If the original poster was legitimately concerned he should have sought out legal counsel, to post a question about a topic that he believed to be a possible issue in his future would be absurdly stupid, for multiple reasons. The least of which being if there ever was a legal issue, the post can/will be brought forward as evidence that he possibly knew the sale was incorrect.
BUT!!!!! He did the deal legally and went through a FFL dealer as the new laws require.
Therefore, the logical conclusion is that he either was asking because he was curious about people's feelings towards individuals who do multiple "deals" per day, or it's a troll post.

Well, there is the possibility that the "multiple deals" did not occur on the same day as the feedback was posted. Some folks do not make an immediate feedback post, maybe slips their mind for a day or two.

I would like some opinions on the following: I sold a Sig p238 to someone the other day. When I went to leave good feedback, I noticed that this individual is getting feedback almost every day and sometimes twice per day. He struck me as slightly fast talking during our deal. I do not want to infringe on someone's rights, but do I have any responsibility to report this or look into it further. We did the deal at an FFL. I do not see him selling many guns. He has a right to hoard guns if he wants to and passes background checks. The whole situation just has left me unsettled. Thanks for your opinion. -Dave Has anyone actually read my initial post? I asked for opinions. The opinions that I requested have reassured me that the frequent activity of the member in question is not viewed by anyone else as a problem. However, these opinions have generally been presented in a very accusatory and negative way instead of simply stating one's opinion and assisting me with a situation in which I felt a little uncomfortable. I just do not understand the hate. Peace out. -DAR Lol

To me, your original post sounded a little like you wanted to add your own infringments to a buyer operating well within the law.
We are already over-burdened with infringements. We have had many posts on here by people that have expressed a "desire" to perform background checks and to complete paperwork on private sales...
So we are gun shy, so to speak.
Don't take it personal.
Just my opinion.

Just my opinion. Nice pun. I did not want to infringe, but the interaction was different enough from previous guntrader interactions for me to ask the community for some reassurance. Unfortunately, I think that folks read what they want to read between the lines. The nastiness of people is to be expected in today's American. I will now take this in a different direction. Take the dude who just wrote "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia." I bet if we were face to face that we could just sit down and have a reasonable conversation. We might be best shooting buddies. I do not think that he would denegrate me or belittle my concern. I certainly do not think that he would sarcastically say, "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia" if we were just chatting. However, sitting behind the computer screen emboldens people and for some reason on this site and others the comments go negative instead of positive. As Kurt Vonnegut said in Slaughterhouse Five, "So it goes." If I'm ever in Staunton I'll send you a PM to meet up with you. To tell you the exact same things I said previously. ......the unfortunate part is, I don't know where Staunton is, nor do I know why I'd be out there. Having said all of that, you asked for OPINIONS. When you didn't like them and you didn't get the reassurance you sought out, you got all in your feelings or whatever and took it personally. Which is dumb, because you asked for OPINIONS. But hey, dingleberries gonna dingle...... EDIT: I now know where Staunton is haha. If I'm ever in the area I'll give ya a call

Once again, as stated in a reply, I did get the opinions I wanted and I was reassured. I just had to sift through nasty people spouting derogatory terms in order to get to these opinions. Why call me a dingle berry you douche-tard? Wow, that feels really good. I just insulted someone on the internet for no reason. I feel powerful. No one can touch me behind my computer screen. I am now a convert. I will use this new-found internet power to feel better about myself for I am the Czar of my internet world. What a bunch of idiots...and to define that, I mean you likely have IQs under 70. True mentally challenged individuals. Hehehehehe, that gave me a chuckle.

Meanwhile, I’m over here with my popcorn waiting for a response to my question... you know... to figure out if you’re a, “Truly mentally challenged individual.” My advice is to toughen up. This is the internet. You asked a question and you received some genuine feedback. Don’t get butthurt so easily.

Very cordial response, sir. Shame on me, but in my defense, I did not see the feedback before returning home after the sale. I agree that I made an error in judgment about this situation, but I was genuinely concerned and made an inquisition. No harm has come to the member who purchased the firearm. In fact, I did not even state his username in my original post. I agree with you that it would have been terrible if a genuine firearms enthusiast was flagged by law enforcement for this situation. In the future, I will be vigilant in studying who I sell to so that I am comfortable. I think that I was more uncomfortable with my actions than with the buyers actions. Have a great day. this explanation made things worse. Now I want to know the race of the buyer. It is their America and their 2A too VS. It is his America and his 2A too. Same statement but one has a holier than thou undertone in it. But I am sure you are a proud southern democrat or in a carpet business.

You have done absolutely nothing wrong. The current environment has people becoming unsettled over completely lawful activities. For all you know his money is coming from Bloomberg and he is buying up all the guns to melt down and turn into plowshares. Stupid thing to do, but lawful.

Wscrst...
The very first words you typed was "Suspicious" (Suspicious VA guntrader activity).
This word was alarming too many in the community... rightfully so.
I have now bothered to read all of the discourse that followed. The discourse is valid and Boots was even quite eloquent (and sincerely impressed no jab intended).
Wscrst... you saw something and you said something and the community responded. You may have gotten shoved around a tiny bit in the community. So be it.
I ran a water line to my barn once. My neighbor contacted the county. I had not bothered to pull a permit. I had put the water line in at 20 inches, but code called for 24 inches.
I had to redo the entire job and pay a fine because my neighbor saw something and said something.
It was my water line to feed my horses from a frost-free yard hydrant.
My neighbor claimed he saw something "Suspicious".

OP, you didn’t do yourself any favors by deleting your post! Apparently, you didn’t notice almost all your post were quoted when folks replied.

It's his way of hanging his head in shame/tucking tail when he sees something he didn't like. Says enough about him
