To those of you that report the scammers as soon as you see them....

I look at it more like, "what's the replacement cost?"

So you just treat everyone you buy from like your personal shopper. The sell it to you for exactly what they paid for it.
They buy stuff so you dont have to and can sit home and collect calories.

Here's another one to report. Taurus 1911. Listed in another state on GB.

Might be a good idea to not let new members turn off comments?

Interesting point. They're definitely trying to blend in. You see them in the introductions page , and other places. One thing I've noticed is more and more of them posting as being female. They are doing what works, which means a lot of members are more likely to fall victim to someone they think is a female. It's interesting to watch them adapt and analyze their tactics as it gives an insight into the psychology of what people fall for.

If the scammer tried to "blend in" by becoming a supporter, then got deleted, do they get a refund?...

Another question. If we (ODT) have positively identified "scammers" is there a list we can see?

Same scammer just posted the exact same gun, with same fake pictures, for $50 more. Who is falling for this?

I did. And the one they did before. I report dozens of these. They got deleted, change their username, and come back. It won't end until people learn their tricks and stop falling for them. Hence these posts.

True, someone was “called out” publicly as a scammer recently. He was not, and probably will never list anything here again. But because you and others jumped on the bandwagon and “crapped” on him in that thread, with nothing but the OPs (wrong) opinion. I doubt that member who had quality items at very fair prices will ever be back. This could have been avoided if the report feature was used.
We seem to have a group of “monkey see, monkey do” members here that jump in every time another member gets their self in a frenzy.

Speaking from experience?
