I do not mean to hijack this thread Cal. If he does not have an FFL, then he needs to get one. If he is transporting modern firearms that do not belong to him across state line, and with the intent to sell, then he is violating a few federal laws that will get him extra vacation time at the Hotel Graybar.

I won't be going in there anytime soon.

It is not my business to divulge the seller but to do this makes him a skunk. And, he is known to all of us.

I would be pissed. Look how they cropped this photo on GunsInternational to not show the tang chip. What a joke. This should not cost you one penny to sort this out.

I don't recall seeing that pic - I didn't go back and look at the ad - I have faith that it was an oversight.

Agreed. I find it extremely hard to believe you could take that pic and not see that chip.

Well… I shipped it back to him this morning - Waiting for him to reply to my emails. No response, as of yet. He did say he was unavailable for Christmas (obviously, understandable).

I just went back and took a close look at the pics in the ad.

I'll wait to hear what he's going to do.

I too found the listing and saw the precisely cropped photos.

This is a bad guy.

Still waiting for a reply - He said he would be back in his shop yesterday. +1 day

Well… It looks like my little saga is coming to end.

The seller and I have come to agreement on this issue. He agreed to send me a project gun and additional money to compensate me for my trades. All in all I feel as though I am coming out on the right side of this deal.

Do I think he was in the wrong; Yes. Do I think he did the right thing to amicably resolve the issue; Yes! Do I think all of this could have been avoided; Yes. Do I think this seller is reputable; Yes.

I'll watch for the gun to be re-listed with an accurate description - I have no doubt this was an oversight.

I very much appreciate all of your input and support.

Cheers!

Not sure if he's a bad guy or not, but his guns are always hideously overpriced. Glad it worked out for your.

How does he sell anything in your opinion, if his pricing is so "off"?

I would imagine he either sells for less than the advertised price or he waits for clients who don't care what the price tag is. The man has some amazing guns for sure. I'm not knocking him at all. I'm just saying his prices aren't what I'd call reasonable. Kind of like you don't shop at Galazans if you're looking for a bargain. It is what it is.

I get you now.
