Are there any that will send you a gun before you send money?

 

[bobzilla]

I ship stuff without payment all the time.... not.

 

[ModernGunner]

Not my 'thing', but dat's a purdy gun, right dere...

 

[nra4ever]

I wonder how accurate it is at 15 yards?

 

[flashpuppy]

I sent an email. Let's see where this goes. Either I get a nice pistol at a decent price or we have some fun with the scammer...

Too gaudy for my taste.
I tend to shoot and carry whatever I buy. I'd be uncomfortable leaving fingerprints on something like that.

 

[You'll shoot your eye out]

As a kid I had a zinc cap-gun that looked exactly like that gun. It had the same kind of scroll work and everything. I was one proud 6 year old!

Maybe that's the scam, it's only a cap-gun!

Why is it a scam? Did you ask him if he would take $1k so you could turn around and sell it for $1800? lol Non-issue.

 

[drillsgt]

Hey 1800.00's a deal! The same gun being sold in Florida is going for 2550.00.

I bet if someone checked gunbroker, they would find the real ad.

Two ads at two different locations with the same wording=avoid.

Did you email about the one in Indiana or the identical one in Florida?

 

[shortyforty]

I emailed about the ad from indiana he claimed to be from Warsaw , indiana . As soon as I offered a ftf transfer at a local ffl he stopped responding to my emails.

Two ads at two different locations with the same wording=avoid.

Why? Is advertising in more than one venue inherently dishonest? Would it be better, ie more likely to be honest if the wording was different in each ad?
