The subject gun: AA Item #9630069

Seller: Supposed to be a grandson of someone who's dumping inherited property, relatively cheap. God knows.

Buyer: me

This seller is weird. He directed me to pay to a person addressed in Detriot, MI, which he claimed being his wife. Yahoo Map shows the address being a small business building. His phone area code 651 indicates St Paul, MN, and no one answers the phone. A few emails back and forth, he claimed he would be out of town so better receive $$ ASAP blah-blah -- all he cared was money, never cared about FFL. Intelius phone & name lookup shows the name for that phone does not match his AA registered name.

And, this guy simply could not call me because he's still working at midnight

"Can we discuss the deal via email?" So, he's a little bit shy. I did meet another guy calling me asking refund for a fake check back a few years ago.

The smell is not very good, matching Internet fraud stereotype. Will drop the deal.
