Wow, I wish I would have found this thread a while back, maybe I could have put my $.02 in the discussion.... All I've got to say is that it is a sad day when people will have a copy of your current drivers liscense with current address on it and they still think they are going to get screwed... Or how about me telling paypal that the money was used to buy a gun just to screw the guy? Why the hell would anyone do that... If I did that, not only would my paypal account be locked also, but I'd be out a gun and the money.... And Purple88yj is right, theres no way I'd ship the gun anywhere without getting paid first, thats the big reason I didn't want to use gearpay... All you'd have to do is say you never got the gun, then I'd be out the money and you'd have the gun... Not to mention that I'd have to pay shipping out of pocket and I'm very limited on money right now... I'm sorry you felt this was an "iffy sale"... and it aggrevates me a little bit to think that someone out there thinks I'm just going to try to screw them over... Ok enough ranting, for those who didn't figure it out, I'm "the guy" with the "iffy sale".... though I think a few of you may know me from some of the jeep sites.

Like I said I'm sorry, I've been around ebay and gunbroker for quite awhile, and I've never been screwed, but have come very close a few times, and have seen friends and family get screwed and I just have to trust my instinct and be careful.

I understand not shipping the gun without money, but gearpay can act as an escrow service. If you have a confirmation slip that the package got here, you get the money. Escrow services prevent both parties from getting the short end of the stick, not just the buyer.

Its not that I think you're out specifically to screw me, I just think anybody potentially could, certian factors simply make that a lot less likely, a lot of factors you can't claim such as being a senior forum member or going through an auction site.

And sorry about having to back out of the deal, but I trust my local gunsmith, he's never lead me wrong about a gun from personal bias; he's just given me objective facts from his experience about them and he told me the bushy bullpup's are junk. I'm going to take that 600 and put it towards and FN-2000 instead. If I'm hellbent on getting a bullpup, I'm at least going to get one that's reliable.

I don't want any guns that aren't, not even for range use.
