He has a lot more patience than I do, I would have thrown up mu hands,screemed, and thrown the brass and stripper into the bush.

This is what happens when people with university degrees in computer science get jobs with people who's only aim in life is to make money at all other peoples expense , and then presume to know more than all other people ( just read "E-Bay management" for the last bit )

Anyone who has ever talked to a computer geek type will know that they are not from this planet , and are incapable of normal thought processes - otherwise they would have a real job wouldnt they ?

E-Bay has to be the most ego-centric self-serving organisation the internet has spawned.If there was any halfpie reasonable alternative I for one would not use the system at all . Seems that it is ok to sell knives but not ammunition - hard to follow the reasoning there .

Anyway , I thought the seller had more patience than I would have managed and with a sense of humour like that he will outlast the dorks that presume to make rules for us other mortals .

I would have been tempted to click on "contact us" on the web sight. Put the rifle in the truck
and drive out to demonsteate the difference between new,never fired, live,and once fired. Guess which would have been the most fun.

At risk of being rude to you yanks - this bullsh*t comes from your countrymen , saving you all from yourselves .

How long before sufficient of you stand up and say "enough " ? Or are there too few of you guntotin' types left ? Seems the nanny-state mentallity is everywhere thesedays .

Not an attack on yanks mind , but an observation..

Don't hold back Muzza....what do you really think of them?

Just sent hin a "good onya",he's not the first to have a war of words with the antigun epay geeks.

Bakes ,
Rather ironic that when I clicked on your link to Ebay it was blocked by my Norton antivirus software . Apparently it is a sex act !

And they usually have the conversational skills of a gnat unless you spark some obscure thought process in their numbed brains from playing fantasy games on the net all night.

Muzza,

I tote a 3" Kimber .45 EVERYDAY and EVERYWHERE How about you?



I do not like e-bays ways any better than you. But it is a private business and they get to run it the way they want. Some compition would either, make them change there ways or they loose out to the better service. Care to start up a world wide auction site.

I do not like the BS about exporting gun related items out of the US.(post 9/11) It makes no sence to me, a terrorist who wants to do something is not going to pick up small items by over seas mail.

Just my .02

A sex act hey You guys in WA need to get out more

The first thing thought that popped into my mind was "Bad Ass"! derf

HogKiller -

maybe I am lucky that I dont need to carry a handgun on a regular basis ....guess I will have to try harder to run out of friends.

Actually your ability to carry a gun is not relevant to the E-Bay discussion , we all "have" to abide by the laws of the country we reside in , just as we all know that a brass .303 case is hardly likely to start a war or hijack a plane .

Here in New Zealand we have an on-line auction house that allows us to list live ammo , and complete firearms ( although interestingly they have just stopped listing handguns )and I use that site for locating many hunting related bits . So far they seem very easy to deal with , and have not got moralistic about anything gun related .

Unfortunately my computer skills finish at sending emails and posting the occassional picture here , so that counts me out for starting any sort of competition to E-Bay , but please , give it your best shot .

Muzza,

I am no better at operating one of these damn PCs, than you are.

As I posted above, I do not like BS gun laws, corprate rules against guns and related items, etc.


As for going armed everyday, I look at it the same way as having a spare tire for the vehical. Glad to have, hope to hell that I do not need it. Having lots of friends or few friends, has nothing to do with it.
