I started selling off some of my guns to add other to my collection. Have been using Gunbroker and Gunsamerica. While most guys are legit, I have already run into a couple fellows that are obviously up to no good. Here some of the approaches I have experienced. Maybe other can add theirs to help unsuspecting seller from getting in trouble.
One guy who claimed that he was a private detective tried to convince me that in NC its OK to do a sale face to face with the buyer not needing a permit of concealed carry permit. Total nonsense of course.
Several guys asked if I could meet them to show them a gun that is up for auction. Great way to get mugged, robbed, followed home for a break in later, etc. Always decline to do this.
Watch for guys who will try to get you to ship to places where residents are not allowed to have handguns at all, like NYC. They will send you some fake ID and fake permits.
