out of state add posters , are they for real and or safe ???

[alxone]

so i may be new to this c.ar-15.s. forum , but it seems a bit fishy for out of stater's to post the preban ak-47s . am i wrong about this , are they on the level , ect ??? just wondering if anybody knows what the deal is with theses guys , cause i would think that you could sell an ak dam near anywhere , why out source to colorado ??? like i said it seems fishy and i was just wondering

thanks

Gotta agree with you there, seems shady. Rules are a little different when you sell across state lines as well.

[Elhuero]

if you go through an FFL it's perfectly legal.

[Bowtie]

Doesn't seem worth the trouble with shipping, securing payment, and dealing with a FFL. You can find pretty good deals locally.

You know I almost posted in regards to this a while back but bit my tongue (keyboard).
This is COLORADO AR15.com, not AR15.com.
Note the big key word: COLORADO
I feel that sales should be reserved for in state sales. If you want something that is not found here or want to sell it nationwide go to THAT other site.
Otherwise what is the point of COLORADO AR15?
I really like the fact that this is a local site where the members are supporting fellow COAR members and Industry Partners, we can get to know who we are dealing with and develop a repoir with them and discuss local issues.
I am all for keeping this a local, in state forum, at least when it comes to the sales end of things.




That's all I have to say about that.......

I disagree that sales should be colorado only.

rondog said it well

and besides... some (like me) have been banned from that "other" site by racist, power tripping shithead mods.

This is what I was going to say but didn't want to jump the shark.

I look at out of state firearms sales with a little skepticism. Why can't you sell it locally?

Let's keep it friendly guys....by excluding everyone else!

I don't have a problem with out of state folk selling here (as long as its not dealers taking advantage of the free ads or BATFE trying to trick people into buying/selling across state lines without going through an FFL).

If enough of us here don't want to deal with out of state sellers we'll not buy and they'll go away on their own.

Lets let the free market work.


That said, I would like to see the seller's location in every ad (whether you're out of state or not ... I'm less likely to jump on a deal if I have to drive to Grand Junction to do the deal than if they're up in Parker, for example).



As for the example given by the OP, that's a ChiCom AK-47 ... because of import restrictions there aren't a lot of them in the US so they are worth a lot more than your average AK to collectors (but not really worth more to someone that just wants an AK) so finding a buyer for a premium priced AK that is really only premium priced because of vagaries of the market is going to be difficult ... wouldn't surprise me to see them signing up to every shooters forum they can find and still not finding a buyer.
