You gotta be able to smell the stink of someone who's gonna be trouble to deal with. I was born with that ability.

Before I buy or sell to someone I don't know, I check their posts.
Are they part of the community or just camping in the classifieds and working deals.
Communicate all the way through the sale and make a new buddy, it's not that hard.

This one time, I went on the USPS website and calculated shipping and insurance cost. Saved me a trip to the PO. True story.  Wait, what? Was this on that inner tube thing?

Accounts of established members have been hacked by scammers, to appear as if a long time member is selling or buying.
Rick has warned us all repeatedly about this.

I’m not a poor worthless f$uck. I’m buy chit from places like opticsplanet , brownells and such. Never ran into the issues you gave, sorry.
I sell things to no one… again, I’m not a poor worthless f$uck. Totally don't see where this fits into the conversation. Humble brag?

I found out that the free classifieds aren't free if you are trying to sell a few Frankenstud Sling Keepers now and then.
The boss needs paid..... And you're probably making less than some have made selling miscellaneous items or firearms. So much for "Free" classifieds. At least there are quite a few who know what they are and where to go if they want one. Time to fly under the radar now. Yeah Lane has run an add for plastic tubes and AR15 oil filter gizmos forever

Did a deal here a while back on a rifle scope with a guy. When I received the scope in the mail I sent him this pic. And a WTF happened. He immediately tried calling me to ask what had happened and I said oh this was after I took the scope out of the box. We both had a good laugh about and welcomed each at our campfire. I think it made both of our days LOL ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/871x653q90/923/8CEuap.jpg) I've sent Leighton 4 packages that have arrived like that, one an expensive custom rod, but the worst was a hog back straps that took 3 weeks to get there, the cooler was busted open, the last one was a package of kraut, hot sauce, and apple pie shine that was crushed.

Yeah Lane has run an add for plastic tubes and AR15 oil filter gizmos forever Or others who have had firearms or firearms parts for over 2 years. Same w others and knives. Not going to call em out by name, if slipping through the cracks more power to em. Or they could be paying, none of my business.

I've bought and sold hundreds and hundreds of firearms and gun related items totaling probably tens of thousands of dollars on many popular gun forums, including here. Hope you reported your earnings to The IRS!!! He just did by making this post. ATF might be interested in his FFL records as well. I’m pretty sure hundreds and hundreds of rifles is a bit beyond personal casual sales.
