...Do your research. Ask questions, even if you know the answer. It's important to get a feel for the seller. Does he answer at all??? Is he informed on the item??? Will he provide additional pics??? Is he an arrogant know-it-all??? Will he post corrections or additions to the description??? Is he friendly??? Are his pics clear and viewable??? Will he stop what he is doing and go look in the safe and answer your questions??? (Brad Simpson & his associates will!)

There's a bunch of flakes on GB, some are mentioned on this forum. One of the most frustrating is Gander Mountain, as their individual stores advertise & sell with conflicting sales conditions.

I always pay by USPS Money Order with the accompanying FFL, as the Postal Inspectors seem to like mail fraud investigations. There are stories here on that too.
