Replacement
It's really easy to be the tough guy here. It's a whole different thing when the gun your selling is $8000.00 and you have given the buyer an inspection period. I try and treat everyone I do any dealings with the same. I try and show friendship, respect and lend a helping hand if needed. I helped resolve this problem and we didn't have to get any F**'in lawyers involved. The transaction was $8000.00 so small claims court wasn't an option. I'm in Colorado the buyer,gun, & FFL holder are in Georgia. So lawyering up would be a serious & expensive PITA. Yea I suppose I could have been an A**hole and said, I've got the money and you need to figure out how to get the gun from the dealer, but that's not how I was raised.
The point of telling my story was. Do yourself a favor and call the FFL your about to ship a gun to and make sure he's good with receiving a gun from a private individual. A simple phone call will save you a bucket load of hassles!! I do this because as I alluded to before, some FFL's won't ask a customer what he wants to do an FFL transfer on or who will be shipping it. After the fact is not the time to be asking questions as I found out.
