So I put my gun up for sale about three months ago. I get a couple hits, but a friend of a friend tells me he want the rifle. I fugued it would better to sell the gun to someone I know than a complete stranger. He tells me he just needs to get his money together and he will buy it. Two weeks roll by and I give him a call. He says "Well I just can't afford it, and to top it off I thought about it the day after we made the deal and I knew then I just didn't want it." *** you waited two weeks to tell me you didn't want the rifle??? I am trying to sell the gun other places! Whatever...so I thought about keeping the rifle, but thought "No, I just don't love the gun, so put it back up for sale." I put it up here and on other sites for sale. I got few hits, but one guy said to take it off the market it was sold...so I did. I called him and he says he has the money and we are all set. Well I go to his house with the gun and he checks it out and he was IN LOVE. Then it got weird...he hadn't paid me any money yet and said "I can write you a check is that okay?" He already agreed to pay cash so I said cah only. He responds "Okay, but I'll need my check from work to clear first, so in a couple day I will have the money. By the way I have two questions. Can you just leave the rifle here until I can get you the money? You know where I live so it is not like I am going to steal the gun, I just want to take it to the range tomorrow? The second question do we HAVE to do the background? It is a waste of money and I don't want to wait ten days for the rifle?" Okay dude...No I am not going to leave my gun with someone I don't know, who hasn't paid me and is asking weird questions. Second...Hell yes you have to do the background. I don't know who the hell you are! You can be a freaking rapist for all I know. The background is going to happen! I wasn't that harsh but I did say there was no way I was leaving the rile without money or background through a dealer. Don't get me wrong, I think my state's laws are dumb, but that is the law...anyway He got Pissed and I do mean Pissed. I really think he was on some sort of drug considering the way he snapped! He screams at the top of his lungs "What MF-er! You don't F-ing trust me???!!! Get the F out of my house! Needless to say the deal with that guy is off. So this is now twice I have tried to sell this gun only to have two people back out or go nuts. I am going to give it one more try, and see what happens...
