Bidding Frenzy

[Stan Hillis]

It's par for the course. This is not the old time way of gun shopping. We are all exposed to more guns for sale in a day than we used to be in a year, because of the internet. And, that's a good thing. But you can't have all the good without some of the inconveniences.

Evidently, the way the forum rules are written as of now it's anyone's right to announce to the forum a gun is for sale, and I have no problem with that as long as it's done with good intentions. If someone doesn't like that, they should get elected and work to change the rules. Sometimes we get the idea we should "have it our way", but this ain't Burger King. Anyone willing to go back to the old days of getting the opportunity to scope out one or two really nice guns a year, at the most? I'm not. If I get outbid on a gun because more of my fellow gun enthusiasts knew about it and bid, so what? There's more fish in the sea. This isn't life or death stuff.
