I have to agree with Lugerdoc. I would not interfere with ongoing verbal negotiations. But once the negotiations appear to be over, then anything goes. I think that the originator of this post handled it good by quietly slipping a piece of paper to the seller. He did not want to irritate the pawnshop guy because he might want to deal with the pawnshop sometime else.
But Jamese's dealing with a pawn shop was crap. The sale was made and the dealer had no right, after Jamese agreed to purchase the gun, to take the purchase back. What the pawnshop guy was sickening. A lesson learned.
I often talk to Doug Smiths crew of FGS. Good bunch of guys. And it often occurs that someone tries to sell FGS a gun but FGS does not want it. I wait until FGS turns down the gun and the offer is over. Then I ask the seller to see his gun. The FGS group has never gotten mad at me.
