GB - Seller asking too many questions?

I don't know. For a free carbine, I probably would. My data is everywhere anyway.

 

Date of birth? Wouldn't be concerned about that. Drivers license? That's a little strange.

 

Whoops! Thought you meant you won it in a raffle or drawing! I'd call them, just to see if Rastus answers the phone.

 

No reason to give them that info. Ive never had anyone ask for that. They arent running the NICS, your FFL is.

 

I don't know, I have'nt ever bought anything on gb. Seems kinda fishy to me tho.

 

Is it a requirement in his state? I can't imagine it is, but...?

 

THEY may be first time sellers on GB......let your FFL handle it.

 

even if that was a requirement in the seller's state he is not selling the gun to you really. He is transferring it to a FFL local to you. Even though the GB FFL gets the money, your local FFL is who you answer to.

I would not give the info. Walk away first

 

Had a used one here: (actually checked it myself, looked brand new, but had an added flash suppressor that was used)

terrehauteguns.com

It's gone, but they do get some good deals thru there!
It's where I buy ALL my HPs! $10 FFL Fees, Also!

 

I have bought 2 guns from GB and all I was asked was how it was going to be paid for and my FFl's info

 

Same here on my single GB purchase.

 

I would have just sent him a polite email saying that information is not required and you will provide that to your FFL when getting your NICS check. Nothing to cancel the sale over unless he said it was required or no sale.

 

I'd check the State Law of that pawn shop, and if it is required, just go ahead and do it. $210 is a great deal, (if all fees add up favorably) and the date of birth is just so they can cross reference against your license. It may be a state law for them to keep those records of ALL SALES, internet or otherwise.

Might be fine Mel, just check it out, and if it was posted on there before, you are kind of on the hook. But a bad GB rating is no big deal, I'm sure

 

Yeah I'd say they're only concern is that it's being shipped to an FFL. Like SWAGA said this might be their first time selling on GB or maybe they need that information for sales in-state and assume they need it even though it's through another FFL. But I'd be asking a few questions.

I know my FFL requires a photo ID whenever I've bought from another individual but not another FFL.
