Just had a though - someone should show up at gun buy back events and make offers to people bringing their guns in, if nothing else to educate them on the actual value. A lot of great deals could be had

I'll give you 200.00 for that crappy old Colt.
What if you come across a gun that was stolen and you try and transfer it from the thief to you? How would that work?

The problem with buying from people going to a gun buy back event is that you would have to interact with people going to a gun buy back event.

No thank you.
Well they are no questions asked buy backs.... They may want to just unload the gun for a quick $50You would exercise your best judgement, I suppose, to profile the guy. You would also tell them the transfer process checks the serial number and watch for the signs. Besides, who in their right mind would steal a gun and then bring it to the police for a $50 buyback?
Not really. Most of the stuff that turns up at buybacks is junk.
True enough most of the time and reason enough not to care. But, what breaks my heart is seeing valuable and collectible firearms turned in to be melted down (or pilfered).
If I had to guess, I'd say that the licensed person would quickly become unlicensed due to suitability.If the unlicensed person en route to the buyback is accompanied by a licensed person to the dealer, then there would be no issue.
Also, if the firearm in question is over 50 years old can a C&R holder purchase it directly?
well, I don't get it, people bitch about rare guns being scrapped 90% of the buy back threads, but as soon as someone comes up with a way to buy those "rare" guns, then people don't care and say that most of those guns are junk anyway. Can we get consistent story on what is actually being brought to these buy backs?
I don't see a problem with getting a small moving truck or a van, with large vinyl lettering "we pay top dollar for used guns, cash money $$$" and park it next to a police station, then have another car with a few "runners" who would drive the person to an FFL near by. That should be perfectly legal, but cops won't like it and will try to find some way to shoot your dog.
Actually, I think it's a pretty good idea. If we had a dozen licensed gun owners with some cash, I'd totally do it. You probably make a little cash for your trouble and cops will have nothing but BB guns to show for.
