I've been buying and selling online for 30 years. Before craigslist I used usenet. Anyways I've noticed certain sellers likely lean politically a certain way based on how they conduct themselves. Those that are suspicious  and insist on meeting at "police stations" are likely republicans. Those sellers who are fine with meeting at their home are democrats. In other words sellers who are bad at judging characters are right leaning. Those good at judging people are left leaning.

You get into politics with them during the transaction?

I never verify since I don't buy from right leaning people often. And when I do I wouldn't bring it up. I have just noticed that right leaning people tend to think a certain way shared by how some sellers operate.

If you don't somehow verify that they are right or left, how can you then determine "that right leaning people tend to think a certain way?" How would you know they are right leaning?

Buyers/sellers stipulating meetings at police stations or other public places are being more cautious. Are you saying conservatives seem to be more cautious than liberals?

Of course

Hence the purpose of this post, to confirm my hunch...

It's just a hunch you have that the more cautious ones are conservative. I have never been able to determine that in life but I guess you could be right.

Not only cautious but they are usually also stubborn, inflexible, delusional on price, my way or highway attitude etc..

Sounds like you’re describing a cohort that usually votes for Democrats…

He doesn’t know if they are Dem or Rep. He is just going on a hunch. Seems like an odd take but odd takes are allowed here. Lol.

Doesn't seem that odd to me. How about white people driving american cars with pro Police/firefighters/Military bumper stickers? Is it "odd" to say they are likely right leaning?

When it comes to buying or selling on a marketplace scenario,  I don't care what side of the isle you sit on. If you have something I want to buy, or vise versa. Let's make a deal!  
No political anything ever in, buying,  selling or business. Period.  

Do your browse your local ads? A lot of the stuff is overpriced from people not interested in "making a deal".. Waiting for the "greater fool".. If they don't seell  it in years they will throw it in the garbage so that nobody can get it for free.

You haven’t made a case that a conservative is more cautious. The things you mention, and in my experiences, don’t point to someone being right or left. Being cautious isn’t a sign of political affiliation to me. That is more based on lived experiences. If someone got assaulted, or had a loved one assaulted, that may lead them to be more cautious but that would have nothing to do with their political stripe.

I just agreed with everything you just said!

Let’s all kumbaya and celebrate the joy with a Trump Dance!

Being cautious and distrustful of outsiders is a core right leaning belief.  

Not my thing but you gotta do you! Lol. Ok I have to run as I have a date lined up!  Peace

In case his misspelling "isle" instead of "aisle," didn't clue you in, but you're now talking to arguably the dumbest person on this board. He has been voted "Most likely to take a branch to the edge of the page" and "Stupidest Poster Of All Time." The only way to shut him up is to stop talking to him and give him the last word. It makes him feel like he won so he just shuts up. Watch me.

As far as I can tell, you consider yourself of good character and therefore anyone who deals with you is therefore confirmed to be a good judge if character. Wouldn't we have to know more of their trading history to see if they've had an above average number of favorable experiences to validate their character assessments.

Don’t expect any replies from Nicky to be on topic. As our most elderly poster, he’s aging out of this forum and is easily distracted.

Well to the dark side Bobby 🤣🤣🤣

I was talk texting while running some errands. I suppose my talk text picked up the wrong version of aisle while replying.
But in true form, the spelling police showed up because he has no other life outside a fuk board.  

"Those that are suspicious  and insist on meeting at "police stations" are likely republicans."

Too bad he can only re-use for the umpteenth time one of the few gifs in his repertoire.
Sad.

1. Predictability off topic.  
2. You calling out anyone as Board Cop is the height of irony and hypocrisy.

Yes right leaning people are more aware of crime rates. But they are less aware at reading all the social queues to determine if someone if a threat. Right-leaning people will focus on one dimension like race to negate an entire group.  

Only when ChicKie does it, I guess.
Hypocrisy Alert!

Pointing it out to the board patrol ......no its not.  

“But they are less aware at reading all the social queues to determine if someone if a threat.”

First time I am hearing that "self defence training" can teach you all you need to know about assessing people. How does watching  fictional characters exploiting stereotypes teach you anything? How does that replace decades of experience dealing with thousands of REAL people? Do you  have a link to such training video on youtube? I am sure the comments will be hilarious.

You’ll be amazed what you can learn just by studying body language. It’s like low resolution telepathy. If you study psychology you can refine this further. It’s a fun mental exercise. I’ve gotten to the point where I can sometimes predict another person’s thoughts before they think it.
