VAGT Friends,

I noticed three new listings in the past 24 hours. Asking price is way below market value. All 3 sellers have only one post and zero feedback.

I didn't think it fair to copy and paste the links here but if the mods allow it I will be happy to do it.

My fear is that it is either scammers or someone trying to bait someone into doing an under the table transaction. I hope I am wrong. I would hate to see the sight being actively targeted for either purpose.

Regards, Stonewall 06

Thank you. I notice many new posters with registration way earlier this year but only now start listing items for sale. It must be Phase II of Agenda 21’s chapter 666.

I don't think you need to look any further.

Was one of the usernames, "blackface"?

No Sir but I probably missed a few. I stopped making note of them after 3 or so. Oddly enough, most joined the site immediately before posting in the for sale forum but there was also one that joined in April of 2019. I can PM links if you would like, just message me in case I forget to check this post.

Make deal with them , arrange for FFL . If they flake out or get wishy washy notify moderators and send them all the information you have so they can be formally weeded out ...

I'm with w.parker on this. Offer to meet at the ffl. If he wants to meet behind a bar somewhere you can either decline or work it out yourself. It will be either a sting or criminal.

I mostly just wanted to warn the board members. I'm not interested in any of the guns listed.

The guy was a soldier that just transferred to fort Lee. I took him up on that sweet deal.

how dare a soldier not familiar with all of our draconian laws. Lock him up, throw away the keys, and reward the snitch crew.

No snitch crew ??? Its a very good point that we need to be careful , the MAJORITY of the population does not particularly care for firearms so your sarcasm is weak ."They " will use any and every opportunity to exploit gun owners as reckless and a danger to society . I am glad that a good deal was made , that's awesome ! But don't let your guard down , not for one second ....
