New to using the EE. Is it reasonable when trading restricteds along with cash to request that the transfers be completed first. Then the money will be sent before shipping.
 
I would say that if there are Transfers going both ways, it's only reasonable to do them both first. There is no guarantee that they will be completed at the same time (and one might even be rejected!). One side could be left having sent cash, and with nothing to show for it but a stalled Transfer.

But as always, it's an agreement between buyer and seller.

That's what I was thinking as well.

exactly.
 
Money first.


Once a transfer has been initiated, it is in the buyers court.... if the transfer is competed before payment, the seller will not be allowed to do anything as they no longer own the firearm.


if the transfer is stalled.... it is the buyers fault. (they should make sure everything lines up before agreeing to buy a gun)


always remember. the gun belongs to whoever it is registered to...
so if you transfer it and don't ship it? the buyer can accuse you of theft and you have absolutely no recourse.... all it takes is them saying the mailed you cash.
