Just a note for everyone: with any WTB ad, there may be scammers lurking. Only use the PM system. Be very careful with emails or texts.

My hobbies and passions are my own, and I don't expect my son of grand daughters to appreciate them. The vintage truck I'm restoring, my son thinks should be hauled off to the junk yard. Gold and Silver coins would get sold. Any other types of coins, who knows how they'd get rid of them, probably haul them to the bank. My huge collection of CAS guns, they have no interest whatsoever. The beautiful Western hat collection, clothes and all that... Salvation Army or Garbage. What are they going to do with plus size gun rigs and such? I figure there's a few good years left in me, (but we're never promised). Then there's going to be a big sale on the Classified Wire before I burden the kids with disposing of all of it!

That phone number belongs to a known scammer, Todd German, who is listed on our "Scammers: Names, Phone Numbers, and Email Addresses" thread, pinned at the top of the Classified section. Anything involving Todd German is a scam. https://www.offenderradar.com/offender-details/todd-allen-german-of-michigan-1901520

You must be referring to the Classified Forum. After a week of complete inactivity, posts are hidden, rather than deleted, so we can retrieve one for you, as you requested. Posts older than 2026 have been permanently deleted. Hopefully, this will cut down on scammers finding personal information contained in those. We are bringing the forum into compliance with the Classified Forum Guidelines, which are not new. SASS Wire Classifieds The SASS Wire Classified is for NON-COMMERCIAL POSTINGS ONLY. Offers on the Classifieds may only be posted by a SASS Member (you may not post for someone else), in good standing, and must include his/her SASS Number. Offers posted by Guests or Members not including their SASS Number will be deleted. All items posted for sale MUST include a price. This is not an auction/bidding site, and linking to off-site auctions is prohibited. "Make me an offer" with no posted base price is prohibited. You may not sell reloaded ammunition. Commercial Posts from merchants or dealers will be deleted, and repeat offenders will be banned from the SASS Wire. Auctions, raffles, and fundraisers are not allowed and will be removed immediately. SASS in no way endorses or guarantees any information posted on this page. Postings will automatically be deleted after one week. ***BE INFORMED*** It is mandatory that all firearms sales be done through the proper FFL channels. Other agencies read this Wire, and you are strongly advised to abide by the law. If you are not sure of the laws for firearm sales and transfers, learn before you buy or sell.

We're still finding members who put their personal contact information in their profiles and signatures. Remnants of a more trusting time, when the site didn't generate as much traffic as now.

There are always at least two sides to every story. We don't cry SCAM just because you can't come to a meeting of the minds over the method of payment. It seems like the best thing for both of you is to walk away. No money or product has changed hands. It's done. Rootin, it would be best to put your desired method of payment in the ad, and mark it as the only method you will accept. If you wanted to know about Cherokee Bill, you could have called the SASS Office.

I'm old, and I am not promised another day. My son and grandkids get hugged at the end of every visit because I may not get to see them again in this life.

A suggestion. Those ads are from May 28th; they are buried way back in the Classifieds pages. Most folks don't dig back that far. Comment on them at least once a week to keep the ads active and in sight, or they will eventually self-delete.

The following is a list of those reported to have scammed or attempted to scam members on the Classified Forum. They usually hit multiple forums at once. (latest as of this writing was the Smith & Wesson forum and Texas Gun Talk). Sometimes all we have is an email address they've used. On a very few we have a "real name" they've used. Also be very cautious if you posted a WTB ad and someone PMs you and says that their friend at some other location, just happens to have what you are looking for. 👉rolexjey02@gmail.com 👉Carter Klaus, Florida 👉 Robert Colton, 108 E Spruce St. Rich Hill, Missouri 64779 https://www.mshp.dps.missouri.gov/CJ38/OffenderDetails?page=0&column=name&id=81019956 👉Todd Allen German, 502-325-9223, 616-310-1927 toddallengerman@gmail.com 👉Brandon Rippy, germantodd32@gmail.com and PayPal ID @BrandonRippy89 👉David Carey, Georgia davidcarey470@gmail.com 👉derekreesesj@gmail.com 👉fairdaleholloway@gmail.com 👉alexmendes66566@gmail.com 👉Roberto Santiago robertosantiago257@yahoo.com 👉matthewtoomerr@gmail.com or text 234-268-7581 👉mattwilttoa@gmail.com or (720) 401-8865 👉Morganis500years@gmail.com, Kyleis500years@gmail.com 👉godsgraces434@gmail.com 👉cowboyshooting@icloud.com 👉 froydale@gmail.com 👉 spenceperryj@gmail.com, perrysjasonp@gmail.com, perryjason238@gmail.com, perryjason066@gmail.com 👉 Perry Spence (or variation of) 👉 Troy Smith, fromtrsmith511@gmail.com, 707-247-5625 👉 Intersport Performance, intersportperformance02@gmail.com, PayPal hb186711@gmailaa.com 👉 Todd German/Joshua Schmidt, Grand Rapids, Michigan (616)-310-1927 👉 DenniszrWittstockdy@hotmail.com, 503-987-8352, Scappoose, Oregon 👉 Robert Colton, Missouri 👉Todd Allen German, 502-325-9223 toddallengerman@gmail.com also used the address of Mack Ervin, 25 Chaseville St. Lot 7, Pensacola, FL 32507 👉 Dynamic, d66250587@gmail.com 👉 jadejoke890@gmail.com 👉 fb6222359@gmail.com 👉 sassverrified001@icloud.com 👉 herrerajvictor2@gmail.com 👉 william.mike1718@proton.me 👉 Robert Colton, Missouri 👉 Todd German

Misty Moonshine Admin Gender:Female Location:Akron, Indiana SASS# 83232 Patron Life SASS Headquarters Posted September 27, 2023 · Good morning all: Please be aware that it has been brought to our attention that there may be an unsavory character trolling the wire forum for "looking to buy" posts. If you post a "WTB" post (Want to buy) - or a post that you are looking for a specific firearm- do your best to know your seller. This individual feigns old age and bad hearing as to why he cannot take a phone call. He will not produce a serial number or pertinent firearm information. He will only accept payment via PayPal. The photos he produces of the item he wants to sell you are stock photos off of google. Misty Moonshine

You are at a car dealership. All the real salespeople have name tags with the dealership's logo. You are browsing the used cars on the lot when some random dude off the street wanders by and says, "Psst... hey listen, I hear you're looking for a good used Jeep CJ7. I know a guy who has just what you want. Here's his e-mail address. You can't see the Jeep in person, you can only look at his pictures, send him the money, and he'll get it shipped to you." You don't know the random dude or his buddy, no one else knows them, and there's no one to vouch for them. But, the pictures look good. So, you send him the money via some cash app that will not help you if you don't receive the CJ7... and you wait... and you wait... and you wait. You never hear from the guy or the random dude again. No CJ7. You get mad at the car dealership. This is the 3rd Party Scam. We warn people repeatedly, but some still get scammed. Don't do it. If you get contacted via PM by somebody you don't know, about an item you WTB, (Want to Buy), ask us for verification! If the person who contacted you is a real SASS member, we'll let you know. Most likely, they are not, and you are walking into a scam.
