The OP originally had a mixture of 22LR ammo...various brands (Federal, CCI, Remington, etc). 4050 rounds total. He originally wanted $800 for the lot, or about $.197/round. The cheapest 22lr on ammoseek right now is $.197/round...then you pay shipping on top of that (and one retailer is charging a $5 handling charge in addition). The OP questioned in his original post if he was too high or not.

At the first sign of blowback regarding his price (which has been frowned on in the past), the OP immediately lowered his price on the lot to $400, or about $.099/round. A pretty decent deal at current prices. Let's not forget, and this is important...ammo is "previously purchased", not "used". No one's "gotten the good out of it" already.

Capitalism was working, but, the conversation became a shitshow regarding him requesting the buyer paying the 3%, which the OP was clear about in his original post, so the OP pulled his ad completely.

So, instead of someone getting 4050 rounds of 22lr for $412 (or possibly lower depending on negotiations), no one got a decent deal, and the site missed out on some money too.

I don't know the OP, and I don't run this site. However, it seems to me he was playing by the rules, but maybe his crime was being only a seller on the site...which isn't part of the official "rules" of the classifieds at this time.

Yep. No one is getting ripped off and no one is forcing anyone to buy anything. When you own something you can price it however you please. Anyone that doesn't agree, and that has some bitcoin they purchased 2 years ago or more, I'll buy it at what you paid for it. If you won't sell it for that then you're trying to rip people off according to some on this site. With that line of thinking you're essentially saying because you didn't prepare and buy when prices were down , that those that did, owe it to you to sell it at a price YOU think is fair. If you don't like the price move on. If that's not an option for you then I'll be happy to come to your house and price your stuff for you and rid you of it.
