I have had very BAD experience with Vintage Firearms of Grand Rapids (Jay Shachter).

I sent a cased double shotgun to be on consignment for sale with them. There were no cracks in the forend wood when they received it. There was no correspondence by them or mention to me about any cracks or wood issues at any time.

They had my gun for over two years without selling it. I agreed to lower the price a couple times to generate interest.

When I requested return of the gun, I received an invoice for wood repairs along with being billed for expenses for them taking photos and listing on his website (which was never discussed previously) totaling just under $1000!

I paid the bill under protest with Jay just to get my gun returned.

When I received the gun, it's hard case was not included, only the gun alone. I called about it. They said they couldn't find it.

Beware if you consider doing any business with them.
