No more “commit to buy”

[dannyp]

What has this new platform done to the old Eruby??? I expected to see a cordial invite to all naysayers to off themselves. Are you feeling OK? Can I get you a glass of water? Or maybe a chair so you can sit down and rest until you are back to your normal self again?

LOL,LOL, LOL.

Can there be an option to NOT have a commit to buy?

That's called gunbroker/ebay.

Folks,

We are working on it.

As has been explained many times, the previous classifieds system was a third party plug in that has been unsupported for many, many years.

It does not carry over to new platform.

We have a developer who is actually working on writing the programming to try to add this back in.

I think that answers the question..

Some clown is selling eggs in the classified section. (50 CPE) I would have bought, but the commit to buy button is gone.

Well I guess I am an outlier here. What else is new. I personally do not like the commit to buy button. I have been buying and selling on different gun boards for 20+ years and my experience with the commit to buy button has been negative. On more than on occasion a buyer has hit the commit to buy button on something I had for sale here and then backed out. Sometimes after waiting weeks for them to send payment. To me the seller loses a lot of ability to communicate with the buyer and decide if they are reliable.

And no I did not post negative feedback. Not worth my time and effort to argue with an A-Hole who backs out of their commitment. I value my 100% positive feedback scores on multiple gun boards too much to let it get dragged down by some screw up. I just move on and repost. I did notice one of them got banned from here a year later.

I have had positive results from commit to buy. It gives me and the buyer/seller a locked in purchase. I have had buyers change their mind and we work it out.

I only had one bad experience with CTB. That’s running about 1%.

I prefer it. I find it helpful.
