I never bid on anything that the seller doesn't take a C&R. If the don't state that they take C&Rs I e-mail and ask before I bid. I live next door to a dealer FFL gunshop owner who will handle my buys if needed. I only had to use him once. The seller would take a C&R, but wanted $70.00 to ship to a C&R. I let the ffl handle that one. Most of the time if the seller won't take a C&R he is going have to sell for a lower price to a dealer ffl.
