You offer a gun for sale that has every imaginable upgrade done to it and includes 7 mags and you expect me to believe you only put 100 rounds through it. I might have been born at night..just not last night. If your going to sell a gun on here stop trying to rip someone off. It's so obvious when you do.
 
To had to your post, why advertise ads without pictures ?

For me, even if I am looking for that specific gun, I don't even contact the seller...., post Pics with your ads !!!!

You do realize that some people get hyped up about a gun, and order a bunch of those aftermarket parts before the gun even arrives. Then when it does arrive, they put in the parts, take it to the range once and realize that it does not live up to their expectations.

Not everyone was born with all their guns, not everyone receives their gun immediately, not everyone takes all their guns to the range every week. I've sold three guns so far without even shooting them a single time, because by the time I actually got around to being able to take them out I had changed my mind and decided to go with a different gun.
 
I for one beleive there are many people who have lots of guns and never shoot them at all. I have three personal friends that have bought new guns and sold them before they ever fired them.

Why I have no idea they just do it.

Buy the gun, not the story.

True , but you kind of have to depend on the story as alot of firearms on the EE are sold via mail without being seen in person prior to purchase......by the time it arrives at the buyers home , the buyer has already paid for it and the money is gone....if the firearm is shot out , it is then to late to get your money back.....

This I agree with as well and also in this day and age not doing EMT's and only excepting money orders? Come on lets get it. I for one have to want something really bad before I am going down to the post office and pay approx. $10.00 for a money order and then wait a week for him to receive it.

You only have to have the post office lose a money in the mail and see what you have to go through before you get that cleared up. Ask me how I know about this.

I've got a BNIB M&P 9 Pro Series with 34 mags and 0 round count in my basement...

If there are no mods and no marks and it's a standard gun... a Glock 17 Gen 4 is a Glock 17 Gen 4... if you don't know what it looks like... then you should probably go look and feel one before you flop down the money... but then again, if you buy it before you've felt it, you might sell it before you shoot it because you don't like how it feels...
 
I'm not worried about round counts. Most people I see shooting and selling, even the people I shoot IDPA/IPSC with, put in round counts well below 2000 before selling a gun; if they get over that kind of count, they're usually going to keep the gun. 5000 rounds is nothing in the majority of firearms, save antiques and historical pieces which play by different rules.

I find most people who have a gun that is genuinely used hard are pretty clear about it (I remember some time ago a gent posting his 92FS which had been pretty thoroughly battered in the best way--though use).

"Low round count", "box of ammo", etc. are pretty much in the same category as "shoots like a dream", "great trigger", "very accurate" and so on--they're nothing statements most people don't know how to quantify anyway, and you can safely ignore. Pictures and seller rep are what matter.
