Thanks for your opinion Victor, but I'm not sure you got my point. I certainly have no problem with members offering "exclusive opportunities"; in fact I have bought and sold a number of items on this site. My issue is that it's not a fair playing field if we don't all have equal access to the opportunity, and I don't think we do when the point of sale is limited to locations where some of us would have to drive a thousand miles or more to get to. But as Dennis Miller used to say back when he used to be funny, "That's just my opinion; I could be wrong."

"Will not ship" is a very common phrase among sellers, regardless of whether they suggest meeting at a particular venue or not.

Another scenario is items that would be cumbersome to ship. Like Ammo. Or larger items. I have advertised various items like this for sale as for pickup only at shoots. Like gun racks, or even a stock duplication machine.
Or there are other things that someone may pay a fair price for, but not the amount to ship it. Like reloading components, hulls, wads, etc... An in person deal keeps expenses down and the deal personal.

I assume most sellers will work with people who can’t attend and need to ship.

Mills is right. All restrictions are not always mentioned in the ad. All restrictions are not engraved in stone. Exceptions will be made among friends and serious buyers. Thanks, Mills.

Some sellers get weary of tire kicking or having guns sent back (for any reason) which leaves a high chance of the gun being damaged. I have no problem with sellers only allowing for a sale at an event or certain venue. It is within their rights and does not violate any PGCA guidelines. I get bent when I see a nice double for sale and I missed the sale by MINUTES!!!!!! As the saying goes, "A day late and a dollar short."

The owner of a gun or anything else has the right to sell it whenever/wherever/however he/she chooses. If that means I don't get access to their stuff, that's just the way it is.
