    Does anyone think there are sting operations on CALGUNS firearms for sale ?

    Case in point, I'm selling a shotgun, I was PM about a potential sale and noticed the member or guess had no posts, could that be a red flag? Has anyone had offers like this? Obviously I was going to do a legal transfer, but I just a had a funny feeling.



    Thanks

    My experience with "no posters" is strictly negative. I've done a few transactions with them and I can tell you that 4 out of 5 times it ends in a negative review on iTrader...

    I will no longer deal with them. The last one I dealt with was a very "unCalgunnner type" that left me hanging at the point of agreed exchange.

    My advice: make the terms clear and use iTrader and to warn others if it goes bad.

        If some level of government had that information, what would they do with it? How would having that info benefit public safety? How would it benefit law enforcement?

            I've met a lot of good people on CalGuns doing PPTs. So far nobody has pressed me for C&C. I will stick to the letter of the law in this regard. I don't think law enforcement has much of a sense of humor when it comes to firearms in this state.

                Beware of anyone asking you to do anything questionable - run and don't look back. I've had sting set-ups contact me for out of state purchase opportunities in the past.

                    Everyone was new on Calguns at one time, I refer a lot of folks here who weren't aware of the site and have expressed interest in guns or possibly looking to buy a gun.

                    I've dealt with folks who had only a couple post, never had an issue, even folks with low post count here, these members may have EBAY or AR-15.com or other feedback which can give you an ideal in their dealings.

                    Curious how many post did you have at the time of your first deal?

                    As long as you do your deal legally, you got nothing to worry about, if your doing a transaction over the mail for parts, that's when I ask if they have other feedback that's viewable, but in the end, sometimes you have to take a chance
