Thread: TV3 & Guncity mistake

I sold a rifle a few weeks back and the buyer asked for all my details, so I gave him them (all false except name) and I got an email back saying for some reasons my details didn't match up at the cop shop. I called him and said I wasn't surprised as they were false, explained I don't give my details out for security reasons. Told him to call me when he was at the cop shop and I'll speak to who ever he was dealing with. So I got the ph call a day later and the Sargeant came on the ph. I told the Sargeant I wasn't trying to be difficult but I wasn't going to hand all my details to some random person I didn't know. He didn't care, and wanted them, so I politely said it wasn't happening, and that all I wanted to know was that this rooster held a current FAL, and as a seller thats all I need to know. He wasn't a happy chappy, but I couldn't give a fuck, policeman or not, a buyer doesn't need to know my shit!

How did you know that it was the police you were talking to? Would of been better for the seller to phone you that he was at such and such police station and then you could've looked the phone number up and called the station yourself.

Could have been Tom, Dickinson or Harry, but seeing as he had been to the cop shop in the first instance and finding out my details were false (only the police would know) I would imagine he's got no reason not to go back, and more importantly, I didn't send the rifle till I had the appropriate paperwork.

The system works as it is as long as your a responsible seller. No need to try and complicate a simple process is there?
