FS Port Contract k-98 (CGN Private Ad)

[Badger]

Now, here's the type of ad that really irritates me.

It's a premium priced item with no pics, or even an offer to provide pics suggested in the body of the ad, yet the seller says Not interested in tire-kickers, or trades. Serious buyers only.

Not to just pick on this seller, but in general, some of the folks that post ads on CGN (and many other forums) need to take a course in salesmanship, or find a ghost writer to help them with their efforts. It ceases to amaze me how so many people can post so many bad ads and then wonder why they don't get a serious response, or get people who enquire, but they never respond back. Courtesy is a reciprocating behavior.

This might be a very good buy, but who will ever know and I for one, even though I'm interested, wouldn't bother to enquire about pics as I'd be worried about getting my head taken off for appearing like a "tire kicker".

If you can't view the advertisement, it's probably due to the fact that you have to subscribe to the EE (Equipment Exchange) forums on CGN, or the ad has been deleted, in order to view them.

BTW, if anyone buys this piece (or gets pics), here's the entry with a 182 picture photo gallery in the Milsurp Knowledge Library, as to what it should look like.
