Attempted to purchase a pistol plus suppressor from him. Upon meeting for the deal we discussed the way to transfer the suppressor, I told him I would go to my FFL and discuss it and go from there. Money was exchanged and I was reassured because he gave a copy of his tax stamp (address on the stamp was wrong to begin with but he wrote it in with pen and showed his license to prove it was his current one). Upon speaking with my FFL they told me the transfer had to be done a certain way and that we would both have to be present. I told him what the FFL said and he responded with "don't take their word for it" and "do your own research". The suppressor was $150 within the deal, I told him I would take $125 (later even going as low as $100) just to wipe my hands of it and let him sell it to someone else. He said that he would sell it to someone else and THEN return the money, instead of just returning the money to start. When I pressed more to just wipe our hands of it, he flatly said "I'm ending this conversation, let me know when the tax stamp arrives". I tried to do the NFA process the legal way how my FFL, who processes them everyday, told me, but he decided that a 15min google search was more than their 30 years of experience.
Overall rude to deal with and sketchy in his way of handling NFA items.
