I guess the reason for my my rambling is that: 1) not every private seller is a crook, 2) if you gotta pay by credit card you probably can't afford the gun in the first place, 3) every website that I know of requires a 3 day inspection period for ALL sellers, and 4) screwing around with a U. S. Postal Money Order can put you in a world of hurt.
I agree. I've sold probably 15 guns online. Course, I've probably bought 20. Always been happy with what I got, and the feedback from what I sold is ALWAYS positive. I buy from gunbroker all the time. I just sold one on there last week. I don't accept credit cards, either. But I don't have 50 guns for sale at any one time. I don't shine up guns and mark them as new and unfired. I am courteous to ALL inquiries, especially those asking legitimate questions. I ALWAYS answer the question fully. I don't deflect it by saying "I've answered your question in the ad". This guy is a scumbag. He is rude to genuine inquires (I'm sure only those asking questions that he couldn't answer. I'll BET if I sent him one saying "your model 65 looks exquiste. Is it REALLY as good as it looks?" would get me a sweetheart answer. But ask why the gun is so polished, or doesn't come the original factory grips, and you get the freeze treatment. I just want this guy to get shut down. He's stealing from people, and if it is true that non-dealers can't profit more than 10% of their annual income, I want this guy to get hammered. He's selliing some of these for $5000. Unless he's Donald Trump, his sales are more than 10% of his income.
