I wasnt sure where to post this....but I found a SA Im interested in buying. The seller has a low number of sales but yet a high rating, thats ok by me. But if you look scroll down and look at their other listings....the one other gun thats for sale is coming from a different state than the one Im interested in buying. Is that a red flag???

Yes, any recent feedback? Namely as a seller? Do the sold listings originate in the same state/s or different?

That could seem scammy or totally plausible. For example since I'm able to get stuff done on the computer and I frequently take care of stuff for my friends. Also if someone is in the middle of a move their stuff could be scattered across multiple states. I've had a few transactions where I did not feel comfortable until a few of my requests were met. For example I get them to send me a few new pictures so I know that they actually possess the items and it's not just someone stealing pictures and listing stuff for sale. And you can always have them take it to the FFL and drop it off there before you send payment. Food for thought.

A pic or two with a common household item like a sponge, can of pop, or possibly a pic of the gun with say the cylinder removed will prove it's in the seller's possession.
I personally won't buy online unless the seller is known to me as in a long time forum member or an FFL holder.

Ask for a phone call, ask to speak to the FFL. Neither one of those is chump change.

leftysixgun: COMMUNICATION AND SHIPPING WERE A LITTLE SLOW BUT ALL WENT OK AND I GOT THE REVOLVER. I MENTION THE "SLOW" NOT SO MUCH AS A COMPLAINT BUT JUST TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT.

I found a scammer once by his claimed city (area code out west somewhere) near Albany New York. I told him my sister and brother in live nearby in Half Moon (it was the truth) and they would go to look at it, and he dropped me like a hot potato.
