"May be returned within three days of date of delivery no questions asked."
"May be returned within three days of date of delivery if not as described."
"As is--cannot be returned."
"May be returned within three days if not as described at which time a $60 restocking fee will be deducted from price."
"Seller didn't specify."
"3-day return privilege."
If I thought the gun was worth the trouble, I know which of these statements of policy are unambiguous, which demand clarification, which invite negotiation. I've put them in order as a helpful clue.

I still can't understand that, the man buys the 26 inch barrels, finds out they are too whippy or whatever, wants to send them back, it is inside the 3 day and seller won't do it. Hum hum hum

I sell and buy items over the net all the time...
......in addition to reimbursing his shipping and insurance costs to you. As the seller, do you pay shipping and insurance costs? In this case, as virtually always, shipping and insurance was paid by the buyer. Why should the seller be reimbursed?

It's called the 3 day inspection with the hidden clause "just don't plan on returning it".

Precise language is desirable in ads. After the buyer and seller have done the hokey-pokey, I doubt if a verbal agreement (say as to the meaning of "three day inspection and right of return") could be determined even to exist without a witness and who's that gonna be--Sprint? Get it in writing or don't whine when your gentleman's agreement turns to dust in the wind. Or, go against the grain, buy only from pawnshops with "rusty guns" in the letterhead and be pleasantly surprised. Actually happened to me buying an Elvis-y Smith
19-3. I'm so lucky!!

Hi John,
I enjoyed talking with you.
Hope we can get together.
Just to confirm our conversation, I will take $1350 for the Uggie .410. That will include shipping and insurance to your FFL. 3 day inspection period will apply. Shipping both ways would be at your expense, if returned.
Rabbit the "witness" is Mr.Leggs email..  If Mr.Legg is not willing to take the gun back....why did he include the words "if returned" in his email ?

In this case he hates 26" barrels and wants to return it though he knew they were 26" barrels.Many say if its with in three it should be Ok but how about if he said he didn't like SxS guns and wanted to send it back. Same thing in my book so WTF buy something you know you don't like. Good leason on how not to waste someones time and effort just to hold a different gun and send it back.
