People confuse me

[Alpo]

Another board. A guy starts a thread. Has anybody bought one of those Beretta 84 police trade-ins on that big gun and parts site in South Carolina?

 

So I did a search on a gun site in South Carolina, and I come up with classic arms. And they had those Beretta 84s, but they're sold out.

 

Then just a little bit ago I get a email from palmetto, and my brain clicked. Palmetto - that's the state tree of South Carolina isn't it? And I go to their website, and hey, how about that. They've got the Berettas.

 

And I just wonder how difficult it would have been for the guy's question to have been - has anyone bought one of those Beretta 84s from palmetto?

 

People are weird.

I never know if they’re being cryptic, elusive, manipulative or stupid. When I see a post like that I just move on.

He didn't want to tip any body off till he got his.

Just a couple wild guesses, 

(1) He didn't want to flood the seller with orders and have them run out before he got his answer, 

(2) He might have thought that it was against forum rules to mention them by name.

maybe he just wanted to discus what you got to compare with what he git ? it doesnt sound like a sales pitch to me but i guess one might read it that way 

[Alpo]

I didn't think it was a sales pitch.

 

But let's go back in time 30 or 40 years, to whenever it was they brought it out.

 

"Hey, has anyone tried that new barbecued rib sandwich that a certain hamburger restaurant is selling?"

 

Wouldn't it make more sense to say, "Hey, has anyone tried that new barbecued rib sandwich that McDonald's came out with?"

There wasn't a limited supply of McRib back then.
