I have bought 2 pistols local ftf that were positive transaction with red blooded Americans. I stopped using after I had a bad experience:
totally legit looking ad with proper description and photos of a Nightforce atacr, after starting coms with the seller he replied with a email that was a very strange email address. After he called me “buddy” and “best regards” I knew the drill. He told me he had to go out of town and please remit payment at earliest convenience, followed up with a tracking number (mind you I never sent payment) the package arrived a couple days later with a candle in it and never heard another word from seller....
