No, more like people too stupid to responsibly talk to a seller? Has nothing to do with maura, or MA bullshit, communism, or even guns. I don't care if it's a gun or a set of golf clubs, if I catch someone "trying to drive around me", they will get told to f*** off. People do this shit at work and I just smile at them when they go down the hall, try to wallhack my authority- and then my boss tells them to f*** off, too. Now if the guy said "Hey my son so and so contacted you about buying the pistol, but he doesn't have his LTC yet. I have an LTC and would like to buy it instead, and when the license comes I want to give it to him after his birthday. " Or if the kid said "hey I am going to wait this one out, but my brother / dad is interested in this same gun and may be contacting you shortly" then NBD.... but the fart-dropping act the OP described, stinks. There's no reason to even entertain
that circus.
Also, there are enough buyers that every seller can afford to throw three or four buyers in the woods and still sell the gun in short order, so why would you choose the one that
stinks? Doesn't make much sense, unless you're selling junk or something nobody wants. If I have a choice between the guy who is like 'I got 600 cash now I can meet you at the dunks at so and so we can do the EFA10 on my phone or yours, I can meet you tonight after 6" and "Swan song shuffle complicated sale involving two people who smell like theyre trying to pull something f***ey" the former is going to win out, every time. Someone else can deal with that other crap, I'm usually already hating the fact that I have to sell a gun, anything that even introduces a c-hair of annoyance is not worth my time.
