C&R/FFL needed for interstate purchases?

Let's say I want to buy a gun from someone on Gunbroker. In the description it says shipping to FFL / C&R only, but if the seller is in the same state as I am, then do I still need an FFL or C&R?
According to the BATF:
http://www.atf.treas.gov/firearms/faq/faq2.htm#b2
(B2) From whom may an unlicensed person acquire a firearm under the GCA? [Back]
A person may only acquire a firearm within the person's own State, except that he or she may purchase or otherwise acquire a rifle or shotgun, in person, at a licensee's premises in any State, provided the sale complies with State laws applicable in the State of sale and the State where the purchaser resides. A person may borrow or rent a firearm in any State for temporary use for lawful sporting purposes.
[18 U.S.C. 922(a)(3) and (5), 922(b)(3), 27 CFR 478.29 and 478.30]
SO, if I am interpreting this correctly, as long as the seller and buyer are in the same state, unlisenced persons may transfer firearms without FFL/C&Rs ??
Any info would be appreciated.

They could refuse to sell to someone other than a FFL if they so desired in a same State sale. Some States like Commiefornia require all boomsticks to be tranferred thru a Federally Licensed seller.
Besides the state I'm in.........confused. [:D]
