Buying Online Privately- Best Practice

[LP1]

My rule of thumb is pretty simple - if I feel compelled to ask if something seems legitimate, then it probably isn't.

PistolPay is in Miami Beach, FL (https://www.bizapedia.com/fl/pistolpay-llc.html).

It is PaySafe (who I do NOT recommend) that is on the Winnebago reservation and specifies in it's T&C that Winnebago law governs your transaction. I'm not willing to agree to abide by native american law in a firearm transaction...

I don't want to deal with "Indian givers"!

Looks like it to me. You could always email them and see what kind of response you get. Really if I am trying to sell something I give a much better description than one line.

Bumping back up due to another example of an Armslist scam: ARMSLIST - For Sale: NOVESKE INFIDEL GEN III FDE + Extras! If you click listing by this user tab, you will see he is running another rifle in another state:
ARMSLIST - For Sale: Sig 516 Carbon TS + Extras

Just curious.
What flags this ad as a possible scam in your eyes?

The fact it says New York and Indianapolis and the price, that is pretty cheap for one of those. That is more like a $4000 dollar rifle.

Plus it's a bolt action per the ad. Never saw a bolt action M-1.
