3 day inspection/transfer

[Allen Peterson]

I am not a dealer I have a C&R FFL> In The In the past 20 or so years I have bought and sold around 50 shotguns. I carefully describe the gun and welcome anyone to come and shoot the gun. I prefer selling face to face unless I know you.
I will not ship a gun for a 3 say inspection. To many chances of the gun being damaged even though I do an extremely good job of packing. I have never cheated anyone and never will. But if you want one of my guns. Please come and handle it shoot it measure it but once the money changes hands its your gun. If you need 3 days to make up your mind. You don't need the gun.

WOW $100.... That's a bit much. The guy I use, Glenn's Ammo & Reloading, owns a gun and reloading shop and his price is $35 but he charges me $25.

Dean it is what it is. You either agree to pay it or not. I do not harbor any negative feelings toward him. He has a family to feed too.

[Dean Romig]

As does Glenn...

It is a matter of communication between both parties. The seller needs to describe the gun to the best of his ability and detail his understanding of what the 3 day inspection means. The buyer needs detail what he will be inspecting and how much time he needs. Most sellers will agree to an extra day or two if needed if you just ask up front. I am seeing more and more ads that say "as is no return". I think that is because some buyers have abused the inspection period. Both parties must explain what they expect out of the deal before any money changes hands.

Go in a gun shop and buy a brand new gun with the stipulation you can take it home and within three days if you don’t like something about it you can return for full refund . Then think about a three day policy where you cannot fire it but you can return for full refund except the shipping when it’s an online transaction for a previously owned gun . Some of you wanna buy with zero risk for you , why not just ask the seller to give you the gun to get it off his hands

Okay guys try this one on. I bought 2 different guns last week and then went out of state to another state's shoot. When I returned yesterday I found out that there was an attempted unsuccessful delivery on one gun. After repeated attempts to get a hold of the FFL, who has overtime become a friend, I get a text from him that he is in the hospital with respiratory complication due to the dreaded Covid. Additionally, the wife has it too and can't even get out of bed to sign for either of these guns. He has no idea when he's getting out of the hospital and the sellers don't just want to leave this open ended. I can't say that I blame them. The first gun is not too expensive, but todays gun is quite pricey and there's an remote chance, because it's so rare, it could be a forgery, so I need to inspect it. Talk about complicated. Of course both of these guns are already paid for.

Based on the covid part I'd ask the seller/s to have the guns sent to another FFL and with the issue involved I'd expect them to be a might reasonable about any additional freight cost incurred .

A "forgery" misrepresented as an original should override any inspection period I would think.

I would find another local FFL and have the gun rerouted to them. The seller would need to do the rerouting from his end. If the gun is still at the local hub this could happen very quickly I would think.
