Where do you draw the line and tell a buyer "you're on your own" after the sale?

[ButteFlyFisher]

I will ALWAYS take it off-site. And I will ALWAYS speak with someone on the phone. And I will ALWAYS know their real name. Without ALL those details, there is no reason to trust someone. If someone feels the need to conceal ANY of these details, they are not trustworthy.

Seriously. Imagine the local cops having the following discussion:

Five-O: In your own words, tell us what happened.

Victim: It all happened so fast!

Five-O: It's ok. Take your time.

Victim: Well I met this guy online. His name is Glockelmator. He seemed really nice. He promised to sell me an off-roster High Point pistol for a hundred bucks, if I would meet him in the Taco Bell parking lot at 10:00 p.m. because that's when his shift was over.

Five-O: And what happened when you got there.

Victim: He wasn't nice at all! He smelled like cheesy beef burritos and called me really mean names! And then he pointed the High Point at me!

Five-O: Gross! I can't believe people eat that crap. At least you were safe because High Points usually jam.

Victim: And then I wet my pants. He took my hundred dollar bill and he vanished in the air.

Five-O: Yeah, you'd better change clothes before you get a rash. Next time don't be a dumbass.

we found the “20%” guy

My buddies shadow system till this day just wont cycle correctly

I’ve owned x3 Shadow Systems pistol. The first two needed exactly a twenty round break in then ran fine, my third, which I just sold was solid from first round to its last.

Wanting to immediately talk offsite is a red flag

Interesting, I actually feel like it's a red flag to keep talking on here. I don't want to literally talk on the phone but sending pictures, answering questions and then meeting up is better by text then on here. I was meeting a guy at an FFL once and he kept ignoring when I sent my phone number, but he was like telling me he was late on the site and I wasn't seeing it because I wasn't on here I was driving.
