Watch out for user MegaMehg. He replied to my WTB listing with an unbelievable price and with a photo of a rifle taken from the gunsinternational website. He never did respond when I called him out on it.
WTB ads are risky, so be extra careful with them.

And always ask for a proof of life photo (picture of item taken with your user name and date in the photo)
"Honey, when I die, sell my guns for what they're worth and not what I told you I paid for them."

It's too easy to photoshop a piece of paper with a name and date. My preferred method is to do a video call with the seller holding the item. If they won't do that, no deal for me. Not risking losing my $$$ to save a few $$$.

I usually ask for their address and immediately drive to their location and set up 24 hr surveillance equipment, once installed check in to a nearby hotel and start watching and recording. After two weeks if the coast is clear, I look them back up and ask if they still have their 2 boxes of ammo.
