HAYBURN Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 When you are buying an air rifle from say Gunstar etc. What is the safest way to pay.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiep Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Cash on collection - that way you get to see the gun is as described. If it's too far away, then BACS, if they refuse that, or want paypal or Western union, or something else, then refuse, and insist on BACS. If they don't want it traceable, then there's a reason why. Far too many people that have been scammed, it's happened to because it was such a good deal ... ask questions, be dubious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the only "safe" way to pay for anythung, if you think theres anything iffy the you dont pay. Hard to but from a distance unless your using someone that can be vouched for regards John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shewolf Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Cash on collection, but I would still be very wary. Make sure you have all documents etc. as I know of someone who made a purchase, was very, very happy with the purchase, unfortunately it turned out to be a stolen gun, and he has not only lost the gun but the money he spent on it :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chandler Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 I've bought mainly 2nd user guns and along with some good exchanges have had bad as well even face to face. I would recommend always at least asking for a home phone number to contact the seller on and payment via BACS as suggested above. There are 1000's of happy people out there who have bought and sold 2nd user guns with no issue. It's sad that a small minority of ***** are ruining it for everyone.
