Maybe he bought it for you for Christmas?
how well do you really know this guy? Are you sure he isn't planning to give it to you for Christmas?
I would never do something like that to a friend.
But I certainly would (and HAVE) done it to an anonymous (to me) poster on another gun forum. He asked if a used Colt Trooper .22 was a "good deal" and listed the store. Well, it WAS a good (great!) deal and the store had a website.
One phone call, and the gun was in my safe.

I would suggest sleeping with his wife/daughter. That should put you square again.

Post his info here so other NES'ers can comb through his posting history to find some inconsistencies, start a thread about them, and shame him into leaving or getting banned.
In future substitute Guy-I-Know for " friend".
I agree , I had a friend like that ...didnt trust him with my wife or my life (what a but_hole)Don't forget to tape it all and give the DVD to him wrapped for Xmas. Tell him it's [insert random awesome title] and suggest he should watch it at his family holiday gathering.
A frequenter of this site just stabbed me in the back. I found a nice old s&w revolver at a local shop. I e-mailed the friend and asked his advice as to price and condition and so on. I told him I was going to make an offer the next day based on his advice.
The next day the friend drives to the gun shop and bought the gun before I got there.
Would the proper etiquette be for me to hold him down and pistol whip him with the gun in question or should I use one of my own?
This brings to mind my Cousin Paulie's second-favorite saying:
"Hey Pal, you snooze, you lose." (Usually spoken while he took the last piece of veal).

Now you know he's not your friend, and it didn't cost you anything.....
Next time, do some price research on The Internet, & if it's something you want, go get it. Talk is cheap.
Otherwise this:Thank you friend for buying the gun so nobody else would scoop it up, and tell him you are on the way over to his house with the money .
I eagerly await your next post.Post his info here so other NES'ers can comb through his posting history to find some inconsistencies, start a thread about them, and shame him into leaving or getting banned.
The gun in question of course.
That sucks. It appears there are several lessons to be learned from this episode:

I expect there is something wrong with me. It wouldn't even occur to me to do something like that whether I knew him or not
