Warning Marketplace Ad Seller Carcano

Recommended Posts

I responded to the marketplace ad for the suomi  m31 ,carcano is selling his email was listed in the ad so I emailed him right after he posted the ad I got an email from him saying he could meet me that night dec 9th.I sent him an email back three minutes after his reply asking where he wants to meet 4hrs no reponse after 4 emails and two days later no response I found another of his ads and his cel number was listed called his cel got his voicemail and left a message.Now the ad says sold pending funds so he was supposed to meet me and its been 3 days with no response.So buyer beware guys who does business like this.Also it said in the ad about shipping the gun to a nj ffl which is a little shady.

This stuff happens all the time.  If you didn't lose any money I would look at it like this... he saved you some money to buy something cooler.

 

FWIW, I had something similar happen to me this summer.  However the money he saved me I was then able to spend on something MUCH cooler about a month ago.  It all worked out.  In my favor IMHO.

Mike is a good guy!!

I dealt with him in the past. I also send him a pm here regarding the suomi right after he posted the ad and he reply to me yesterday that the Suomi is SPF.

also in your message you said you want to "take a look" the rifle and not "i would buy it" 

I guess someone else beat us both.

FYI you can order the Suomi from Jgsales for $399

I was never aware of this thread until it was brought to my attention by another member today.

 

Alarmwizz, I do not understand how offering to ship the firearm to a NJ FFL is "shady" as it not only protects both the buyer and seller but allows a buyer outside of normal driving distance (where a FTF sale isn't practical) to purchase the firearm legally. Nothing shady about that unless the buyer has a record and cannot pass a NICS check.

 

It's first come first serve and due to my job I'm required to move around NJ 24/7 when a call comes in.

 

I did attempt to call you and left you a voice mail message explaining SPF (sold pending funds) and that the rifle was no longer available, unfortunately I never heard back from you.

Petros, you summed it up well.

 

The buyer was another member on here who had me ship it to his FFL, I will not post his screen name since I do not have his permission to do so but he closed on the deal quickly.

 

Thanks to 67gtonut for unlocking this thread so I could clear this up.
