Hey all- I have done some looking/searching through the forums to try and find some good practices when buying online privately.
Scenario- I found a hard to find gun on armslist, but it is out of state and too far to drive. I know the seller will have to ship to an FFL for the transaction. My hangup on the deal is, I don't know this person and it makes me hesitant to send $1,000+ with no guarantee he will send the gun.
So, is there an option that I could send the money to an FFL on his side and they ship to my FFL to guarantee that the gun will be sent? This is for a long gun FYI. Or is there some other avenue to relieve my anxiety on the deal? Or should I just pass on it and wait for one to show up local?
Thanks in advance,
Brett
