Effective date: [EFFECTIVE_DATE]

This page is general information for users of [SITE_NAME] ([DOMAIN]). It is not legal advice. You are responsible for complying with all federal, state, and local laws.

[SITE_NAME] is a platform only – we do not buy or sell items, we are not a party to any transaction, and we do not process payments.

1) Before you contact a seller

  • Know your state’s rules and your local requirements.
  • If you are unsure, plan to use an FFL transfer.

2) Use lawful transfer methods

  • If a firearm must be transferred through an FFL in your state, do it that way.
  • If an item is legal only with specific procedures, permits, or paperwork, follow those requirements.

3) Avoid becoming part of an illegal transfer

Do not ask for:

  • “no paperwork” where paperwork is required
  • shipping to a different person or a different state address to bypass rules
  • false statements or forged documents

4) Watch for scam patterns

Red flags:

  • seller refuses to provide clear photos or details
  • seller pressures you to pay quickly
  • seller asks for unusual payment methods
  • price is far below market with a rushed story
  • seller wants to move the conversation off-platform immediately

5) Meeting in person

  • meet in public places with cameras when possible
  • bring a friend if you can
  • inspect the item carefully before agreeing
  • keep message records

6) Paying safely

  • do not send advance payment to strangers
  • understand the rules of any payment method you choose
  • keep documentation of what was agreed

7) Shipping basics (if you receive shipped items)

  • use tracked shipping
  • agree on how loss or damage is handled
  • confirm the lawful destination and lawful process

If you are receiving a firearm from out of state, plan for an FFL transfer in your state of residence.

8) If something feels off

Walk away. There will always be another deal.

9) Report problems

If you see scams or prohibited items, report it:
