I just got an Armslist email from someone asking to buy my AK, he first asked if I will trade it for ruby and gems. I said no, then he asked if I will take a cheapy 22lr as trade, and he will have to let me and his mom's boyfriend to fill the paperwork at a FFL because he is 16 years old! I said HELL NO! He then start bitching about me been an ass, and claim he has airsoft AKs that worth much more than mine, so why buy from me.

I remembered why I generally stay off Armslist now.......

Probably one of his video game characters has them.

Is Norman in line to inherit a motel?

Tell that to the people selling themselves for WoW gold.

Not sure about the real estate angle. His mom's kind of weird

Pretty sure that kid contacted me when I was selling my '74 last year. I passed, telling him that I don't have the knowledge or the time to determine a fair trade value.

This sounds just stupid enough to be a Bloomberg sting...

I would have at least asked him to send me pictures of the rubies and gems.

Oh, and a picture of his mom. If she's hot.

Yup, plus I would've told him I forwarded his email to ATF over his attempted straw purchase.

Reminds me of once I was talking to someone on Craigslist about trading a German kitchen knife set for a hunting knife I had. After a exchange of poor grammar, no car, meet me down the street from my house I put 2&2 together and figured he was a kid trying to trade his parents knife set.
