Pfft, that's nothing.

When I was 15 I had an E-Mag, Vision Impulse, two 'Cockers and a 'Mag.

I was buying and selling them to make cash

[sniper1rfa]

i have five guns, and im only 16 (as of last month)...

im getting a FLY LCD the 26th.


i think you should get a phone number or something, or at lease talk to the parents. I know a few people who would completely shaft anybody they could. i almost set up a trade for a friend of mine until I took a look at the impulse. it was in terrible shape. He said it didnt matter, cause the other person wouldnt know until it was too late. *POOF* that, i have MY reputation to keeep. He almost shafted ME as well.

Which people? I don't believe it. I want to talk to these people myself, I just don't trust ya

Anyhow, I must say that you shouldn't rule out trading with kids, cuz it's tough to draw the line. I've dealt with 13 year olds that were great to deal with, and 18 year olds who yelled at me and said it's not their fault their Mom couldn't drive them to the post office ALL WEEK, and i have to stop being such an ***, cuz he's poor and his Mom is working.

Dum dee dum dum.

Im 15 and have done several transactions, including small parts (hoppers, parts etc.) and guns (my timmy, spyder etc) and never have a problem. My mom does the sending and stuff but does it right on time, the day after, everyt ime. Although, you guys are lucky. I could have any gun I want because I have ways to get money, etc, but my mom wont let me spend that kind of money...hence the reason I have stock guns and ugprade them all to hell, like my impy...however, she Is letting me buy a micromag setup as a backup

Im 15 and have traded with many people. Ive traded with some respectable people on AO and never had a problem with anyone.

The only problem i have is a trade im in right now. I traded tanks witha 14 year old and for some reason he just dont have a ride to the post office. So next week i am going to go up there and take care of buisness. LOL he only lives like 2 hours away.

Well i dont think it matters to a point. But some times it does matter.

Most kids are good I spose

Well I got ripped off by some 12 year old kid from California...he said he was 16...he forgot that I had his address and phone number? Theres some agency helping me out right now, but dont forget when dealing with people, GET A PHONE NUMBER, talking personally is a lot more intimidating than email, specially if the kids parents just realize that their child committed mail fraud...not good. Im personally 14 and have been trading since I was 12, I work at a computer store for cash so usually people trust me, all my buyers are satisfied though. Hope that helps

Feedback...feedback...feedback!

And if its a big ticket item a phone number, address and third party (that YOU trust!) are always a good investment.

Good luck!

I bought my second 2k2 timmy used, had no problems. I really dont care about the age range of the kid that is selling, as long as he ships first I kid I kid, I buy a used gun from someone as long as they have good feedback.

hmm

i have acouple things i have to say about this. first, you should always do a search on the forum your buying the gun/product from for the seller. that way you can see if they posted Q's about problems with their guns, etc. second, always make sure theyre over 18, or have the permission from somebody thats over 18. if you send a 14 yr old your gun, they can keep it w/o paying, because theyre under 18 and you broke the law by selling it to them. i just took practical law in my high school and yes, it is true. (a kid in my class did that 12 cds for $1 thing, and then when the company told him he had to buy more cds, he told them that he was under 18 and he got to keep the cds w/o paying for more--he did that a couple times). third, make sure you tell them that its against the law to buy/sell pb guns as minors, that will probably deter them from commiting mail fraud or trying something smart.

-that cd thing will work, so if any of you are still under 18,(i turned 18 5 months ago, i cant do it) try it. make sure you NEVER tell them that you are 18 tho, because then you are commiting fraud, and u are breaking the law. if they ask if your 18, say "why would i be calling if i wasnt?"--that way you never said you were 18 tricky, arent i?

I don't know...
But I have a lvl-x RT valved minimag, shocktech drop, AGD 68/4.5k Flatline, ULE body Chrome, Black I-frame, Foregrip, eggo 2, freak kit, SS freakw/ black tip, aluminum freak w/red tip, and I'm going to buy a halob when they are in the shop I goto. I also have a e-mag and another minimag. Guess what? I'm 15.

There are things called connections Easy jobs own!

Also.. Trust them depending on who they are. If I ever sell my gun(s), I wuv you all! If they sound mature then deal with them. If they act like they are kings of the world... Don't. If you feel compelled to do so: talk to their parents.
