I have bought more guns over the internet than I should have. Many were on auction site but a few were from dealers. Most were about what I expected. A few were far from the described gun. About half of them were better than described. If I was unhappy I sent them back if the problem was too great.
Some problems are worse than others. Like the Sterlingworth with which shrunk from the expected 12 to a better than expected 16 in shipping. When I called the seller he said he did not know it was a 16 but that was my tough luck. He had an "iron tight" no return policy. I did not bother to tell him that I figured the gun was worth more in a 16 gauge. Let him figure he screwed me, I kept the gun.
If I called a dealer and asked specific questions I expect honest answers. Should a dealer deliberately lie I consider it fraud by deception.
