Different guy, different family member, same description.

If it seems sketchy, it is. That's a scam, OP, don't be dumb.

Well it doesn't seem like a scam until you see the second one. I don't have any reason not to believe some guys uncle/ brother in law died and he's auctioning off his old guns. Just not both

Not so much a scammer, just a shitty dealer. He uses his multiple accounts to get people into bidding wars so shit goes way above what it would otherwise. And some of the merchandise is likely fake.

>And some of the merchandise is likely fake
do you mean he's not actually selling the shit he's listing

I use gunbroker more than anything else because I have never been scammed on it

I haven't been scammed but I scam people on Armslist all the time, it's funny as fuck and kinda pathetic how people still fall for the same scams that are almost as old as the internet itself.

No, like he force matches numbers on shit that isn't actually matching.

No

One guy saw the ad and copied it. Or both guys copied from someone else

That actually does happen. Some faggots just list to show off what they have, and when people try to buy they take it down.

If I recall, you can check their info to see their address.

It's likely one for the following or a mixture of:
1) The guy is legit selling a family members collection.
2) The guy is buying and selling rifles without an FFL
3) The guy plays off the "I'm not a dealer" to appeal to people who don't like dealing with greedy dealers
4) The play plays off the I'm not a dealer and these aren't my rifles to avoid dealing with condition(of the rifle) issues
5) The rifles are cobbled together, see 4)
6) The guy is an FFL dealer put plays off the "I'm not a dealer" because he has a bad rep
7) The guy has multiple accounts
8) Someone copied someone else's selling angle
9) etc

Post one of the links and I'll check it out, I GB lists their phone as well, shit you can even call them. If anything cross reference the two sellers and FFL lists.

Never mind I see the accounts. Quick glance at the first guy's completed auctions. He gets a lot of action(bids & bidders)- he starts the bids low and this usually draws a lot of action due to a psychological effect but also the "liquidation of deceased's collection" and "I'm just and average Joe who don't know nuffin bout guns and shiit" will draw bidders and often the same bidder to other auctions for thinking they will get a deal.

Smart seller. Also, if you play that up you can't authentically keep it up if you have hundreds of sales and feedback under your belt. Hence using multiple accounts with innocuous monikers.

"mlhdkh" I mean, he's not even trying anymore. Just smashing keyboard for account name.

So is he trying to scam out out of your money, likely not. But he does have a good shady sales pitch
