Beware of Armslist.com
Posted: Wed May 06, 2015 9:43 am
I have bought a gun there but there are as many scams as there are real things on that website. I knew this was a scam after the first email and assumed it would be after seeing the price on the ad. I tried to get as much info as he would give me but all he would give me was his paypal. I spoke with the actual owner of the gun who lives in Michigan not MS. He is currently selling the gun on gunbroker for 3999.00. THe armslist guy stole his description and pics from gunbroker.
First tip off is he was asking $1350 for a $3000 gun. To good to be true
Here is the email thread I had with him.

I spoke with a nice gentleman in Michigan that is the owner of a K32 with the serial number on the gun that you are selling.
Just wanted you to know that there is a special corner in hell for people that try to steal others hard earned money. The fact that you would bring a sick child into the conversation is quite sickening.

My ffl needs your address so he can mail his information. He also advised me to send payment by money order with the paperwork. He also needs a phone number and your ffl information.

This is why I thought there was a crack in the stock... You can see what looks like a repaired crack running from the safety to the trigger. May just be the light.

If you would ship it to the ffl for me to look at before payment. It looks like the stock is cracked and I will not purchase without seeing first. I assume that she is not having surgery in Greenville. If you get near Jackson let me know.

I am pretty certain that this has to be a scam but we will see what he says to meeting face to face with the gun.
