As you know the prices of all things that go bang are up. I found a classified listing from someone who is not a registered user on Armslist offering several firearms for sale. They quoted me what would have been a fair price 2 years ago, so it is a real bargain today - at least $100 off market price. They say they only except money orders - no paypal or checks. Is this deal too good to be true? Should I walk away? Any way you can think of that I could protect myself from just kissing $300 good bye if the rifle doesn't ever get shipped?
