Have any member ever participate and won a budsgunshop.com firearms auctions?

 

I question the legitimacy of this auction.

I was winning a rifle bidding last night but was outbid by $1 at the end.

(I am not sore about the losing as I realized I should be starting putting away college funds for the kids).

The reason I am question was because all my bids in the last 10 seconds (which was all higher than the $1 that won) was not accepted.

The system responded that “BID NOT ACCEPTED!!! A Higher Bid for this Item has Already been Placed” which was not true.

 

Tonight, I notice a bidding for a Kel-Tec RFB 308 Win High Effeciency Rifle Forward-Ejection Bullp” started at $2 and now is at $100000000 ???

Any thoughts?

Do they have an "auto bid" function similar to Gunbroker?   If so, you would've had to keep increasing your bid until you surpassed the other bidders max bid setting. 

I can't speak for that site, but if it is anything like other auctions, the seller can have his buddy trump you at the last minute in case the price isn't high enough, and there is no way to prove otherwise.  Although you could watch to see if the item is relisted and that could be telling.

Why your higher bids would be rejected is a mystery.  Possibly the seller is just batsh*t crazy.

were you drunk last night? double vision? the current price is $1701 for that item.

 

I never used buds auctions, so i cant really comment, but it sounds like they have a buggy system.

 

Typically you put in your highest bid, and it will automatically increase by the bid increments until you hit the max bid. Also the bid history is right there for you to check out.

It looks like the auction is held by budsgunsshop.com itself (not 3rd party or private party).

There are no auto bid functions (max ceiling)  - just single bids. 

 

Any way, I wrote them an nice email and now it is upon investigation and review.

I will keep everyone posted if any thing comes out of it.

 

Thx.
