Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Ever get ripped off in an internet firearm transaction?

We had a nice PM

Things are all patched up now. Just funnin.

Yes, I sold too damned low!

Sold more than I bought.....

was lucky with the shipping/FFL part of the deals

Bought guns from GB.....lucky I guess never issues

Never got screwed on any deals from 24HR !

Which state were they in?

Nope. I’ve conducted hundreds if not a thousand online firearm sales and purchases and I don’t recall ever having an issue with money. I’ve also done a lot of deals with the good men here and NEVER had any issues, in fact I’ll often send the item before receiving payment if it’s going to a “regular” member (no liberals...I won’t sell anything to a known democrat) and I’ve always received timely payment as well as the added advantage of getting to know the members better. 👍

When I had my shop I was discerning about who I sold to and told more than a few people that I wouldn’t sell the item to them. Either something they said tripped my alarm bells or their body language concerned me. I was never so desperate to sell a firearm that I ignored my gut instinct. It didn’t usually go over well with the “customer” but I didn’t care, I didn’t want them as a customer anyway.

Surely, a "famous" 'smith, could not be fooled !

I bought my pardner pump online. I'd rather they just stole my money and I avoided the disappointment and nuisance.

bought a SXS once and the forend #'s didn't match...he could'a told me that beforehand

Whew. I didn’t want this thread to go 25 pages.

Y’all be meeting up at the Waffle House to settle it.



Ok. That is funny.

Never bought a firearm online.

Bought and sold a few dozen. Some minor condition issues. No financial issues. Did take three weeks to get two different ones, but that was the USPS.

Not everybody’s got connections....

Buying out the trunk of a car in back the bowling alley.

No, got ripped off on some bullets once

I buy all my firearms from crackheads from my roofing crews or randoms in parking lots.

The benefits of hiring criminals.

You put in orders??

Have sold some and bought MANY things on here. Never an issue but I read their posts to make sure they aren't liberal posters or otherwise corrupt.

I knew this Chinese guy who is a world famous scientist in his field of embryo transfer type stuff, idk what. He bought an ice shack off Ebay and it did not match description at all. He said to me, "Ohno! I world famous scientist, I get took on Ebay! Some scientist me." Lol

Never, that implies intent


But a man could has been known to double his paycheck on Friday

I put my FFL on Gunbroker a while back. The first xfer was good. The second was an attempted straw purchase. The next few were OK. Then I got a Savage 99 with an obliterated serial number, followed by a semiauto shotgun but the guy bought an O/U.

I deleted my FFL from Gunbroker.
