I have been looking into buying a rifle which I would need sending via RFD. The vendor asked for bank transfer up front for full asking price however I suggested the recommendation pinned in Sales by Cranfield on this site;
"If a distance is involved that makes a face to face transaction difficult, then have the gun sent through RFD's, there will be a small charge, but its worth it.
The RFD receiving the gun will hold the gun until they receive authority to release it (upon the payment of the money)."
I have appologised if it appeared rude to suggest thai but felt it prudent. However I think I have upset the vendor!
This route would in effect put him £xx into the deal with no guarantee of my money and I see it from his perspective too.
We are at an impass so any ideas how I can overcome this? Driving there is an option but 10 hours round trip and costly!
