I mailed a $3800 moneyorder for a gun before and  it finally took me to call the police  dept he worked for to get him to ship the rifle.

He wasn't scamming me he was just lazy and thought it was no big deal , it was only a month

There's a gun show in Belton this coming weekend. If he is having trouble with finding a ffl dealer to ship he might find one there or meet a fellow arf member to confirm the guns excissance. I will probably be there Sat. morning early if that helps.

I saw one of my own guns for sale on Armslist.

Some scammer lifted one of the pictures of my P220 Super Match from the Internet, reproduced it on Armslist, and offered it up as a gun for sale.

Are you aware that there are people in this world that have a severe medical condition which causes them to not be able to ship right away? My mother for instance is one of those people. She is a truck driver that has bad knees and a bad back from driving the truck but you probably do not care about that case either. Oh well I am not one of those people I am 6'4" 245lbs and I exercise every day. I would love to see you say something like to my mother in front of me. Probably never happen though you are probably just an internet tough guy. I doubt very seriously you would say that to someones face. Just my thought.What do you think. Oh I am sorry you probably do not have a brain. I on the other hand will be happy to buy you a plane ticket to come here and see if you have the nerve to say that to someone I know.

Next time you want to buy off armslist from another state, make the seller drop it off at the gun shop YOU choose beforehand in THEIR area.  That way, the gun shop can verify it’s what the seller says it is and can take it in on your behalf and then you can pay

Easy stuff.

He was supposed to have shipped on Monday and it is now early Wednesday morning. While the lack of communication is not a good sign, it may still work out. You did your due diligence in vetting the seller. It is hard to believe he set up all that credibility for one $1,700 scam.

I hope it all works out for you.

This. I'm not saying one way or another whether he's a scammer, but there's a lot of things that you've said which don't seem to be a setup. But, I could be wrong.

I have screenshots, and I'm forwarding them to local authorities. I'm sure they won't find it so funny.

Little bitch?

What didst thou just spake of me, thou dog? Know this, knave, I am the best sword in the fleets of Sir Francis Drake, and I hath partaken in numerous raids ‘pon the ports of Spain and hath carried off over three hundred Doubloons! I am trained in musket warfare and am the best shot in the militias of Her Majesty! Thou art nothing to me but another target. I shalt strike thee down with all the furies of the Heavens above and Hells below, of a sort not yet seen on this Earth. Thou thinkest that ye can slander me, naught consequence? Thou art mistaken. For as we speak, I am contacting my spies and friends cross’t the breadth of old England to locate thou, so thou best prepare for mine storm, ye cowardly poltroon. A divine storm that shalt wipe out ye pathetic existence. Thou art but food for mine dogs, for I canst be anwhere at any time, and I canst kill thou in over seven hundred ways with naught but mine sword and buckler. Nay, not only am I extensively trained in the arts of unarmed combat, but I hath also access to the entire arsenals of Her Majesty’s militias. I shalt use it to its full extent to wipe thine miserable body of the face of Our Lord’s Earth, ye dog. Alas, if only thou had knownst what unholy retribution thine libels were about to bring down on thee, mayhap thou wouldst have kept silent. But thou did not, and now thou shalt pay the price, ye Godforsaken dogsbody. I shalt shit fury down from the Heavens ‘pon thou, and thou shalt drown in it. Confess, and prepare to meet thine maker, sirrah.

Maybe he's waiting until the MO clears? I mean, you can call up USPS and certify the MO is legitimate IIRC but sometimes people wait to see if a stop payment is made....

I will not even look at that fucking place.

Actually, from someone who does a lot of business on eBay and other places (including with cryptocurrency--yeah, fraud galore), you did fine. Sometimes you do your due diligence and you still get fucked.

That said, see if you can find anything about him on White Pages. You can pay 5$ for a pretty thorough report with a little bit of information. You can also sometimes use IP address (if he was stupid) to get a general location as well as phone number area code. All the info you can get will be valuable.

Best of luck to you.

Edit: after reading through the thread, yeah there's no need to panic; dude's probably just lazy and/or something's come up (yes...I've been that seller on very rare occasions and with good cause).

I'm with this. If it was me I would still be worried shitless, but I think its too early to say it was for sure a scam. He could just be a slow shipping asshole that doesnt feel he has a duty to keep you reasonably updated.

Anyways maybe send him another email or whatever you've been using, that you are getting worried and will get his P.D. involved if he doesn't respond/ship by tomorrow.

You can take a MO to a post office and walk out with cash so there shouldn't be a need to wait for it to "clear".
