    Yeah I kind of figured they were trying to sell to felons or just listing it so high it wouldn’t sell so they could tell their wives they tried. I think many noobs just overpaid panic buying and are now trying to recoup funds. I’ve been on there since 2009 and only had two no shows in all that time. Fast forward to this year and I’ve had two in the last month, I don’t think a lot of guys on there can actually afford the guns. My sneaking suspicion is they’ll say they want it and set a time all the while trying to sell something to get the funds. When it falls through they don’t have the balls to tell you.
    I'd say that's highly likely as well. Or they didn't get permission from their other half and "ghost" you.

    That could happen in any of our major cities on any given day buying gas or a bag of chips.. Not sure I would blame TGT..

    That said, pick very public spots to meet.
    Not dark hidden allies, or ghettos.

    I have read of such incidents happening in the past. Probably one of the reasons some police departments have safe zones for buying and selling to strangers. I'd guess with dealing with firearms, robbery is a real issue to contend with.I'

    I'd guess getting robbed of firearm is a greater threat than getting jacked for a bag of chips.

    I wouldn't blame Texas Gun Trader, per se, but at the same time, most people on that site are trying to sell or buy guns.

    And people have been robbed in very public places. just saying.

    I've only heard of a few incidents from TGT meetups. Most of the meet ups gone wrong are from hookup sites and drug related encounters.
