Nope. You are gtg. Just enjoy yourself, and I hope you stick around. I have bought sold and traded for years and have never ran into anyone I thought was sketchy or possibly a criminal. Everyone I have ever dealt with seemed to be law abiding citizens.
Neither is necessary nor is there any legal reason to have them.
Also, TexasGunTrader had degraded into a cruel joke. It's much smarter to advertise in the classifieds on this forum (as long as you don't dick over the buyer! )

Usually that's evident in the first 30 seconds of meeting someone.
Of course, I did buy a very nice revolver from you, so I take it I didn't look like the criminal element!
And if there has been another advantage to conducting business via this forum, it's that I've met some outstanding firearms enthusiasts and end up spending a considerable amount of time chatting with them after the deal is done.
Unfortunately, I've also had a few bad experiences with a select few on here; but there's always the risk of that!
But for the most part, I would advocate selling via this forum than any other online source, gun shows or shops...
Cheers! M2
I've only bought one thing from someone on TexasGunTrader but only agreed to meet up after talking back and forth with him through the phone first. When we met up we struck up a conversation and come to find out we had served in sister battalions in the Corps (though he got out a few years before I did) after that the tension was gone, we bs'd a bit more, did the trade, and left with a good feeling that neither of us were going to regret the sale. I did tell him about this forum however not sure if he joined or not.
PLEASE tell me you're not allowed to breed.....
Your comment to "require" a BOS AND recording personal identifying info on a casual sale is beyond stupid. And unnecessarily dumb.

Ive bought only one handgun from a private seller, lol... he was a LEO, which I did not know until we met. I was very comfortable buying XD40sc from him. I saw his Ad on this website. I'm very pleased w/XD.
This was a good thread for me to read.
I just decided to trade/sell my Beretta 92A1 and I was thinking about trading it to Red's. However, in my experience, shops never want your extra mags but private owners do. When you have 100 -200 in mags, this can be a pain while dealing with a shop.

my bad....but why defend someone so eager to require something beyond the law's requirements....
Why not stop trying to "Game the System"? Frankly, it makes me leery of dealing with folks like you - because if you try to "get over" on something so simple, why should I trust you on how you represent a product when there's "real" money involved????
