[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 4329984, member: 27991"] IF cross posting put it in the ad. If it sells, mark SOLD on post If you make a deal, stick to it. It's really not that hard. My last dealing on Armslist, before they went stupid. I listed a SP101. Ad wasn't up 10 minutes and I get an "I'll take it." Conversation starts, buyer wants shipped to Iowa. Sends name and address. Ok, no problem. Send me a photo ID and FFL. Email pops up. DL is Illinois, different name, Chicago address. FFL is from Seattle, Washington. Sale price was $600 and he was sending $800 for shipping and "trouble". I didn't fall off of the cabbage truck, on my head. Tell him, "not happening" Flag for Armslist. No response 3 days later, I get MAIL (never gave a name or address) from a different name, sa.e Iowa address, copy of FFL (same license number, different name, Idaho address), DL, (different name, Indiana address), and check for $3850 (different name), letter asking to ship gun, along with 25 Wally gift cards of $100 each. The excess to cover gun, shipping and added work. Flagged Armslist, no response. Contacted BATFE, was told "local LE matter" contacted FBI, "local LE", contact OSBI, local LE, take to local PD, "we will contact OSBI." NOTHING EVER DONE, to my knowledge. I should have taken check to bank and forgot the rest. [/QUOTE]
