PSA: How To Get Noticed as a PX Dealer

Honestly

They all still vehemently deny being dealers, I have not had one banned persons who "appears" to have a dealer account admit to being a dealer.

A few of them, very few have admitted to being an FFL and having dealer programs with companies, (LOL) but none of them admit to being actual dealers

That is the thing,

With most of these guys we are flagging, they have 100s or posts just in the PX. Some are excessive bumping, which we want to eliminate as it clutters up the place, but the fact is, these guys are continually selling multiple variations of the same product, new in the box, etc.

It's amazing you have some valued vendors who know they are using the site for business and will volunteer to pay the small fee associated to it. And you have all the others abusing the PX and acting like it's no big deal. They treat the place like a free gunbroker account
 
Yeah, not the sharpest knife in the drawer.


With much better demographics.


That is how you know they almost exclusively hang out in the PX. If they browse the Pit they would have noticed the multiple threads we had here talking all about them and realize that activity in the PX is being monitored.
 
These guys are, plain and simple, stealing from Frank's livelihood.

We should not only be banning them... but having some fun shaming them on a broader scale. Sort of having a fun 'pile-on' like we do with some of the more... interesting twerp-wads who show up here.

Ban, sure. But toying with them... that would really be fun!

Cheers,

Sirhr

Precisely! And that's why I had no real reservations about posting this here. It's like the sweetest inside joke in plain sight ever.

When I was a store manager, I used to do this kind of thing all the time, especially before a staff meeting. Many people just did not want to restock the walk-in beverage coolers so I would leave a Double Gulp cup half filled with water right smack in the middle of the main entry walkway. The walkway is narrow enough that anyone passing through or moving the boxes stacked along the walls would have to move the cup one way or another. On a lot of occasions that cup would STILL be there after 2 shifts, in the same exact position that I left it. :ROFLMAO:

I've been a long time lurker and only recently created an account to BUY STUFF.
I absolutely get pissed when I see a guy blowing up his thread with bumps sometimes while the ad is still on the first page towards the bottom.
Here are a few pictures I got from someone asking if I was interested in "A One Of A Kind" gun while inquiring about something else.
They even left the watermark on them.
Both pictures are from the same guy who is now banned.
The way I look at it is all it takes is a few to ruin it for the others.
So while I'm in your house I'll respect the rules,the same as I'd expect if you came to my house.

It blows my mind that as much as they are selling, that they wont kick something back to LL for providing the customer base.

It reminds me of a fat 2nd grader with chocolate all over his face saying: no mommy, I didnt eat it, it wasn't me!!

Unbelievable. They are obviously making sales or they wouldnt be posting and bumping so much. They seriously have to try to skimp in this way? Pretty shitty.
 
If you guys want to call these folks out a bit befor the bancat ( I love bancat...) pounces... I know an exclusive group of pipehitting SH NCO types who would like nothing better than to smoke these folks for a while before you deport them...

Bancat does like to play with his kills, you know...

I met some US Army Drill Instructors one time, who said they were going to "Crush my Nuts". At the time I believed they could, and would do so. If Frank needs to crush some, who am I to protest? Crush some nuts Frank! It's fun!

I do a version of that with the laundry the kids leave in the dryer.
It goes in a basket and blocks their door.

It wasn't working.

Now, I dump the basket on top of their bed. It's better, but not 100% effective.

Soak the dried laundry and dump it on their heads unceremoniously at 0300. You should see an uptick in efficiency.

You and I are on the same page.
However, they aren't my biological children and Rebecca wouldn't support it.

I've done things like that to my girls and they are pretty good at taking care of their shit.

I've even gone as far as putting the trash on their clean pillow.
They take the trash out when I ask them, and they don't even live with me.
The other three are getting better though
 
Look guys,

It comes down to a simple matter of honor and integrity.

The PX is a local swap meet of sorts, where friends and neighbors buy, sell, and trade with each other.
The friends and neighbors are the people who are here for other primary reasons. To interact, share, learn, and trade some lies over a drink.

If you've obtained an FFL and have a little bit of working capital, and you are buying wholesale or bulk for better than retail street pricing, and then coming here to flip those items for a profit, you're still very welcomed here - BUT you need to be honest about it and not game the system.

Pay your relatively small dues and be a commercial account.
Never leave the PX. Bump all of your listings every morning over coffee or on your lunch break. It's fine. We see the banner and keep on rolling.

You know what you're here for and we do to.
You get the commercial banner under your name and everybody knows who's in the game.
You are now playing on the major league field with your peers, and not lying about being a pro sneaking around in the amateur leagues.

The banner gives your buyers a small added layer of confidence because they know you've acted honorably, but you also have invested in the site that is hosting your storefront. You're a pro and you're playing like one.

I live in Virginia.
In my state an individual can sell up to 4 cars a year without having to obtain a dealer's license.
The law is there to allow friends and neighbors to sell to each other without having the added burden of becoming a fully vetted and regulated dealer.

Some of our more egregious PX abusers are flipping 10-20 big ticket items a month, and pretending to be "just a guy".

It's pretty clear who's acting honorably and who isn't. We're focusing on who isn't.

see....this is why my ass wouldnt have done well in the army......because my first reaction to hearing that would have been " yeah youd break your fist trying"

.....and some thing tells me that wouldnt go over well......

The Asian Ban Cat is my favorite,

I think Jim has taken one too many trips to China, but in a good way, he needs a break and I volunteer to fill in


I see we were down for a bit @Lowlight. We must be getting closer to my jumping over the toilet avatar maybe working........... Hmmmmm?

Little unannounced maintenance shutdown. I see some of the changes.
