With all the newbies with have on the Hide, I thought it might be useful to put together a list of common jargon/language used in the PX and their literal translations. This is just a partial list of what I have observed as a keen user of the PX for many years (as a seller and buyer). Please feel free to add to the list.
"Like New/Mint Condition" = Used. May have scratches, dings, dents, etc.
"New/Brand New" = I may have fired or mounted it, then changed my mind and put it back in the box.
"FIRM Price" = Check back tomorrow for a cheaper price.
"Final Price Drop" = Check back in a few days for another price drop.
"Safe Queen" = If you consider the plastic case the gun comes with a "safe". I don't even own a safe.
"No Low Ball Offers" = Any offer less than my full asking price.
"Send your trade offers. Worst I can say is no" = I will say no to every offer, unless you can guess the one item I want.
"It's A One Hole Gun" = I only shoot one round groups.
"As long as I do my part" = True, if gun is being sold by Jerry Miculek.
"Used, but not abused" = Looks like it's been dragged behind your truck on a gravel road.
"I don't have time to shoot anymore" = I have no more time to mess with this piece of shit.
"I don't shoot it as much as I thought I would" = It's a frustrating, inaccurate, unreliable piece of junk.
"My loss, your gain" = I'm selling it for exactly what I paid.
"All day long" = As long as it's not a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.
"Unknown round count" = I lost count after 5000.
"Low round count" = Anywhere from 1 to 1000.
"Rare/Hard to find" = They only made 100,000 of them.
"Going in a different direction" = wife found credit card bill and said it was her or the new gun.
