I never knew you could sell a gun. I thought you could only buy them!
Cars, on the other hand, I try to tell them everything they need to know, but not more then they need to know. If you tell them too much or too little, they sometimes misunderstand the "no warranty" condition.
For instance, I am a mechanic. They do not need to know this, because they either want you to fix what may or may not go wrong after they buy it, or they will assume that you bought it and swapped a motor/trans/misc. parts and are trying to make a buck off it. I tell them how the car has treated me, in a fair and honest manor. It is up to them to have the car inspected by a mechanic on their dollar if they so choose. I would suppose the same should be considered buying a firearm from a private seller. They could agree to meet at a gun smith and the potential buyer should have it inspected before purchase if he is that concerned with it. I am by NO means a shady character, and am always as up front as I can be. But I also subscribe to the "buyer beware" philosophy.
