obviously, it isn't as fast as a pawn shop, but would likely get the seller a much higher premium than to deal with his/her sales with a pawn shop, and net the buyer a better deal too.

Like someone else said on the other thread, just post "these have to go with cash in hand by 'XX/XX/XX'.

Maybe I'm dreaming, but for a seller with some time pawn shops and gun stores are the worst place to get a good price on your used guns for a trade or cash.

I agree.  That's pretty sick there.  I'd hope that we could do better for our own.

Indeed.  I believe some have stretched this rule in our team forum in the past.

It's a shame.

Sounds like poor planning
