    Guy is Def a private seller. I've only purchased from dealers on GB, but I don't know that the site forbids private sales. If it doesn't, it's only one major lawsuit away from being shutdown.

    Let me see... isn't that just a regular Mossburg 500, with what appears to be an 18" barrel, with a Shockwave grip? Trying to decide what category it fits under GCA 68, or NFA.

    Nothing illegal about the gun. It's that he's advertising it as a Shockwave, when it's not one.

    As with others, nothing illegal with the gun, or private sellers on GB for that matter.
    I figured you were talking about the sh*tty photography and his feet in the pic.

    Similar pics on Armslist, feet in pics, guns posed in bathrooms and vehicles.
    On messy bed sheets etc. Poorly written ads.

    I'd say the vast majority of the ads on GB are from private sellers. Why would there be a lawsuit?

    Plus he has 4 different Non rated bidders bidding on it.
    The reason I mention this, on an item that hits a ridiculous price, a Non rated bidder has nothing to lose if he backs out and doesn't pay.
    He has no feedback or reputation at stake, he could simply not pay and create a new account and do it all over again.
    This can be really costly to a seller, as normal people will wait for payment and by the time you figure out you're not getting paid the market may have cooled off.
    And the other bidder may have realized it went crazy high and is no longer interested in it.
    When I run auctions on GB I put in the ad, that you must have at least 5 positive feed-backs to bid on my items.
    In other words you have to have some "skin in the game".

    Here's the kicker. I reported that post to GB yesterday morning as an incorrect description. Never heard from them, and the auction is still active. :rolleyes:
