For Sale: 
Ideal .25727-75
This is a mold for the hollow point bullet. The mold is in good condition.  It is missing the hollow point attachment. IT should not be too hard to make one. or you could make a simple plate and cast solid bullets. $50 plus $15 shipping.

What diameter bullets does it cast in a soft alloy? Interested in acquiring it based on the answer! (Looking for .257+, preferably .258 or a skinch more.)

I guess the guideline on something like this is to buy it, figure out a way to cast it, measure it and if too small resell it with complete information.

I will comment.   

We have a guy has something for sale for a great price (I was tempted, myself).

One guy wants a custom fitting to try it out and see if it looks good on him.  He doesn't commit, wants to window shop for a bit first.

Another guy recognizes the great buy, very politely says he'll take it if it's not otherwise sold, giving the opportunity for the first guy to step up and just commit.

The seller, who obviously just wants to sell, sells it to the guy that actually wants it and is willing to buy.

This seller operates just exactly as I do.  A willing buyer that wants it now, and will pay, trumps every looker that will take it someday if they decide it's right for them.  Especially if the looker wants more information that would require me to cast a bullet with the mold.  Adding an hour or so to the sale time, or 15 minutes if I was coincidentally going to be casting anyway.    

I can't fault the seller for selling to a willing buyer.  The only thing I might have done, is post "Buyer, 2, it is yours pending a reply from Buyer 1.  Buyer 1, I have no clue what size it casts, do you want it or should I go to buyer 2?  If I don't hear back by noon, it's sold to buyer 2".

Reasonable. I would have jumped on it as is if I didn't already have a similar mold. You can never have enough molds, especially at a good price.

And that's the way I would have handled it. Nothing wrong with a second person saying they'll take it if the first doesn't take it. And the seller has a sure thing if that happens.

Complete and utter bullshit!!! Don't be obtuse.

I wasn't asking for a "custom fit And I sure as hell wasn't "window shopping". Go back and read my reply (after first maybe taking a remedial reading comprehension skills course). I merely queried as to what fucking size the bullets are that drop from the mold. Pending the answer A) "such and such size" or B) "I don't know and I'm not inclined to find out what size" would've taken, like ten seconds, and I could've made a declaration of intent or no intent to buy in, like, another ten seconds. A perfectly normal way of conducting a transaction - a perfectly acceptable question before laying out $50 for an unseen bullet mold. ($50 that comes fairly dear to somebody living on Social Security, by the way.)

My reaction to being stiffed was polite and mildly humorous, I thought, and was willing to let it go until aspersions were cast by this smartass.

I've bought a helluva lot of stuff here in the classifieds over the years and nobody I've dealt with can accuse me of being anything but forthright nor ever dilatory in making payments. So yes, I feel more than a little disappointed both with the seller and the buttinski who jumped the line and was rewarded for it - and this fellow's reaction.

There, I said it publicly, through a mouth that has zero filters these days due to intensive chemotherapy, side effects as some here may attest to. Sorry if ya don't like it.

Good day. It'll be a while before I open my wallet here in these classifieds again.

Respectfully, I have to disagree.  Your seem to be suggesting that with ANY item that someone post for sale  is reserved until any and all questions are answered, pictures delivered and a decision is made. Therefore you should immediately ask any question and call dibbs and decide later. 
IMHO a " I'll take it ", without any qualifying questions is the end of the story.
