a lot of the time 2 people turn up to buy from me, get people of allsorts turning up but all seem ok, but i know what you mean.
Was a little perturbed today to see two chaps turning up to buy from me and i felt a tad awkaward.
Crikey - it was an honest deal.
Anyway - the mrs was ready for them

I have never gone 2's up to buy stuff.
Or to sell for that matter.

When I went to purchase a PCP from a chap at a large services, he got it out to show me and dry-fired it a few times (it was charged). It was on CCTV, and watched by a horrified family of European tourists in a camper-van.
There were a few other unfortunate ones I remember, but that will do for tonight!
In fairness, I often take a mate that knows more about what I am buying than me. If he/she as an owner and user of the same brand, reckons it's a good deal, I pay cash there and then. Nothing sinister, just bringing a (good) advisor. At the end of the day my decision to buy or not, but having a bit of good advice may swing it either way. It is far better than buying blind and then cursing .....
Just my take on this, no diifferent to taking a mechanic when you buy a second hand car.
Take care, Matt
All in black, all in black, gives wabbits a heart attack.
Never felt the need to take a mate to a buy/sell to be honest.
Probably something to do with the fact that they are rolling up to a perfect stranger with a (sometimes) large amount of cash in their pocket!
All the best

i can not say anything because the air ranger i brought yesterday i went 4,s up just to be safe any trouble i was going to set my little 1 year old and 5 year old on them and then the misses was going to step in and i was going to watch
It's not surprising. Lots of people can't go for a piss on their own.

sometimes one of the lads might say that their going to pick up a gun and do i fancy a ride , same with gun shops when two people turn up at a gun shop one of them has usually " come along for a ride "
don't think there is anything sinister going on or i would hope not
Depending on the circs, I understand why people might want to go two's up to buy something.... (for advice/piece of mind/etc)
BUT.....
If I was going to buy something like an air rifle and was bringing someone else, then I'd definitely let the seller know this in advance out of courtesy.
If a buyer turned up with another person for no apparent reason and without explanation it would definately put me a bit more 'on edge' for want of a better turn of phrase.....
Shops excepted..... I'm talking about private transactions....
I've got no problem with it. I see it as an opportunity to meet fellow airgunners and chew the cud a bit. The more the merrier!
Maybe to share the driving if its a long journey
