Welcome to the ODT! Bring the correct amount of money. Don’t expect the seller to have change.

Welcome to ODT!
By the way, are you old enough to buy and sale guns? (Asking for a friend...)

Welcome
Keep your word. No bidding. When finalizing a deal, do it by PM (Private Message) so there is a record of the deal in case it goes south and you need to neg someone.
You will do fine.

I have a couple weapons up for sale and people have immediately tried to communicate only through SMS text messaging. Is it normal to try to reply back to them and have all the communication in the PM? Or does that aggravate people?

either way you go about it. get that **** confirmed in PMs before you consider it good to go.

When you say, “I’ll take it,” it is best to take it.

std rule of thumb is PMs til a deal is made then exchange #s for day of meet comms. ive gone the other way as well...text/phone first, then tell dude..."I am going to send you a PM with these details, please confirm in PM so we are ODT legal." CYA, then negs stick, and we all know who the asshats are.

when posting any picture, you get extra points if you include your toes... People here get tickled by that.
