🛑 PLEASE READ THIS TO AVOID BEING SCAMMED 🛑

  • Be very wary of people who contact you privately to offer an item for sale.  Every single time someone has been scammed via a Want To Buy ad on TGO, the scammer has done it privately.  Force them out into the open so that the other members and moderators can help make sure they pass the sniff test.
     
  • Use the Buyer/Seller Feedback feature to research who you are dealing with.  Negative feedback should inspire caution.  Come back and leave feedback for each other after the transaction is complete.  Your experience will help others.
     
  • NEVER, EVER agree to use an electronic form of payment to buy or sell a gun!!  None of them, that we are aware of, will protect you against fraud in a firearms transaction.  They all have terms of service FORBIDDING the use of their services to buy/sell guns.  DON'T DO IT.

 

The complete Trading Post Rules and also some more helpful suggestions can be found by clicking this link.  Everyone should read them at least once!

To Mods:  Please take these automatic warning messages down.  This seller has 38 positive accolades, and these warnings are distracting and probably hurting our collective commerce, especially when they are the FIRST thing everyone sees when we see a post of something for sale.  You're overdoing it.  I sent a message to Todd suggesting that the warning should appear at the sign-in level.  We don't need to be beaten up at every level downstream.   Q

It is meant to protect you, the seller, from being too nice and too trusting.  It's a necessary annoyance and has decreased the reports of people being scammed by fraudulent buyers to ZERO in the past 90 or so days.

Prior to this being implemented we had a rash of TGO members being scammed out of hundreds of dollars by fraudulent buyers.  I think the annoyance is worth it.
