Sharpshooter
I buy a lot of guns on Gunbroker, and I usually am always watching a few things here and there.
So there was a Mossberg cruiser that was real cheap to buy, but at the moment, I am not buying guns as I am saving for an engagement ring, but it was a real great deal, and I felt bad to just let it pass up, because if I weren't saving, I would have bought it. So I sent the link to my buddy and asked if he was interested in buying it. Not buying it for me, but just buying it for himself to own (I knew that he was also looking and it was a great deal). He also does not have a Gunbroker account. He did want it, so I bid for him using my account, and he won.
He contacted the seller, he pad for it himself, he contacted an ffl holder to transfer the gun, no problems. Everything is great. Well I went into the gun shop on Friday to shoot, and the guy setting me up to pay for range time, saw my name on my ID and said they had just gotten the shotgun in, but it's in my name. I'm not sure why the seller would have sent it in my name. because I never had any contact with the seller. The only thing I can think of is that he got my name from my gunbroker account and sent it. The guy explained that I would need to come in and pay the transfer fee since it's in my name.
My friend will just give me the money, and he'll go in with me, but it's going to be his, so am I doing anything legally wrong here? How can we get this transferred so that it is in his name? Should I be worried about anything?
Thanks!
