N/A Barnnet spitfire

[bf1956]

Was 1 up for sale on Brad's site, committed to by via uspsmo. Done deal. Hoe ever got to thinking do a little research
The first post from 2009 on GTA has the same wording plus mention of a Savage scope which AA fore sale ad stated. Think it's a scam? Not sending money order till he can prove different.

Images used in listing appeared to have been cropped screen captures from this you-tube video.

I’ve bought several things there from over the years. Always have a conversation with the seller first. The scammers don’t smell right. Right off the bat $150 for that gun doesn’t pass the sniff test.

If I suspect it to be bogus, I don't bother. Some scammers out there are just trying to get your email address or phone number.

Yeah that sounds like a scam, especially at $150. Ask for some specific photos that are hard to fake and see if they can actually send them.

Thanks for doing the detective work and pointing that out. Interesting, if sad.

I would add that the gent who made the video has apparently never used a sidelever springer, and does not understand the cocking safety ratchet. He pulled the sidelever part of the way back, assumed that was for some imaginary "not shooting at full power" option, and then closed the lever - leaving the spring partially compressed.

I saw a review of the tracker/spitfire on YouTube that showed a guy doing the same thing (partial cock) claiming it could be shot at partial power. I don't know what they are talking about about, the 3 trackers I have don't do that!

Yikes... he got back to me late last night stating that he was at work and that I had talked to his wife when I called. She apparently knew nothing of his doings. That sure was a nice set up!

The ad is up and running on Brad's sight again, check it out.

Yeah that add stinks to high heaven!
Need a phone conversation with seller on that one.

The ad says it's shooting 900fps lol! Hardest shooting tracker ever made I guess since that's about 200 fps over what they normally shoot.

FWB150 on Brad's AA for sale. Is this the same scammer?
