Be careful. Lots of scams going on. I found an ad on Armslist for a pre-panic priced LMT but sounded too good to be true. Contacted seller that if everything was legit Id take it. Get an email at 4:30am asking where Im located. I respond at 4:35am to see if he's open to sjhipping to TX. Get a response from him at 4:45a, that it was no problem. Just send my FFL info and payment. So I do a little research and find that the title, description, and photos from his ad are an exact match to a Gunbroker listing. LOL, at least change it up a little. Anyway, I have email out to him asking him to explain the coincidence. We'll see if I ever hear back.
Oh yeah btw I cant sleep so Ive been doing the worst thing possible all night...shopping for guns and ammo online |

OH, this is getting good. Now I'm just messing with him.
ME - Still for sale? If so I'll take it. Can get you funds however you prefer. Feel free to call me. HIM - Where are you located ? ME - I am located in Dallas/Fort Worth area. If you're willing to ship, I would fully pay for shipping costs and already have an FFL for you to send to. Let me know your thoughts. HIM - Yea I can ship, get back to me with your ffl details.once payment is made, I'll ship out ME - Quick question. Did you use the description and pictures from this Gunbroker auction? Do you have any actual pictures of the gun? Or proof that this is not a scam? You can understand my concern since $2k is alot of money to potentially send a complete stranger. HIM - what prove do you want? ME - Additional pictures, Serial #, etc. Can you accept credit card payment or Paypal? HIM - I posted a ad on gunbroker thoe, and think its a bad idea placing it here if it work out in gunbroker.I dontt do paypal nor credit card thoe. ME - What type of payment can you do? So here's an idea. I'm in Dallas which is about 5 hours from Little Rock. I could drive up there this weekend to pick up. I have nothing else to do. Or, I have an uncle that lives in Bentonville that could drive down sometime next week and pick up. Thoughts? |

i listed stuff on gb and also locally. If it sold local auction goes down if it doesnt auction stays up. Yeah but do you list item in different states? And do you take a significantly lower price locally than your what GB auction ends at? I would take a lower price localy, because auction sites always charge a pretty high fee. |

Yeah but would you take $2k lower to sell locally? Armslist has russian scammers on it.. use two or more email accounts.. I had one guy respond to one guy saying he is from kentucky and to the other guy he was from kansas.. add to that the guy did not speak english as his first language and he was selling the gun at pre-panic prices.. russian scammers in russia may not all be aware what is going on here politically. If it's too good to be true than it probably is. I would only deal locally, with my CHL on me and at a police station or with a few friends nearby |
