Texas Gun Trader is another place but its 50% scammers. I'm experiencing a bunch right now on two of my adds.

What type of scams do they run ?

How do you detect them ?

I've never used that site, but also need to sell some guns.

Any intel appreciated.

Me as well. however, you have to maybe give him credit for manipulating the rules. Ask and/or complain about the rules to accumulate poets.

Yea gotta be fairly careful on there but I've had good luck. After awhile the scams become obvious. Anyone who wants anything other than to meet at a public place at a defined time with cash you should ignore.

Not a scam I just don't want to be screwed over

Go to the "Off Topic Chat" section, pick a recent thread or five, and shoot the breeze with folks. Not only will you clear the required posts for a sale ad, but you'll also become a familiar face and people will be more comfortable considering a purchase from you.

I've bought many guns from this group (I don't sell guns) and in every case they've acted with consumate integrity. I wouldn't worry much about getting screwed over by the membership here.

Welp your nine posts away from 25 so keep going and you should be able to post.

We’re a tight bunch here.
I think folks are gonna look at this a bit sideways given how eager you are to move it so quickly…and rightly so if i’m honest.

This situation appears fishy…doubtful it’s gonna sell as fast as you say you need to sell it.

If you want to move a firearm legally and quickly, the absolute fastest way is gonna be a pawn shop.

Wouldn't touch any of these "New here, and I need to sell a gun, QUICK!" deals unless I could run the serial number past NCIC.
My wife used to work at SAPD, and would run a s/n for me once in a while, back before she passed 30 years ago.
Cant really ask the police, because if it hits, they look at you funny, and start asking questions.
If you already bought it, you will be lucky to just turn it in, and take the financial hit.

See a lot of pistol parts lots on eBay, with only the receiver missing, the least likely part to fail, so those look to me as all stolen guns.

I would like to see a change on forums that required a new seller to post an image of their driver's license before selling anything.

Welcome to the Forum!

You can also bypass the 25 posts by becoming a paying member, it's $10 for cheapest membership.

I was going to suggest a "what do yall think this is worth" post with photos...
