verbal contract.......

@ the OP. Sorry, it was early, and I missed the part about the other forum. i think most of us got the impression that you were saying that this had occurred to your friend, and you had first-hand knowledge of it.

Is this somehow related to the ODT member that got a stolen gun traded to him and then reported his traded gun stolen...or something like that?

No sir not to my knowledge. It came from a small SE Ga forum. With some of the folks out here in the sticks, it wouldnt surprise me if someone did try it lol

Read this on another forum...look over the gramatical errors, interesting.


I think this should be a sticky note for awhile. It might save some one some trouble in the future.

A long story short. I had a friend that agreed to trade a hand gun for a rifle. They agreed to the deal threw texting and set a time up to meet. The guy waited on my friend for almost a hour before he left. He then called my friend and asked where he was at, then my friend told him that he forgot to tell him that he was backing out of their deal, and was trading the gun to some one else.

They guy told him that they made a deal and that he expected him to keep up his end of the bargain, but my friend did not. The police came to his house with a warrant for his arrest, because he was in possession of stolen property. They did not want to arrest him at that time, because they knew he really did not know what he was getting into, so they told him to come down there that day or no later than the next, or they would have to arrest him, because t...hey really just wanted to discuss this matter with him first and make him aware of how the laws are written for what was done.

My friend had to go get the gun back from the guy he traded it too, because he was then in possession of stolen property his self. Then my friend had to turn around and follow threw with the orginal deal he made with the guy the first time.

If you verbally agree with someone and their is a witness, it is legally binding in the state of GA. If you text a deal with some one it is the same thing. It is a binding agreement between to parties and is valid in the state of GA.

So the next time you agree with some one, know that it is binding and you cannot back out of it if the other person chooses to follow threw with the deal threw the courts.

A side note to this, is that the man said he would have not took it so far and personal, if he would have just called and said he changed his mind and did not have to wait a hour and drive 35 minutes just to get dumped on.
