This can EASILY be faked by photoshop. I posted an example of this on Sturm a year or so ago. The best way (IMO) is to do a video chat and see the gun "live"

Here's the link: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1038219184 She's asking to be paid via personal check, certified check, or money order. The more I look at the listing, the more red flags that I see, but honestly wasn't expecting to have the winning bid in the first place when I bid lol We'll see. Worst that happens is that I cancel the order.

Yes, you didn't ask for anything out of the ordinary, perfectly appropriate to see those things. It really sounds like a scam to me simply due to the price, but who knows? Anyway, as has been stated, give it a week or so and them let GB know. I'm betting you never hear from her again.

What you asked for is reasonable and most dealers wouldn’t squawk at that request. I would give them a week to comply. Notify both the seller and GB that you’re canceling the sale, since they can’t provide the necessary documents to move forward. And move on and don’t sweat it. Good on you for doing you due diligence. Smells like a scam and there is plenty of that going around. Run away. My 2 cents. YMMV.

Was this a vendor with some history on Gunbroker? If no significant sales history, some other form of personal references would be appropriate. Otherwise what you asked for is certainly reasonable. If you wanted other "proof", you could always send a FOIA request to the BATFE on that serial number to see who really owns it, or if it even registered. That takes a lot of time though. I'd give the vendor a week to send the info electronically and if no action on their part is taken, contact Gunbroker to report this as a problem vendor. When I sell, I file e-forms and I don't even accept payment until the e-form is approved, but I don't ship until I receive full payment. The buyer can check e-form transfer approval on their e-form site independently so there's virtually no way to defraud on either side. Some owners don't know how to use the e-file system, aren't SOT holders, etc. Working deals with those vendor/owners is just riskier without bonafides of some sort.

Just logged in to see if it’s working and it is. Love how they are worried about filing form 2’s asap but they shut down the site with no warning for a week. “I’m from the Gov’t and I’m here to help”

I would also consider Brad @ https://bahnhofmachine.com , he does amazing work , very reliable, he learned or honed his skills under Mike @TSC . also Got Uzi in OH does some amazing work .
