has anyone here form FL tried to sell anything on fl guntrader lately? every time i do i get scam buy attempts. lately the same one-take a bank draft and send to an ffl in texas that i will arrange. same email reply guns,optics,ammo. to me amazing. but i guess there is enough of that on here that i shouldn't be as amazed as i am. i think other states have state specific sale sites for guns and everything else. anybody have one that doesn't scam away? i'm sure i don't understand how those mass identical replies work but it seems all sale sites for anything have them. have a very knowledgeable collector friend who got popped for $800 on a G43 scam. he admit's he should have known better. they were sitting about $1300 at that time.
 
Face to give only, it’s not just gun sites but selling anything on classified ad sites, I listed a couch set for sale a few years ago on a site and had about 5 ridiculous scam PayPal offers in the first hour.

Same with audio gear. Somehow some of mine got onto Marketplace and holy shit, some of the replies.
