Late to this party/event, but will add my 2cents. First off, I'm not a dealer, but I was one. Gave it up because frankly it got to be too much of a pain. Now use a couple of local guys and they charge $35.00 for the transfer. Probably will get a C&R license down the road, because I buy nothing less then 50 years old because that's what I like. Anyway, back to case in point.
I sell quite a few guns via Gunbroker. I always state that I'm not a dealer and to make sure the dealer being used on their end has no problems with taking guns from a non-dealer. That said, once a gun is sold I will find out who their dealer is and contact them, obtain their email address and send them a digital copy of my driver's license so they can use it to log the gun into their books. Is it required, no. Does it make sense, yes in my opinion. Frankly, it just closes the loop in my mind. What it also tells that transferring dealer is I'm on the up and up.
PS. For FWIW, when I purchase a Gun, I also send the seller a digital copy of my dealer's FFL whose handling the transfer on my end. That seems to work pretty well. Even now, I run into some dealers who won't take a Fax or digital copy of my dealers FFL. In that case we resort to snail mail and just send them a signed copy. I don't try to fight with dealers because I will lose. I just accept that things aren't always easy and move on. Not worth losing any sleep about it.
