Yard sale buy of the YEAR!!!!

[Mike Franzen]

I want to see pics of the Yard Sale Parker!!

There's nothing wrong with making a great buy, and I'm happy for Alan.

I find there to be a difference in buying a $20K gun for $500 from a 45 year old 'man' who's ascared of guns and too lazy to use the internet to do some due diligence, and the old "I screwed some 88 year old widow out her husband's Parker 'cuz she was too blind to read a book and hadn't even heard of the internet." That's just me, though.

Pictures... we need pictures!!

There really should be a rule that no one is allowed to make any post like this without photos.

I have left this post alone because of several messages that I recieved that at the least not very nice. I have not posted pictures because it will just bring more messages.Maybe pictures can be sent to a trusted member and you can share them with each other. I am done with this post and it can be locked

What a shame one of OUR members gets flack like this for makeing a buy that from the sounds of things anyone of us would have jumped at. The negativity he's received prevents him from sharing such a wonderfull find with the rest of the membership At this moment I'm ashamed to be a PGCA member

Fine, don't post the photos. At this point it's almost anticlimactic.
How about posting the messages?

I am certain that Alan would not post a PM from another member.

If needed he could provide them to the PGCA BOD. One could also seek advice from another member by forwarding an insulting PM.

From the forum rules:

Never copy a PM or private e-mail and post in public - especially if it concerns a feud with another member, business, or entity. I am NOT “Judge Judy”, nor will I take any action on your behalf in your grievance. As well, if/when you do post a private communication in a public forum, you open yourself up to a legal suit. Whether they or you might prevail – we could also care less. What we do care about is protecting this community and the members who are not interested in your complaint.

Pardon me Mark but I never suggested that Alan "name names".
What could have been a vicarious thrill for most of us has IMHO turned into
"I'm taking my new "garage sale ball" and going home".

Alan, best of luck to you and your new Parker.

Alan, there's no room in this Forum whether it be in form of pm's or out in the open for any forum member to be mistreated in any way. My suggestion to you is that if you feel you have received innappropriate messages whether in the public or private forum, you should forward them to the President of the PGCA and let the Leadership of the PGCA review them, make a determination and take appropriate action.
