Too far to drive...

[Fordtough25]

Anybody else bummed because the goods you want on here are usually on the other end of the state? Such is life I guess, but man it sucks watching great deals on useful to me stuff wither away!

 

[ghitch75]

yep run it to that all the time......what gets me more than anything is when they won't meet half way......but more than not do.....

 

[yotewacker]

Depending on the deal. But drove over a thousand miles to get stuff.

Absolutely hate it. See something you want then see where they are located. Hell, even you are to far away.

You guys realize you can ship firearms through the mail straight to people door right? Its the same as a face to face deal...

(handguns cannot be shipped USPS by a nonFFL holder)

What? Nevermind. You can ship rifles, correct?

And we typically like to handle guns before purchasing too.

What are you talking about? You ARE on the other end of the state!

This is why I love living in indy

 

[Bane_FTW]

I'm usually traveling from northern to southern Indiana because of wife's family, so it won't be too bad for me.

You can ship rifles USPS. You can ship handguns UPS and FedEx

Good replies already, and true! Yep, I am all the way down at the bottom. I miss out on ammo deals a lot, it costs way to much to ship big quantities for a ingo member to ingo member deal. I've missed some real nice firearms as well, and yes the not meeting halfway thing sucks. I have met a lot of good people on here and most are willing to meet up reasonably. But, my opinion remains, and halfway for a lot of the stuff I want it a looooong drive.

are you sure????.....i thought ANY shipped firearm( not muzzleloaders) had to go threw a FFL even in state.....you have a link to the law?

When I sell something, I'm always willing to try to meet halfway....

Yep, if we met half way it would still be an hour one way. Would have to be one hell of a deal to make it worth it.

I don't mind driving a ways to get stuff (or to sell) and I've done it once or twice, but it's not as good of a deal if both parties have to spend $50 in gas to make the transaction.

Hour isn't too bad, I've been to Greenwood several times, even drove to Evansville once. For me the too far point is up north, no offense to those of you up there!

as long as it isn't snowing right?



Depends on how bad I want whatever it is, and how good the deal is. That determines how far I am willing to travel.

It's amazing, I tell my wife, we're in the crossroads of America, and we never get to see any of the good stuff passing through. Food selection, various distributorships, just don't get the variety you see in other cities. Don't get me started on guns, and hunting accessories, and all kinds of outdoor equipment. Gander Mountain and Dicks do not cut it!!

 

[snorko]

An hour or two is nothing if it is something I want (buying) or an expensive enough item (selling). The trick is to combine deals and make it worth while. My personal best is six deals in one day, three purchases and three sales.

Craziest ever was a Circle Indiana trip I did. Drove from Evansville to Sellersburg, 2 hours east, and sold an AR pistol, then turned north to Indy, 1 1/2 hours north, and traded a rifle for a pistol, then proceeded north to Kokomo, 1 hour in the snow, to buy a rifle, then back to Evansville, stopping in Cloverdale to sell a pistol.

Crazy day

Unfortunately the price of gas prevents a lot of people from driving, but I look at it a little differently. There are a lot of places in Indiana that my wife and I have not seen before, we look at driving as an adventure, we will usually stop a a nice restaurant for dinner, sometimes my wife finds a place where she will "have" to go shopping. It doesn't have to be about the trade, it's about getting out of the house, going somewhere you've never been before, seeing something that you never saw before, meeting people and maybe getting a nice gun out of the deal.
