Another moron thread

[ColbyBruce]

I bought this S&W 642 in April of 2008 for my daughter. The trigger pull was too stiff for her and the recoil was a bit much. I bought her a S&W 331ti and sold the 642 to an acquaintance. I last saw this man in 2013.

A short while ago I checked our old family email account and found a month old email from him, along with several other emails asking why I never answered him. He needs a receipt for that gun, as it has been stolen from the current owner.

I replied that we rarely use that old email therefore we rarely check the account. I stated the serial number was printed on the box. I pointed out he gave me a check for the S&W and had written the serial number on the check. I refuse to give a receipt to a third party under any circumstance.

He is not happy. He said the person he sold the gun to is a client, and this may end the business relationship.

If I can find a GIF of Doris Day singing "Que Sara Sara" I will send it to him.

Moron indeed. Can't say more or I'll get dinged.

 

[Andy Lowry]

Thoroughly understood. I keep all my gun receipts just in case, regardless of whether I still own the item in question.

 

[D Brown]

Apparently, this acquaintance has mistaken you for the BATFE.

I probably do have a receipt for that gun, and the other two S&W 642 revolvers I have owned. I have no idea which gun he got; the other two were traded at shops that are out of business. It amazes me that he expects me to have what he needs after he has owned the item 9 1/2 years.

Just as you responsibly recorded the transaction between the two of you, it is HIS responsibility to record/document the transaction between he and his "client".

I agree with you.....tell him to pound sand.

It kills me in this society how folks do NOT want to act responsibly and take ownership of their own actions.

It is HIS problem and if he loses HIS client it is HIS problem... not yours.

 

[H Richard]

That's why I keep a spread sheet on all my guns, and then a 2nd one listing all the guns I formerly owned and what happened to them, who bought them, etc.

Sorry, all my records went down in the terrible boating accident.

[Ogandydancer]

He sold it to the next guy, should be HIS responsibility to furnish the receipt to him.

 

[Eagle 477]

I think that the Last person that Owned the gun should have all the documentation from the purchase. A copy of the Bill of sale from the previous owner Make Model and Ser# and the price he paid.
anything else Tough Nuggies

I agree that this is an issue between the guy you sold it to and the guy that purchased it from him. I don't see where this has anything to do with you. Tell him you don't have a copy of the original transaction between you and him and leave it at that.

THIS!

 

[dave1918a2]

All of My receipts, sales slips, canceled checks, ETC got lost in the flood.

 

[gregintenn]

I don't get it. How's a receipt from you going to rectify the situation?

 

[2ndAmendmentNut]

What is required to report a firearm stolen? Shouldn’t a serial number and description of the make and model be sufficient?

I responded to be polite and point out this was not my concern, but his. I guess I need to start ignoring such people.

As I understand, he needs a serial number for that 642. I can't provide that for him.

 

[2ndAmendmentNut]

Oh I see, so the guy doesn’t even have the serial number.

If he wrote the number on the check and knows the approximate time he bought it from you it should be fairly easy to get a copy from his bank.

Not your fault or your problem, but if it was me and I could help him out I would. While I do not have a receipt for every gun I own I do have every serial number written down.

Just think, this could all have been avoided with a simple trigger return spring replacement and use of factory wadcutters. I had the same issues with my daughter's 442..

I maintain both a bound book and the electronic version of a bound book so as to have the ability to scan receipts and photos. This way, should records be needed by LE or BATF, a simple fax number or email acct will get them copies of all documents.

You may not remember me, I sat behind you in Mrs. Hoffmeisters class in 1974-5, a girl with red hair sat to your left. Do you still have her phone number (and name) thanks.
