Believe you me, if I ever list another gun for sale here, MY terms will leave no wiggle room for "hopeful" interpretation to wit:

FS: 10-owner klunquer, spent more time on show tables than it did in the field, about yea long and yea heavy, stock cranked down to a faretheewell (Gramps knew how to make a long face!), shiny where it ain't pitted, blued where it ain't worn off, smooth where it ain't dented, fully functional as a door prop, not real pretty but it is old, may be one of the thousands of I believe there were only two ever made, eminently eligible for de-encrustation. Always kept safed in a burlap bag between the joists. Additional aerial photographs available. What you see is what you get except for the house slippers. All offers local or extra-planetary, before, during or after this multi-listed auction considered so winning bidder(s) need not entertain unrealistic expectations. 3-day inspection and right of return beginning I'll tell you when later, (some) money back no questions asked; restocking fee 25% of sale price or 50% whichever is higher and dependent on how much ruckus you want to make. Address: Wabbit, The Burrow (next door to The Veggies).

My decision to return (as a buyer) or accept a return (as a seller) always revolves around "what goes around comes around". I sold an A. H. Fox which I had owned and shot for several years. The buyer emailed me about a week after receiving it (WITH PHOTOS) telling me the left barrel let go right in front of the chamber! He stated he was using new AA traploads and included a photo of the shell both in and out of the split barrel. He sent the gun and the remainder of the unfired shells to be analyzed. Apparently the barrel had an internal flaw when manufactured - not my fault or his. I offered to refund his money, even though I felt I had no personal liability. When the folks who did the analysis shipped the gun back to him, the stock and receiver were severely damaged. Long story short, he collected more than he paid for the gun from the carrier, it cost me nothing and we were both happy. It could have gone in an ugly direction.

Wouldn't be suprised to find out that the guy is one of the Jim haters from this forum just looking for a way to rag on Jim. My problem is some of the folks doing to ragging have screwed over other members here like the case of a member sayin that would be great if you could send me one of those and the other member does for free and never even get a thank you. You can't buy a shotgun and then say I hate shotguns I want my money back as I only like pistols. Jim you didn't send the gun to tennessee did you.

Nick, i knew it was tongue in cheek. i was just razzing you.

As some of your may know, I have been in the gun business on my own for 30 years.

I give 3 day inspection. Period! I don't care if the guy sees pictures of the wood and then buys the gun and says that the wood was not that nice or what. I take it back. If I said it had 26" barrels and he purchased it and said it did not work out for him, I would take it back. If in the description it said it had 26" barrels and he was surprised it had 26" barrels when he got it I would take it back, but since it was his mistake, misunderstanding, I expect him to pay the postage both ways.

I think what I have said above is fair.

Amigo Will, I fear everyone may have thought of that.

mmmmmmmmmm that is why I buy guns from John Boyd.

Lapin, your last post is by far the best on this thread!

P.S.: "I am going to inspect if I like it"; don't think so.

I don't know either party, and so am not judging the intentions, honesty, etc., of each. And, usually, such disagreements are due to honest miscommunication by both parties rather any bad intentions, but . . .

Verbal contracts may suffice for face-to-face transactions, but have no place in online transactions. And, specifying an inspection period in writing, and then limiting it in a non-written way (i.e. verbally, etc.) is misleading to the Buyer.

Another perspective is that the Seller is free to write the conditions of sale any way he wants. Therefor, it is the Seller's responsibility if terms are omitted from the writing, and the Buyer is not liable for the Seller's omission.

JMHO, etc.

John, yes that sounds perfectly fair. if the buyer simply doesn't like it, shipping both ways is his responsibility. if there's something i missed and it wasn't described accurately then it's mine. that's why to this day i can't stand jaqua's and won't have anything to do with them. $65 total shipping to look at a salt wood browning described as problem free showed up with visible rust (and lots of hidden rust) and then i got yelled at by some old coot for wanting to send it back.
