ace_of_hearts Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 From what i understand this is where the recipient will pay for the gun when it is delivered to their RFD, who in turn will send the money on to me? I only ever send goods once funds have been cleared, but is this also a valid way of selling? Obviously I would have to ask my RFD first to see if they do it, but would you be wary of this or am i just being overly cautious? Any experiences would be appreciated.

al4x Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 no chance I would do it, if they decide they don't want it then you'll have to pay the carriage back as well. If the carrier is expected to take the money then expect there to be a charge for that as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 i tried to buy a gun from long distance and looking into it would have been easyer to burn my money and give up shooting. the gun was a £160 good condition sxs. it would cost £30 courier, and £50 for the RFD to recieve it, and another £50 for them to write it onto my licence. i told the seller this and he was unconvinced. i gave him the numbers to ring and check as he was very scheptical. he rang me back to say, it was true, and he didnt realise it would be that silly. he said it was "insane". so i had to pull out of a sale (guntrader) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikaveli Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 £50 to write it on your cert?? I'd never step through their doors again! My RFD charges £25 to receive it and all the paperwork. I thought that was steep! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure he doesn't own a joke shop? That isn't the norm as far as I'm aware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 I pay about £25 for my rfd to send the gun. If I have one sent to him he writes it on for nothing as long as I buy some ammo. I have been asked to but would never send a gun cod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace_of_hearts Posted October 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 RFD at either end have quoted £25 each so not too bad. Just a bit funny sending the gun without the money in my hand :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn't the norm as far as I'm aware. the shop is well reknown for its extreme pricing, infact a second hand beretta cost more there than a brand new identical beretta in a shop 15 miles away. i`ve never been back, the last time i went there they charged me £10 a box of hull sterling game...... i said i could make them cheaper... they said, "well go on then" so i did !

Haha good for you The way I see it is times are hard, if people want to rip us off they deserve to go out of business. The sooner some dealers and shops realise this the better.

If the carrier is expected to take the money then expect there to be a charge for that as well If someone has agreed to buy it then they have no right to return it because they don't like it, unless you have given them this option - assuming this is a private sale not a sale by a business.
