Yikes, what happened to doing the right thing simply because it's the right thing to do?

I concur.

You got to be kidding about him waiting to pay 2x to file over the serial.

So instead of trying to sell it here or on another gunsite or sell to a LGS or have a LGS sell it for you on consignment you went to Craigslist?

I've tried to sell guns on here, everyone interested is always very far. Local gun shops charge insane percentages. Also to clear it up. I didn't advertise a gun for sale on craigslist, I had some 9mm ammo for sale on CL and this guy called me and asked if I had a 9mm pistol for sale because in the at I posted "I'm getting rid of all my gun stuff"

Under state law the gun is to be released to you. You also owe the guy a refund unless you had an agreement otherwise.

If he got a copy of the DROS you address is supposed to be blacked out. However you very well could be committing felony theft if you do not refund his money since you had no agreement about not refunding in the event he didn't pass the DROS.

I vote deduct gas + modest fee for wasting your time and refund the rest. How about reporting him wanting you to file the serial to PD? Maybe they can setup some kind of sting on this guy. Perhaps it will be enough GC for a LTC.

Perhaps, but if he sells the firearm and he gets less, he does not owe the buyer a full refund. Any additional expenses would also come off the refund. There was no agreement that he would get a refund if the transfer failed.

Also, please show me the law which says that in lack of a written statement to the contrary that a refund is required. There is no law that I am aware of in which demands a refund. The seller can consign the firearm at a shop and when it sells, the buyer can get a refund.

The bottom line is that a known problem for the buyer does not mean it is all on the seller. The fact that the buyer violated the law also is a problem.

The real question is is that OP Travis actually owns firearms??? Wha??? lol

So what against craiglist rule. Craiglist rule/policy is NOT the LAW.

By sneaking in the back door past the craigslist rules gets you a proven hook up with a felon. Craigslist rule/policy is NOT the LAW so teg, would you attempt that method of selling?

[nickel plate]

Driving 72 MPH in a 70 MPH zone is against the law but how many times have you done it?

They also say that you can't sell household animals such as dogs or cats but people still do. A "re-homing" fee is about as stupid as giving 50 "roses" for a good time in the casual encounters area.

Same question for you Zedrek, would you post on craigslist as Travis did?

Yes, I also don't have a problem with using Paypal for firearm payments. Like I said, it's perfectly legal to purchase or sell a firearm to someone no matter which way it transpires as long as you are going through a FFL. Also, if you read what Travis said he wrote that he didn't post a firearm for sale. The guy was buying ammo and asked if he had a 9mm handgun to sell. I can call Walmart and transfer to electronics and ask the guy if he has a personally owned gun for sale and then go to an FFL and conduct the transfer. Completely legal!
