    Does anybody know this guy? Trying to do a deal with this guy and give him the benefit of the doubt but its kind of crazy! Don't want to throw him under the bus yet but here's whats gone down.
    !. Profile says he's in Niceville, Texted him, sends me a e-mail under a different name, says its his sales guy, not the same name on his GCGF profile, says hes in north US, not Niceville, we agree on a price and thats when I find out he's not in florida, wants me to send him $50 for shipping and insurance. I say no , thought you were in Niceville? Says he'll be in town in 2 weeks. I said great , text me and I'll come get gun FTF. Then he tells me gun is in Arizona and shipping is anywhere from $200-$325. Send him $100 now and can pay him balance when he gets here.and I come up with shipping company. Sent me some E-bay references but I don't know how to verify if its even him. Am I being paranoid? Does anybody know this guy? Like I said i'm not throwing him under the bus yet but it does run kinda weird, I never send money , and don't like paypal.

    I know but he's a new member and I don't want to " Be that guy". Just thought somebody might know him here? I already gave up on deal but he keeps coming up with semi-plausible answers, if its a scam its pretty detailed with websites and stuff. Still not sending $$.

    He responded to my WTB mags post and said he had some. When I ask how much he gave me a price $10.00 higher than I can get them online. I told him I was good for now.

    Tell him we would ALL like to meet him in the clay pit in Fort Walton.
    Or just block his number.

    You're not being "that guy" with that many red flags. Trust your gut. Not worth the risk.

    Tell him when he gets into Niceville to meet you at the police dept. parking lot with the item. Doubt you'll ever here from him again.

    He was posting from Chicago and attempting to make shady gun deals. He's history.

    No worries, thanks to the OP for posting it. If anyone has suspicions like that feel free to post them or get a hold of one of us so we can check it out.
