[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 2724922, member: 13337"] That seems to be a fairly common attitude,,, So we will never be able to do a deal. I absolutely do not care if anyone thinks it's insulting,,, In fact, in this matter I could not possibly care less. My wanting to see some picture ID is a prophylactic measure,,, And I tell people before we meet that I'll want to see it. My gripe is that knowing that requirement,,, They still schedule a meet and try to renege on their promise. And yes, I've walked away from the cold green cash. I refuse to take the risk of selling to an iffy person,,, The consequences are just too dire for me to take any risks. I tried to sell an old used car to a man two years ago,,, He brought me the $400.00 in cash,,, I had asked for a money order. I also asked him to sign a bill of sale,,, When he refused (and I had informed him of this) I called the deal off. My pop sold a truck a few years back by taking the cash and signing the title,,, Years later he was hit with close to $500 in parking tickets and a tow bill,,, Because the buyer never took the title to the tag agency for transfer. If Pop would have had a bill of sale with signature,,, That would have convinced the powers-that-were he wasn't the owner any more. Guns are a different thing altogether,,, But the same basic principle applies to the sale. I want something to ensure I can prove when I gave up ownership of the gun and to who. So if we can't ever do business,,, That's okay because there I someone else I can deal with. Aarond . [/QUOTE]
