This seems to be a popular subject, it keeps popping up every few weeks...

Anyway, my requirements haven't changed. I would not provide nor would I request, photo or other ID.

I would require a receipt, something along the lines of:

Brian Pfleuger purchased Ruger M77 MkII rifle serial # 123245 from John Smith on December 92, 1423 for the amount of $83.19

Signed:
Brian Pfleuger
John Smith

That way, I can show that I bought the gun, I thought it was a legitimate transaction, he represented it as legit and I had no reason to suspect otherwise.

There's no downside and plenty of up.
