So i got an offer for a sl66 xsv krypton ice ego. It seems legit, he said he will ship the same day i do. but it sounds too good to be true. What do you guys think?

That is the gun. He said that he wrecked his moms car, and he needs money to repair it. So he's selling it for cheep. I asked him if he would take a picture of his screen name on a piece of paper with the gun in front of it, he told me he left his camera at his dorm room. He did say he was studying criminal justice.

Well, can you give a price? Don't give a link, just give the price so we don't steal it from you.

I always go by the "when in doubt, don't" rule. If your spidey sense is tingeling just walk away.

there's a good chance it is legit

but just be sure

tell him you will get the money to him right away if he can prove he's legit

make sure he at least provides his phone number if you desperately want the gun.

 

then call the number

So he can blow you off? when you call looking for your gun? Maybee he's legit maybe he's not just ask yourself are you ready to gamble away $500 bucks?

Don't do it. That picture is of the only Krypton Ice Sl66 with a green frame, the rest of them were white.  485 dolalrs is a joke, and it is a scam. If you do it, you WILL regret it.

Here is a NORMAL Krypton Ice.

Please PM me the username of the pbn user trying to sell it to you.
