ID-shooting

Have sold and traded online before but this takes the cake.
Posted my Ruger Single Six on local on-line listings. Two hits from there.
One was a guy from Oregon. Told him I could not sell to him legally unless he was willing to Pay FFL transfer fees. Then he says he would a relative who lived in my state pick it up and pay. Told him that was a straw purchase and I would not do that.
Second hit was a guy who agreed on a price but was up front he would refuse to sign a bill of sale nor would he let me copy/record the info from his ID. I told him to buy someone else's gun.
Both gave me sob stories about not being criminals. My reply to both was, "ya, because criminals ALWAYS come out and declare they are." Note heavy sarcasm.
Sheesh. Am I being too paranoid, restrictive, or stringent?
