Which of the following bother you most about on-line gun sellers?
but the 2-3% credit card scam is just that, a scam, so I choose it.
I laugh at on-line sellers now who make a big point out of not shipping to CA (while never mentioning the places with even tighter gun control laws.)
HUH? The businesses get charged by the credit card companies and that is the typical rate. Any business that does not break out that cost has it already built in so if you pay cash, you are paying that much more to help offset those fees
None of the above.
*I* control what I buy, and who I buy from.
I filter out sellers and guns that would put any of the above into play, and only select from the smaller subset of sellers and guns that meet MY standards for further consideration.
YOU are the buyer. Sort out things, keep the wheat and discard the chaff without a second thought.

I suspect they rejected your business with a sense of misplaced pleasure too, which is all the more sicko.Even better: standing in a well known C&R gun seller's public-facing area (perhaps in Versailles, ky) with a federal firearms license that makes it perfectly legal for me to buy any C&R gun they sell even though I am from out of state, being told they won't sell me a nagant (perfectly legal in CA) or anything else because the address on my license is in California. Go back after moving with a TX address and it is no problem. (I think that particular vendor has relaxed their nothing-in-ca stance).
In their somewhat defense: There was a time when the CA AG was claiming they would actively go after any out of state firearms business that had California customers.
Its unfathomable to me that in this day and age, ANYBODY would put a gun up for sale online with no pics, or such lousy pics that you cant tell anything about condition.
And trade for FUD, bad attitudes, little selection and high prices. No thanks.Buy local and avoid all of the nonsense.
J&G Sales... I have not thought about them for a long time. Many, many years ago when I had an FFL, I bought a used Brno .22 from them. It arrived and looked fine. Then I got a phone call saying they had shipped the wrong rifle -- they had shipped a hand-picked rifle by mistake. I just chuckled, said that it would do and said goodbye.I've bought used guns off of gun websites like J&G and AIM Surplus.
They tell you the gun is in very good condition. You get the gun and it's beat to hell. Since when is something that is beat up with scratches and dings "very good" condition?
