    Semi 22 under 100..... Only thing you'll get is a Jimenez (Jam-o-matic) which is just 1/2 a step up from a rock. Put a little cash up and get something more reliable that the kids could learn how to shoot. I just bought a Steyr 22 from CDNN for 239.00 and its worth every penny. You can find Smiths and Berettas fer a little over 2 bills.

    only reason I say that is because I could get a phoenix for 150 brand new. I'm not looking for a self defense pistol, just something to get them started. and in all honesty a gun that has a few issues wouldn't be bad at all so that they could learn how to fix the problem properly. I used to have one years ago but cant remember the company, it was a company that went out of business from TX. got the gun from a friend of mine for 50 buck and it was so much fun and cheap. that's pretty much what I'm looking for so they could get started.

    Look around, you might find a Phoenix cheaper than that. Occasionally see them on sale around $120 or so. My wife has one and loves it. I enjoy it too with the nice single action trigger!

    Sweet man...let me guess...he should just send you cash to a Nigerian address and you will mail it straight to his house?

    I’m lost lol. Is this because he only has 1 post?

    No sorry... There is a lot of wtb ads (several of mine as well) that have people respond that they have "just what you are looking for" but it is a scam. I am not saying for sure that what that is but it sure seems like it especially with the u.s. as the location

    To me a red flag is the location says U.S.
    Might want to be a LITTLE more specific.

    I have seen hundreds of posts like this, on other larger forums...

    mods have tools to search ip addresses, and site where they can search for the scammers....

    99% get banned in short order, some 5-6 at once hit bigger forums

    I posted ski boots on ebay for pretty cheap and it says that I do not ship outside the US. Someone from one of the "Stans" bought them but of course didn't pay for them. So I have to wait till dumbo ebay can work it out!-:) The blessings and curses of the internet.
