mellors Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) I've always fancied another 20 bore s/s. Any way i found one my question is do i pay for it before it comes or after it arrives. I've never done one before. I've always fetched them but this ones 4 or 5 hours away. Edited May 12, 2022 by mellors More info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddoakley Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Before. It will be, or at least should be, entered onto your certificate before its posted so it belongs to you. Edd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He couldn't remember if he paid before or after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gun is entered onto the certificate of the "buyer" by the "seller" nobody else. So if your rfd enters the gun onto your cert he is the seller and therefore legally responsible for the sale and warranty. It also means that he should have paid the previous seller for the gun and then sold it on to you. If he's doing that then there are tax implications. Another system that worked but was fixed anyway.

bruno22rf Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Not sure if it is still the case but some RFD's used to have an arrangement where they would ship guns to each other if a customer was interested for the cost of postage alone.

That can happen, but what happens if customer wants to buy? Who does he pay? Who pays the tax on the sale? Edd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Best Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 I can’t believe that anybody actually buys a secondhand gun unseen from a dealer, pays for it, then gets it shipped. Wouldn’t dream of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wylye Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 It happens more than you think. But then, if you're buying a standard Beretta, Miroku, Browning etc.etc. what's the problem? Its a known product and if there is a problem then the dealer will stand by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edd My local RFD once said (a few years back now) that in such cases you would buy the gun from him, he, in turn, would pay the RFD that originally had the gun but at a reduced price, it was an agreement between all participating RFD's. Bought my sons 101 this way, I paid my local guy £350 and he paid the RFD selling the gun £320. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
