I put my L2 up on a local site and still got text from out of state numbers. It's a lot of money to lose. a

Both ads sold. Hope people got good deals and not taken. A brk ghost for 1200 and 2 helix scopes for 400 seemed too cheap to me.

If someone sends you a USPS MO through the mail and it bounces, they can be prosecuted for mail fraud.

When my son played professional paintball, the person with the lowest amount of feedback ships first. I would make an exception for a long time member or someone that I see engaging in conversations and seems legit.

I guess some people are just to paranoid to put the state they live in here . i have seen a few classifieds i would be interested in but no state or city , so i passed .

But if a person is perceived to be dishonest because a State is not listed, then it can also be said that they may not actually live in a State that they list, if they are dishonest.

There are only two forums that I will do business on. One for powder burners, because it is mostly local, and this one for air. I have yet to get burned, and I have been fortunate to have members take a chance with me when new with no feedback. My wife hates you all for that, as I now have six pcp’s and two compressors

I do like the idea of having a newbie go first. I would have probably agreed to that when new. PayPal works fine for me but still only protects the buyer.

If somebody has little or no feedback, then I want to know what state they live in, because maybe if they're close enough I can drive there and complete the deal in person. If there's no city or state listed then I don't want to take the risk.

Good idea, leaves more for us poor old timers. Dropped paypal (after using twice) when they closed Marty (froze money and he had too much out) of silverstreaksports a premier Career dealer. They've been bad that long.
U.S.P.S. m/o or cash (check if I know you) is safe even if not convenient for some. Money on hand or not the post office w/out fail can tell you if it is good and your bank will cash them. Naturally cash is cash or you would not see a whiscombe in the U.S. (yup you had to mail John green backs and if he was still in bussiness that would still be just fine).
Mainly Phone (!) call, & I like folks who are over 10 years in, like folks with the same email all those same years (they pop up easy on google for years gone by). Brad Troyer I've no problem sending anything to, same with Davis of ARS and just any ole airgunner who has been around 10+ w/out complaint. "I" damn sure would not use pay-pal being against airguns for 20 years & such.
Yes if it say's postal m/o only "I" want 1st crack at it!
Now any "airgun type" who does not want to or is unable to TALK airguns as in on the phone, nope, not buying or selling to one period, real airgun folks WILL talk airgun. Likely until the wife say's "is that an airgunner" at least. People who remember when the airgunclassifieds were a postal mailing list are the very best, but we are dwindling. P.O. m/o only thank you.

That changed for me on my 16 y Birthday, so i went from thinking i had 30 friends to 0, and since then +40 years ago, well i have only managed to find one friend.
I do not buy used stuff, and generally i do not sell stuff, i once sold a Amiga 500 and recently i sold my Vulcan 3 air rifle.
Okay also sold a car once but the price was get it away from my driveway, and then i also sold that house we lived in back then.

USPS Money orders can be verified before cashing. Big difference!! Are you calling it in before cashing and shipping the item?
For those who received counterfeit checks and MOs, it’s both mail fraud and possibly more. You might not get much support out of law enforcement but it is definitely a federal crime.
Watch for members who have no history or took a long hiatus and suddenly are back doing transactions. Can be hacked or scammer accounts.
Of course the in person phone call is invaluable. Those aren’t usually faked and you get an excuse to chat airguns for a little while.

There was a guy 1 hr from me that was selling some Mavericks...as soon as he found out I was going to do a F/F that was the end of our discussion of the guns.

Why discreet?
A holster on each hip, ammo belts crisscrossed across the chest and a sawed-off shotgun in hand
Anyone seen the keys to the Humvee?
