So.... we were all due for one of these.

 

Decided to purchase from the seller, before the other bad transaction posted, his Mauser 24/47 and Marlin 795.

 

Had the firearms shipped to my ffl, and ammo and the rest of the things shipped to me, and I had even sent a prepaid fedex label for them.

400 rounds of ammo, turned into 160 rounds of ammo that were received. The firearm was described as excellent, however had a little bit of rusting in the lands of the rifling, and missing screws on the hardware.

 

The Marlin was "like new" with a few hundred rounds fired, however it doesnt even look cleaned and the top rail for the scope was scratched up... bad.

 

It also came with "alot" of ammo, which turned into 250 rounds of Federal 22LR, and 100 rounds of remington... all in all, $20 worth of walmart ammo.

 

Lastly missing was the bore snake that was to be included.

 

I quickly contacted the buyer to get this resolved, I felt having him credit me back $75 would be more than fair for the missing ammo, bore snake, shipping that I overpaid for fedex and misrepresentation of the firearm.

 

Here is my recent correspondence to the seller...

 

Quote:Tyler, I received the firearms and ammo today. I am totally disappointed and was misled. Not even going to mention the fact that the firearms were not in the condition as you described, but since when is 160 rounds of ammo 400 rounds? I paid shipping based on that size of a package, so not only did you mislead me, but I ended up overpaying on the ammo shipping too.

 

By my count, I have overpaid by close to $75, considering a case of 8mm is $99 for 400 rounds, not even going to mention the "lots of 22 lr ammo" which turned out into 250 rounds of cheap walmart federal ammo and a box of remington.

 

Let me know that you paypal the difference back to me by later today, before I file complaints and the whole transaction will get reversed on you.

 

 

His replies to me where

 

What? Firearms are in perfect shape where are you coming from

Not to mention shipping is calculated byweight so stop whining

 

Doesn't even acknowledge the fact that he lied about ammo and missing accessories. Hopefully he will make this right.

Make the complaint, then tell him to stop whining afterwards :liar:

Poor college kid and I am too nice of a guy. He is most likely going to return $70 back for the missing ammo and boresnake.

that would be acceptable, good luck

If he does not make good, post pictures of the stuff as received along with his description...

 

Did he not have photos? Did you really buy firearms sight unseen??

I saw the pictures. The firearms were more or less ok, it is mostly the missing ammo and accessories. In the pictures he sent, you couldnt really see the missing screws. :roll:

Well well, after 50 emails, just got a notice that he refunded back $70 for the missing items.

 

Face to face > internet

Face to face > internet

 

True dat.

while i agree that you had a right to be irritated.. one thing i have learned when buying online is this.. when the person uses words like "a lot" or "a bunch of" one of two things happens.. the seller can either count it out, OR he can error on the light side and charge me for LESS than he KNOWS he has..all in all i have seen people screwed a thousand times worse than you were so i would say you got lucky.. hey at least you got $70 back.. :clap:

Face to face you can always say "No Thanks."

that is why I am not even talking about the 22lr ammo.

 

 

but since when is 400 rounds of 8mm = 162?

Simple math eludes some folks - similar to simple grammar.
