When people first put ads up on here they often forget to add something, and then add it later. Its pretty frustrating when that thing is a bargain!
No doubt something else will be along shortly!

member MING recently put this up for sale FX Verminator - Mamba 3-12x44
as you can see on the thread i said i would purchase it and contacted the guy with some questions,to which he replied,so i asked how he would like payment,and needed an address to get a courier to collect.
i never got a reply to that pm..............to my dissmay tonight i notice the thread had moved to the sales graveyard,with the member posting the gun had been sold,and that he wanted a face to face!!!
i didnt even receive a pm with an explanation,or a sorry,nothing at all!!! and he didnt mention a face to face in the pm's we exchanged!!!
i personally think someone else who showed interest offered him more money with collection............but i will never know!!!
just be wary of MING guys!!!![]()

There's nothing quite like a nice cup of tea
totally out of order mr ming, forum rules say first to say yes on sales thread gets it and as there was no mention of face to face deal on sales thread the gun should be yours. back door deals out of order![]()
gunpower stealth-22, gunpower stealth-25,
i understand they may miss things,but there was no mention of a ftf in the original post,and when i said i would arrange a courier to collect he said fine!
to not even send a pm to me with any kind of explanation was bang out of order!
your welcome to check my pm's to see this.......maybe check his to to see if he was approached with a better offer!

no problem,
i appreciate you looking into it for me![]()
Feel for you Gun freak, thinking you were going to get a great gun & scope at a good price & then to be sh1t on like that. I, like you suspect he had a better offer![]()
.177 HW77K,.20 BSA Hornet,.177 R-10,.177 FX Cyclone,.177 TR Ultra special
i was correct!
just been confirmed that it was sold to someone else behind my back!
MING your a top bloke!![]()
Could there not be a 'buy it now' button in a special type of PM you could send once all the details/negotiations have taken place? Once this had been clicked, you were both contracted to complete the deal!? Would stop some 'gazumping' i would think. Just an idea folks. I know it wouldnt be 100% fool proof but it could be worth a trial?

This has now been resolved.
