if seller is a service man?
Recently I came across this thread in other forum that one member was offered a used Para PX745E(unknown round has been shot through it) for $650 from serviceman who is heading off to iraq shortly. This serviceman claimed that he paid over $800 BN. He was asking if he should buy it for that price.
Now I have Para PX745S(Same gun as for sale gun, except its Stainless, where as gun in question is blued) that i have bought recently BN $725, and saw PX745E was stickered at $675
So i suggeseted that I would offer $550, then settle at $600, which I thought it would be more then fair offer.
Well, they (the site administrater) banned me today until 5/7 saying "How about you don't try to lowball a service member?"
And admin left thread to original poster "give him the money and get a good deal on the gun"
Now I have nothing but at most respect for our boys and girls overthere who are fighting for not just our freedom, but everybody's freedom.
But i honestly see nothing wrong for offer a counter offer for original offer which is to me is somewhat higher then a fair. Serviceman or not.
I didn't think what i suggested was "lowball"ing. I mean its not like I suggested him to offer can of sardine for it or anyting like that. And at $600 would have been an excellent price for the gun, for both seller and perspectivve buyer in my opinion
Am I wrong to suggest to offer a counter offer just because seller is a serviceman?
