Gunbroker Scam?

[james13]

I've been looking for a specific [recently discontinued] AR pistol for some time. When I started looking, the average selling price was around $3,000, which climbed to $3,500+. Some recent sales/listings are now over $4,000.

Recently a listing popped up with a "Buy it Now" price of below $2,500. The seller is not a FLL and only has 2 prior transactions, both purchases, which are about 9-10 years ago. The only form of payment he accepts are USPS Money orders. He has several other firearms listed, all of which appear to below current market value.

Seems too good to be true. Thoughts?

I never buy online from non FFLs. Only pay with CC

OP has bigger balls than most if he continues down this very bad path.

Just send the 2500 to me. You’ll at least know where your money went.

Appears that the listing was pulled from Gunbroker.

$2,500+ for an AR pistol?

That alone is a scam.
