Go With Unknown Dealer to Save $85 on a Suppressor ?

I want a second rimfire suppressor. The local storefront dealer I bought my first suppressor from, has the suppressor I want, in stock. I just found an Armslist ad, 50 miles away, and after a quick email exchange, sounds like a dealer who operates from his home. He shows many suppressors in stock(50+) and has the suppressor I want, in stock, and at a price that is $85 less than my local dealer.

The local shop has a brick and mortar store, has been in business at that location for 5 years, and is friendly and knowledgeable.

The Armslist ad is an unknown.

What would you do...?

Unless you really need that $85, I think you should go with the local storefront dealer. Besides the fact that they're friendly and knowledgeable, you also know they'll handle the paperwork properly and they'll also probably still be there in 6 months when your tax stamps comes back.
