Send ENGLISH MIKE a private message or Send TwoBit a private message


They can answer your question

I'd say if he's BUYING then your good. He's gotta send you money first, right?

Unconfirmed means he hasn't yet been identified as human but in this case it looks likely he is. :wink_smal
As with all transactions: Caveat emptor.......


....or t' other way round. :small_gri

Is it true you have to post a certain number of times to be able to post in the marketplace forum or something? How do you prove your human?

The guy wanted to buy three parts kits. But didn't post an I'll take it. And said that he couldn't post. He then emailed me a few days later. After not responding to my private message. Two of the kits had been sold. As I wasn't going to hold onto them for someone that had not posted an I'll take it. Or returned a private message.

Weird.

Anyone can post in Marketplace as soon as their membership is confirmed.

It's more a case of it being pretty obvious which member applications AREN'T from humans. :wink_smal

Good to know! It seemed pretty fishy that he didn't post an I'll take it. Or even any post in the thread. Like he just didn't know that he had to say I'll take it.

It's strange to me that it could be not human as he specifically asked for certain kit numbers. In the private messages and via email. It didn't read like a form response or anything.

Anyway. Let's let this die. I feel like I'm beating a dead horse. Thanks for your replies Mike.

This reminds me of a very old Confusius saying that goes something like: It is better to beat a dead horse than it is being caught doing what Rodell Vereen did. :laugh_sma

Ok. What did Rodell Vereen do to a horse? Do tell. LOL!

Man! I just got another offer from another unconfirmed user. grwellman is the name.

Should I insist on USPO MO? Rather than PP?

What do they have to do to confirm that they are a valid user/member? Is it that hard?

It looks like grwellman is legit, buys on gunbroker and is a member of a few forums.

As for ol' Rodell "Stump Broke" Vereen, you can read about him here in the News and Current Events forum. Look for a post titled "SC man......." by CPO Ted.
