I have been looking to buy a Colt pistol to give to my son for his next birthday. I have been
looking on Gunbroker and other sites. I want a Colt. My son is named Colton and I want to give him a Colt. I search for Colt and get all kinds of crap coming through the search with not colt in the ad title. I have seen these tactics on various classified and auction sites. It really pisses me off. Why do the sites allow this misrepresentation? Does this piss anyone else off or am I being petty? |

An example of what I am talking about.
Searched Colt .45 and get this http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=139512511 |

Try this
Its almost all Colts with maybe 4 or 5 Kimbers or Dan Wessons thrown in. |
|
Try this search string
In >Pistols >Semi-auto colt -Not If you keep getting crap, say like Sig in your example just add a space and -sig colt -not -sig Hope this helps. ETA: Save this search in your auctions and you g2g. ETA2: This gets you down to 7 pages. colt 1911 -not -walther -argentine -standard -reproduction -wesson |

Quoted:
I am glad I am not the only one that it annoys the hell out of. I refuse to buy from anyone who does it. Me too. What really made me mad was when I was looking for Varget a few months ago. Some asshole sellers listed a whole string of powder names in their title and had a pic of a whole shelf lined with powder jars. You had to click on it to see what was actually for sale. On dial-up that amounts to a HUGE waste of time!
