    Beware Anit-Gunners new tactic

    Anti-gunners posing as Calgun Members are starting a new tactic. Offering to pay more, coming from long distances and agreeing to buy your gun only to find out they do not show !!! They are using stall tactics to thwart guns getting into others hands !!

    Check your buyers history. I had one today, buyer 500 miles away, offered $150 more for a nothing gun and only a member for 1 hour !!!!!

    Beware fellow Calgunners !!!!

    I dont think theyre anti-gunners.. more like just trolls that have nothing better to do. Very common on craigslist.

        Solution: $50 or $100 "down" via PayPal's friends and family option, which means no fees, and no money back if they don't show up.

            Highly unlikely they are anti-gunners. Anti gunners work the legislature in CA and have full control of the state.

            Ding dong ditch is not an effective strategy for someone who is primarily interested in shaping up the public opinion.

              Good policy-

              zero trader feedbacks - deposit before the meet.
              Negative trader? Good bye.

                I just ignore people with zero posts, who just signed up and wanna buy something from me.

                Too many of those who wasted my time.

                    No sales to people without good and substantial feedback. I had a guy want to buy something, and I said declined due to very low feedback.

                      Were you selling a shotgun? I've had this happen so many times with shotguns.

                        Haveta defend (somewhat) the n00bs & low/no feedback.

                        iTrader is an indicator. Sure, I look at it & would hesitate to invest significant time/money into a deal with a low/no iTrader. OTOH I've had good experiences with low/no iTrader & n00b posters.

                        Advance with caution but everybody has to start somewhere.

                        You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."

                            Same here, unless I'm going to the gun store anyway for some other reason; purchase, pick-up, whatever, and then tell them meet me at at my convenience. if they are a no show, it makes no difference to me.
