This is a practice that has irked me for a while, and reared its ugly head again tonight. A guy on a local forum posted a WTT (want to trade) ad, offer up a gun I've been looking for, looking for something specific in return. I PMed him and asked what his cash price for the gun was - he replied that he didn't have a cash price, and would only trade the gun for what he's looking for (which I might add is a fairly common gun, available on the shelf of any local gun shop).
***? Why do people do that? I'm willing to give him more than enough cash for his gun to go buy exactly what he wants, but he's going to turn down a guaranteed sale and hold out hope that someone within driving distance who reads this local forum is going to have the gun he wants AND want his gun in return. It makes no sense to me.
Can someone shed light on this practice for me? Is there a part of the equation that I'm missing here?
