As you rightly say, wise to be cautious with that kind of money at stake.

There's a simple solution gentleman.

Ask for a photo of the gun and a scratch sheet of paper with what ever you wish written on it. I always ask that my name be written of the paper. Works ever time.

You get someone good enough with a computer theres ways around that also, don't ask me how cause I don't know how. But I do have a friend who knows how to do all that stuff.

I seriously doubt the idiots scamming have the skills to pull it off. One computer whiz tried (pre-planned) and failed. Lighting and shadows were off.

All I can say is I have used my method for years and it's worked every time.

I knew this guy was a scammer from the get-go. First clue was the broken English. Second clue was the price; $600 for the 4 ss. I kept playing along just to see how far he'd take it. Couldn't stop laughing at this last photo...

@o7shelby Ask him to buy a local newspaper from today or tomorrow and add that to the photo... and that you want to see the newspaper's issue date and location !

@airmojo That's another excellent idea.

Bet it will also be floating in mid-air like the paper with my name.

This person has been a member for 1.5 to 2 years. No posts, reply anything. Contacted them by text and got all sorts of bs. I would stay away from this one also.

Seems the classifieds here are nothing but people trying to scam someone.. only ones I trust are people I actually know or remember from the Yellow forum or who Ive seen on here a lot.

AGC is a good site for trusted sellers. Unfortunately it too is a magnet for scammers. Most for me come from there.

Can you sell airguns on Craigslist... I would only do local pickups only... I get alerts from them occasionally, but didn't think they were allowed.

I would rather meet people live, and show them what I know about the airgun.
