Never. What ends unregistered private sale isn't they'll catch you at point of sale; but the slight chance they'll trace down the gun and nail you to a cross. "Records show this gun was sold to you - now we caught BillyBob committing a crime with it - how did you dispose of it exactly?" <-- like with Straw Purchase, probably undetectable but do you want even a slight chance of it crashing down on your head (i.e. exposure to extreme legal trouble) just to make an extra $25 on the sale of your crummy $250 pistol?
Think of it, committing a possible felony considered by newsmedia to be worse than murder, and trusting the secret to a guy who wants to buy a used $250 pistol.
