Tis not true K ... I can think of a couple of people who'd back you ... Unfortunately for you though, we are both more unlikeable than you are, so it is highly likely that your buyer would never show himself ...
You too?
Gave me a headache.
I hope he gets his money back, but confidence is not high.
Armslist is good for finding face to face deals... not so much for doing long distance transactions. If you do, I would only pay with Paypal or a credit card, that way you can do a stop payment if they screw you. The same really goes for all online transactions.
I almost flew to california last month.
3 month transaction full of lies, deceit and more lies.
All of that from a manufaturer.
After the last time i called them and told them i needed that shipping tracking # so i could put it on the police report for the stolen rifle(since they had told me that it had shipped a week and a half earlier) then magically they came up with my rifle and shipped it back after 3 months of doing absolutely NOTHING to stand behind their lifetime warranty(since changed to limited)
I will NEVER do busines or buy another ENTREPRISE ARMS products.
Out of spec receivers and even worse customer service.

Now Really!! BB you know how mild and meek GC looks in one of his ancient bugs...
I went round and round and round with an insurance company in a similar fashion. LSS, youngest took an ambulance ride to Mercy. Said ambulance ride was covered by insurance. Finally EMSA threatened to ding my credit because insurance was slow (like months) in paying off and EMSA wanted me to pay and then collect from insurance company. (Yeah, right ...) Insurance company representatives had admitted to me on several occasions that EMSA's claim was a valid one. Insurance company representatives had told me on several occasions "the check's in the mail" ... I had kept meticulous records (dates, times, CSR's name, content of discussions with them and their immediate supervisors, etc. ...)
Finally, one day after a particularly contencious (sp?) conversation with EMSA I called the insurance company and kept asking for "your supervisor" until I got someone who, when they told me the next person's name up in the chain of command I got a "Mr. So-and-So", not "let me get Tom for you" ... JACKPOT!! Mr. So-and-So assured me that there would be a check over-nighted to EMSA that afternoon.
48 hours later, I called EMSA ... Hmmmm ... no check ... (Just to give them plenty of time to hang themselves ...
) I called Mr. So-and-So's office back and got his secretary. Hmmmm ... Mr. So-and-So is in a meeting? Yeah, why am I not surprised ... But ... hey ... You're his secretary, I need that tracking number of the check you guys over-nighted a couple of days ago ... Hmmmm, yeah, really? ... Well, I guess I need to talk to Mr. So-and-So's supervisor then. Wait? What? Oh, you have a tracking number for me? Yeah, that would be great ... Called FEDEX ... Yeah, it hadn't been mailed yet. BUT EMSA got their check the very next day ... How interesting ...That little adventure was 10 months long from my darling son's nose-dive off a second-floor balcony at the apartment complex to EMSA getting their payment from insurance. Gotta love the ever-present, long-suffering "Customer Service Representative" who can't really do anything for you but promise you something they have no intention of following through on ... LOL
(BTW, when Mr. So-and-So's secretary quit a year or so later, Mr. So-and-So called me and offered me a job. Said my knowledge of the dates, names and content of discussions with his company didn't impress him so much as the fact that I had documented what TIME all the calls were!
Something about he thought he could put my OCD to good use! He remembered my name and went through the old phone logs to find my number ... 
BB, why isn't it a surprise that you can make an impression on someone.
I dunno ... For the record, I was pleasant with everyone I talked to there (and there were a LOT of people I talked to). Catch more flies with honey than salt ... Too bad I can't seem to remember that once somebody really pisses me off ...
