I suggest CAUTION if choosing to deal with Shooterguy.
If purchasing or selling a firearm, I highly suggest passing on doing business with Shooterguy.
My experience is that his WORD is not trustworthy and his methods are shady.
Why:
We made an agreement for me to purchase a handgun from Shooterguy that he posted.
He backed out after making arrangement with me to meet up at FFL.
He said his son wanted the handgun.
Ok, I get it, pass it along to your son.
Then he contacted me again a couple days later saying that he would sell me the gun.
While confirming arrangements with him to meet up at the FFL,
He backed out again.
He would not agree to be paid inside the FFL,
He required to be paid in cash in the parking lot of the FFL.
I required to pay him inside the business, in cash.
So he said the deal was cancelled.
The second time he broke his word to me, on the same purchase.
Demanding to be paid in cash, in the parking lot, for a handgun was a red flag to me.
I requested that he wait inside the FFL w me for the Background check to process, I have cc permit.
He refused to wait.
That was another potential red flag for me.
I would have agreed re him not waiting for BG check, if he had agreed to be paid inside the FFL.
But, Shooterguy insisted to be paid in the parking lot, in cash only.
I would not budge off of him receiving payment inside the business out of mutual respect and safety consideration.
He has other comment posted in his profile that he waited for transfer to process.
I don't get his negative, insistant attitude taken with me.
I suggest CAUTION if choosing to deal with Shooterguy, he may be unstable.
Maybe he was just in a pissed off mind set or "on the rag",
but he is not trustworthy based on my experience attempting to do business with him.
I just wanted to share a word of caution with other members that deserve to know.
First negative attitude and experience I have encountered with other VA Gun Trader members.
Frankly, I was surprised.
