ATF Agent or Dopey Perp ?

[TopShot]

One of the guns I'm selling was previously listed on another website for sale.
This was post I received from a buyer:

"Hi CB I'm interested However I'm in the city feel free to email me I'll actually give you $350 if you come down we can meet in front of 250 East Houston New York N.Y 10002 if we do good business i can actual purchase again I've been trying to purchase off the dark web but to many scammers!! sucks!! Sunday 12/12/25 around 2:00 in the afternoon Let me No SERIOUS BUYER !?"

This was my response:
First the gun has to go through an FFL.
Second the gun has 3 -13 round magazines.
Third you can only purchase it with those magazines if you're an LE.

I've been since ghosted.
Was this a test ?
I should of made a phone call and have NYPD make the sale.

Newspaper reported trying to expose just how easy it is to buy a gun off the street...the awkward language in indicative of foreigners (which are often enough scammers) that in itself is a big red flag...years ago when I'd list guns on Armslist, I would receive messages like that, sometimes I'd play games with them, mostly just reported it to the admin then delete it.

I never bothered.
I should have told him to meet at 1 Police Plaza, NYC. (NYPD Headquarters)

Maybe entrapment, maybe criminal, but definitely not a deal you want any part in.

Let us know if your wife and dog lives through the night.

You should say yes and then order a dozen Uber eats with his name to be delivered at that time with instructions to meet outside.
