Problems with armslist denizen

[CarRacer]

I have a listing on Armslist currently and am having a problem with a guy on there. I forgot to put that I wanted to see a permit in the ad but asked about it when he contacted me. He didn't like that, wanted to do a "private straw sale" which i turned down and now I just got three phone calls from this idiot.

Anything I can do about it?

Send him this:

GO AWAY!!!!!

If your phone is jail broken then download iBlacklist. Love this app!

Otherwise add his number to your contacts and give him a silent ringtone. This will still allow the calls to come through, but will silence the ring so you won't even notice. To set this up, download this iPhone silent ringtone:

http://www.iphonefaq.org/files/silent_ringtone.m4r

(be sure to right-click or cmd-click and "Save As"), import it into iTunes, and sync it to your iPhone. On your iPhone, add the number you want to block/silence to your contacts and set the silent ringtone as that contact's custom ringtone.

I've only sold one gun, a sig p250 pile of junk, on armslist ever......the buyer was clean as far as I could find out on mncriminals.com......it's a free criminal record lookup site for MN........and I asked for his drivers license for I.d. & he volunteered his permit to purchase.....That was good enough for me at the time.

If I would have got a bad vibe or any harassing phone calls, it would have resulted in me calling the authorities.

Call from someone else's phone.
Say something like
"Hey man, this is your boy Jimmy. I'm in a real bind man..."

Or some other lines you heard in a movie/TV show. It would be hilarious to confuse the person. If you have more time on your hands than most I suppose.

Also that phone number pulls this up on Google.

Offer the gun for the truck!

Or.....just sell it to him. You made a your sale conditional, he found an entirely legal way to meet your condition (unless you are an ffl). Your condition of ptc/ppt is extra-legal, and unnecessary for anything but your peace of mind/warm fuzziness.

Oops, double-tap....

Yea, I didn't know there was a such thing as a "straw sale" when it came to private parties.

[CarRacer]

There's not but it was the best way to describe it. I was thinking about doing that but something didn't seem right to me. I don't think calling the ATF tips line is correct either as no laws were broken, even if I did choose to make the sale.

tack another $500 to your original amount.

One thing you may want to consider is "Google Voice." Google voice gives you a phone number for free that is forwarded to the number of your choice. You have more flexibility using a Google Voice account, like the ability to block numbers. Another benefit when advertising online, the google voice number is not tied to your financial accounts.

Trust your gut and don't sell it. That's just my .02
