Another good transaction with LenV. My only complaint is that he somehow sneakily makes me talk myself into buying stuff that I don't really need...

Great transactions with Roddy Toyota and croesler. Roddy delivers beyond expectations and builds a great gun! Also a lot of great advice to a mewb. Croesler transaction was smooth, prompt shipping and good communications.

"Roddy delivers beyond expectations and builds a great gun!"

Yes!

Great dealing with Lablover! Thanks for the hard to find mount.

Great transaction with dronning in April, 2020. He paid me for shipping before USPS even picked the item up at my house.

Great transaction with robert84010. He also paid me well before I shipped the items (indeed I have not yet shipped them, but I certainly will).

Not sure what these guys are thinking, trusting me

Great transaction selling to Trout23

Easy peasy buying from dapduh2.
Straight forward, quick on replies and fast shipping.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again.

great transaction with John Bickar. highly recommend.

Good dealing with Craig.

Good doing business with Allan.

Does the OP intend this to also be a place to warn the friends we've made on this site about people with whom we have had bad experiences?

Great transaction with CraigB5940. I was the buyer and Craig's selling, shipping and comms were impeccable.

Great doing business with JimPGov, a true gentleman.

ED CONSTANTINE

I contacted Ed about a pistol that I saw on GlockTalk (Not a Glock a Bullseye Pistol that I would have expected to pay around $3,000.00 for used, but it also included a Holosum $400.00 Red Dot and a custom mount. Ed had offered it to someone and I posted, "If so and so doesn't want it, please let me know". At the time there was no price listed.

There was a link to pictures on a hosting platform, though when I went there it showed a date of 2009 and the "ED" in the upper left hand corner, when clicked on, said a different Last name.

Someone recently tried to scam me for a Benelli MP3S. Mike112 and Carter Klaus. Turns out they are the same person and a tag team in that you get a response to a WTB post from Mike telling you that Claus has what you are looking for and lists his E-mail address. No need to go into the details, but if you Google Mike112 and Klaus's e-mail address, you will get the scoop. So, I was very leary of doing a deal with someone.

Ed had only 67 posts on Glock Talk and I did not get one hit on Googlea about him, got or bad. I called him on the phone and he had an accent. That was the next flag along with him telling me that he was EC1234 on GunBroker, which I could not find. The Dealer he told me he would be sending it from did not have a web site. So I did more due diligence. I:
     Asked for a picture of his drivers license next to the gun, which he sent and it was the same serial number as the pictures posted showing a date of 2009, though he said he did not know how that date was there other than he might have started using that platform in 2009. 
     I asked him to do something to show he actually had been a GunBroker seller so he posted a scope for sale and then I as able to find EC1234 and clicking on his trade history he did have 36 transactions, all + Positive, but none in the last year.
     I then contacted the dealer, who turned out to be a Male Registered Nurse by day and a Home FFL by night. Nice guy, filled me in on Ed, who is Russian but has been in the US for decades. He does have a Facebook page for the gun shop and seemed legit. KC Arms in Lee's Summit, Missouri.
     My last check was that I did not send the PayPal payment of $2,900.00 until the dealer and Ed send me a picture of the packed box and the Tracking Number.

So if anyone wants to have a great deal and not have to worry so much about doing your own vetting, I would recommend Ed Constantine. He has some other Walther and other brand high end target pistols, though most Rim Fire, for sale. You can reach him at his name live.com.

Sa-tevp is a great guy with which to deal. Easy transaction. Scope as described / pictured. Excellent packing.
