Assuming proof is the law, then the answer is simple: the dealer in question gets turned in. If I'm a knowledgeable gun buyer and the guy is selling out of proof guns, contrary to the law, I want him out of the business so he doesn't perpetrate fraud upon the next buyer. Same as any other crook. Same as if I learn that the real "bargain" I'm about to buy is a stolen gun. Same as if I learn that the car dealer turned back the odometer.
