Blatant scam. He has to tell you he has two of the guns so that when you send your money he can keep the ad active and try and reel in more suckers.
CHAZ
You think (lol)! I e-mailed for more pics and info, will keep you posted

Tell him you want to use an equity house and see what he says.

Well it sold for $880. Hope the buyer gets in hand. For $880 in that condition and if it's on the up and up, that's one heck of a deal.
BTW, no responses to the other e-mails I sent.
We'll see if he posts his "2nd" gun for sale.
Best!
Greg

I emailed him and asked if he would sell me the gun for a $1,000.00 and do an exchange at the ffl dealer in his town of Corsicana, Tx. It would be the pawn shop in the town. I asked if he took the gun to the ffl dealer where his money would be waiting. He said that everything was fine and he would sell me the gun for the $1,000 but no ffl. He wanted the money to go to his gun broker's account. Sorry, too fishy for me. Frank

Jay is probably the $880.00 bidder on the other auction! I like the $810.00 gun better, how about you guys.

Sooooo......
I just spoke with the real owner of that gunbroker account on the phone and it seems that his account was hacked... likely by some Nigerian scammer or the like.... these scammers are getting smarter and smarter. They are hacking into accounts with established feedback so that people are more likely to buy.
So..... watch out!

Berrien Good Question, when I reported it, they said they'd get back to me, and said that they had a lot of backlog!

In the end we have to be the masters of our own success and take full responsibility. Let the buyer beware. If we ever get too greedy we put ourselves at risk of getting nailed by unscrupulous bastards like this scammer. Good lesson here.
