I answered an ad on Armslist several years ago and it was my last.
The seller had two pistols for sale and had a good asking price, but wanted to sell as a package. He said he was selling because he was "facing a felony".
I asked what he meant and he said he had a court date set and he was positive the judge was going to strip him of his gun rights.
I tried to tell him to wait until the court had made a decision, but no, he was going to get rid of the guns one way or another BEFORE the court date.
O.k.
I really didn't want both but bought them because I really wanted one of them.
A couple of months later I sold the one I did not want and recouped some of my outlay.
All is good, for another month or so, when I get a phone call one afternoon from the guy that sold me the guns.
He said the judge had dropped the charges against him so now he wanted to buy HIS guns back, at the same price he sold them to me!
I asked him if he was high on something.
He had never mentioned interest in buying them back at the time of sale, and if he had, I would have walked out the door.
I told him that not only did I not want to sell them back, but I only had one of the two.
He seemed surprised and disappointed that I sold one!
Some people are just nuts.
