[QUOTE="DarryH, post: 2344903, member: 77108"] Use a credit card, preferably from a firearms friendly company. That will offer some protection. I had a horror story. I did everything right, except for the credit card. Seller had over 200 positive feedbacks and no negative. Seller took a ton of pics and answered all my questions. Gun NOT as advertised. He took lots of pics, but NOT of the three major problems. I used a US Postal Money Order. He refused a refund and taking the gun back. I protested on the Forum. I was ruled against, supposedly because my pics supporting my issue were not good enough. Yet you could easily see the defects. I provided the moderator with all the pics and conversations. I was also told the seller must be trustworthy due to his feedback. I was told a gun that old would have some cosmetic issues, even though the seller said there were none. The Postal service would do nothing. I spent $800 plus shipping and dealer FFL fee. I was lucky to get $300 for the fun. I can't afford to lose money like that. My FFL watched me open the gun box and inspect the gun. Neither FFL would do anything. I now think the moderator was friends with the seller. The forum in question has AR15 in it's name. Had I used a credit card, I would have my money back. Face to face is still best. I often meet in the police department parking lot. LOTS of cameras there. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
