    Well make sure they guy has a decent trader rating and talk with him to sort out the details
    Get him to show you pics of the internals and maybe take a timestamped pic to show that he really has it
    And if your still paranoid about it
    Ask him to ship it via canada post C.O.D so you pay when you receive the product at the post office
    Makes me feel much safer than emt
    Im sure if you explain that your a first time buyer and are nervous they will accommodate you a bit

    Good luck man and i hope you enjoy your new rifle when you get it

    1. Each person selling will have a trader rating. Buy from a person with a excellent, established trader rating.

    2. Ask for detailed pictures of item being sold. Make sure pictues are authentic by reverse picture seach via google or ask that one of the pictures include a visual mark such as the sellers user handle plus the date.

    3. Do not commence a transaction unless you have all details of sellers info. Such as name, phone number, adress, ect ect.


    4. Do as much as the transaction via a written methed. Text or email works great. This way you have a record of communications.

    5. Use common sense. If it is to good to be true. It just might be.

    This!!
    Cod is a waste of money and time since the seller could send you a piece of plumbing pipe or something instead.
    Stick with sellers who have a good rating based on a decent amount of deals.

    Well, have you applied for access to the EE?
    You’ll need to respond in the forum a number of times in the three months previous to joining up.
    The more times you participate you gain access to the EE.
    Then the fun begins...
    You can start off with a face to face transaction and go from there by following some of the previous suggestions.
    The trader rating is another way to determine the credibility of the sellers and the buyers.
    Just a reminder to read all of the rules ( and become familiar with them ) and eventually guys will be willing to make transactions with you.
    I don’t do this( buy and sell ) on the EE and thus m reluctant to call it business.
    There are lots of like minded individuals here and some not so like minded, you’ll eventually figure out who is who.

    I made lots of awesome deals through EE and talked with many knowledgeable guy's as well. 99.9% of the people on here are honest hard working fella's and ladies. Use common sense don't be rushed but also don't waste the seller's time etc. Asking to hold said rifle etc until payday then change your mind drive's people crazy lol

    I've had 100% great experiences using EE. No complaints thus far.

    Ask for a pic of their pal prior to purchase...people are more squeamish ripping you off if you know their details and you have a paper trail for the banks/lawyers/police/hired goons to confirm that a transaction went south. You still may get burned, but I'd doubt it.

    In any case, all my experiences have been solid.

    Can a person charge the firearm to a mastercard instead of Electronic transfer? Just wondering. Never bought a gun off website!
