There is also another saying, Discretion is the better part of Valor.

I just think YOU would be better served in your effort to sell your wares by spending some time on the boards letting others know what you're all about. And asking someone to consider sending $1000on something that there is noreal evidence of it's existence won't get much response. So, I asked you to post pics.
Sorry if you are offended, but I was truly trying to help without getting real obvious.
I am a very trusting soul, but dealing on these boards, without the backing of Ebay or other auction sites is based solely on trust. You post a $1000 gun on here with no pictures or offer to send pictures (even after I asked) and no history on the board. If you look around you will see that there are posts that deal with those trying to rip off others.


That said, I hope I have helped and I hope you realize your response didn't do much good.

The best lesson in life is that learned the hard way. When you can learn from mistakes they are really worth making, when you can learn from others mistakes, well so much the better. I made this same mistake on another board, and was "helped" in a much harsher manner. But I learned and I hope you can as well.

Good Luck moving your guns. And Welcome to the boards. Come on in, Pour a cup o' coffee, sit a spell, tell us a hunting story.
