Why?

[geedavell]

I have seen several post in the Private Sale Section of people selling handguns that are "still in jail" One guy even wanted someone to "take over" his SSE. My question is why does this happen? Are there that many people who change their mind about a gun before even taking possession of the gun? Or is it strictly these people trying to make a buck off the hard to get guns? Are these sales considered a straw purchase?

There trying to make some money and are douchebags. Not sure on the straw purchase thing.

Not a straw sale. At the time of the original DROS, the seller's intent was to take transfer of the firearm.

That or wifey found out about the purchase and they have no balls.

This is why my gun purchases are never done with commingled money.

Perhaps people find something they wanted more while waiting for the 10 day.

could also be that they are having DOJ problems/delays and want to bail out of the deal.

Sucks to be them if thats the case, my wife usually goes with me to buy firearms.

Impulse buy and then regrets later. Whether they found another or not. Or maybe the salesperson was just really good they couldn't say no

Could be trying to make a quick buck as well

It's a pretty douchey thing to do if you're trying to make money off of it (sure its a free country). I saw one listing where one guy wanted $1K to take over his SSE, but you still had to pay DROS + taxes.

Later I saw the same gun from same store for 799 + SSE.

They might have bought in a frenzy and calmed down since.
