Many start off preferring a F2F and who could blame them, but when no-one wants to drive over to Middle Dogdirt to collect it - the seller has 2 choices : withdraw the item and maybe try again later or accept an offer including postage.
Either way it's the sellers decision to post and the seller is responsible for the item until its reached the buyer.
This supported by law.

The only exceptions to this would be a clear acceptance in writing BEFOREHAND by the purchaser that any loss or damage would be theirs to bear or if the buyer arranged their own collection.
Rubbish! If the buyer wants the gun enough then they will drive, from our home in West Norfolk we have travelled to Manchester (Rapid Mk 1), Gloucester (BSA Super 10), Lake District (Daystate X2) and the Midlands on numerous occasions to buy guns. The simple reason being it is a nice day out and we do not trust the post over much either!
