Bill of Sale Collectors

[YNOTAZ]

geez you fellas get your panties in a wad

Why not be really safe, just do universal background checks? Pay an extra $15-$50 to an FFL to sell your legal firearm so you can feel good?

Great idea, BUT STUPID.

Of all the things to b**** about!

I don’t buy from anyone who wants a Bill of sale, but I don’t object to a seller asking for one as long as it’s disclosed in the ad. I just skip over the item, even if it’s something I would otherwise buy. Out of curiosity, has anyone ever seen or heard of someone being prosecuted for something done with a gun after they sold it? I never have, personally.

Some of the people that require a bill of sale are the same people that freak out when Polymer80 is forced to hand over sales records. A tad hypocritical.

If you want to require a bill of sale, just get your FFL and sell guns.

Good point...
A bill of sale is not an affirmative defense against prosecution. It means nothing and proves nothing as a defense for your action/actions.

Things I find the funniest in the private sale world :

People who want to take a picture of your ID "for their records."
People who want your name, number, address, etc on a bill of sale.
People who will only private sell to a CCW holder like that is some sort of guarantee.
People who think that anyone insisting on no bill of sale are "up to no good" or "have something to hide."

It is a shame these people think that any of that gives them any benefits whatsoever.

But then again most of these people that want / think such things are the kinda of people who say s*** like "I am all for the 2a.........buuuuutt....."

Lots of food for thought. I may re-evaluate my sales requirements.
I also subscribe to a new channel on the tubes called Fuddbusters. The guy is a lawyer and usually signs off with the advice (I'm paraphrasing) that anything more than minimum compliance is self regulation. Or something like that.

I think I'll no longer ask for name and phone numbers. Even old guys like me can change.

If you do, I'll take back everything I said about you.

I got ambushed years ago by the "maytag repairaman" on a glock deal, money ready then he produced his receipt. Years go by different board name now, he did it again. Personally would of really liked to know that in advance, I too would have saved the drive.

If i bought it new or used-IDGAF if i bought something and decide to sell it- the only paper im going to require is cash

[MarkItZero]

Anyone remember the MikeFromChandler character on the old azs site that made an ordeal about Bills of sale that turned into a 20 page thread?

Ironically ATF's own guide for private transfers doesn't even recommend a bill of sale.

That decides it for me then. Cash or sexual favors, no paper.



Except to clean up.
