When doing local parking lot deals, I have sometimes made the mistake of calling the guy from my work Blackberry, which has a 202 area code instead of my local AZ cell phone. That always upsets them. They think I'm ATF or setting them up, trying to buy as a non-AZ resident. One time did this and the seller wanted to see my ID and CCW after we were already together and he had noticed a missed call from me on his phone. He had brought a buddy with him who is a class III builder and, after we had done our deal, his buddy showed me all kinds of toys he had in his truck, really nice class III stuff, gave me a card and told me to give him a call if I was in the market.
