Re: Craigslist gun buy

Sold numerous guns on CL; usually advertise the sale as "gun case for Glock 19 9mm, e-mail with questions" for instance. I'd say 95% of the e-mails are inquiring if I still had what came in the case. All the sales have always taken place in either a police station or fire station parking lot, cleared ahead of time with the buyer, as well as requiring a copy of DL/CHL for my records. CL buyers seem to be a little more willing to pay asking price vs. other sites, whether its because they're not hardcore "gun guys" or otherwise I'm not sure. Although, you still get the "hey I know you're asking $450, but best I can do is $200" e-mail occasionally.

As far as variables, yes there are more than say selling to a member of this or other gun forum, but not so much so that I've ever questioned it. Both CL and gun forums allow both sides a level of anonymity so I tend to lump them into the same group.
