I saw a gun on Armslist this morning for a very fair price and I sent the seller a message saying I would take it. I gave my phone number and asked him to text or call me. Not too much later, he calls me. We talked a bit and agreed on a place to meet, we both got off work at 5PM.

We met after work and introduced ourselves and he told me that he had gotten a lot of interest in his ad. He told people that a deal was pending. Some people offered him $50 above his asking price to sell it to them. He told them that he had promised to meet after work and if the deal fell through he would let them know.

So, this stranger was a man of his word. I find that pretty awesome. Many people would have taken the money and run with it. I gave this fellow a card and an invitation to join us here on the forum. I hope he joins up, he'll be a good one to have as a member.
 
That's the kind of people we like around here.
If you see him join, I'll pay his first years dues.

Ron, that is a great gesture.
 
Good on him, very cool!
 
Give @ronn47 a chance before volunteering. Mmkay?
Yeah, ronn could go all Oprah on us... And you get new dues, and you get new dues, and you get new dues, everyone gets new dues paid! :D

I hope that guy joins. Sounds like our kind of people. We'll, some of us anyway. :D

It's a sad state of affairs that we've come to expect anything less. Personally, I do not. And here on this forum, I myself have not had anything even close to a problem.

Since there are no photos of this gun, we’re forced to conclude you made up this story. :p
