Purchasing from Gunbroker

[6pt-Sika]

We sell on GB a good bit as a matter of fact we’re over $300k in sales for the year so far . And while there were or are some folks on there who might rob you blind , for the last year or two there’s been rampant run of deadbeat buyers and by that I mean folks that bid win and then don’t wanna pay after the fact with a good many never replying to emails etc . I particularly hate it when a person with no feedback bids on one of our items because they seem to harbor a good many of the deadbeat types . A couple years back there was a guy/group that were stealing pics from Gunsinternational or somewhere of higher grade very visible guns mostly Winchester levers and Colt single actions of my memory is correct . Anyway they had a location of IN or IL if memory serves and it turned out they were actually in the UK running their scam thru some fictitious address in the US .

The "seller" often says he's out of the country, but his buddy can make the deal. A long while back, there was wonderful 1894 rifle, with NINE special order features, Deluxe .25WCF Takedown. He strung me along for the longest while. I was wandering down an aisle at the Baltimore show, and there was the gun. The real owner had no idea someone had stolen his pictures. I did the deal on the spot, and a week later sent the phony seller pictures and told him I found a better one. Crickets.

Whenever I see a gunbroker listing that I know is a scam, I like to hit the buy it now button to end the listing. Then I promptly leave negative feedback stating that the listing is a scam. Then I report the transaction to gunbroker and they will cancel the transaction within a few days. I am on the hook for nothing.

Wow, I always assumed guns.com was somehow in someway a scam. Either that or my money was being used to fund some nefarious organization.

Such a “seriously?” name for a website. But I suppose that domain probably gets a ton of searches…

I'm too old to think about buying more guns. I should be downsizing. My 2 grandsons won't shoot clays. They only want to shoot live birds. So I take them to Markover.
