Fox, It shouldn't matter what sex the seller is...but you were talking about Women , & not very nicely either..not guys with chick names.. as in "Femmes" in your post. Never mind about people with names that could be taken either way..why shouldn't women, by your "Blue bonnet blazzes" be able or allowed to sell or auction guns in your world...? you still have not answered my question..? Did.nt know Carrol O'Connor, but I believe I'm talking to a meat head here  Franc Otte

Franc, RWTF's views on women are regularly displayed here. I must say, every time he does, I'm surprised at his narrow view of what's appropriate. So now, I just sit back and chuckle about the life he would have his daughters and granddaughters live and how that fits with the lives they actually live. My guess is they love their Dad/Grampa but don't pay too much attention to him for advice and wisdom about being a successful woman in today's world.
But that's just a guess.
The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia

Guys: Personally as the father of two daughters [one an avid shooter],I want to go on the record to say that on more than one occasion Fox has bent over backwards to sell me items for my daughter's rifle(s) projects while others stood by and at more than generous prices, to help me get my daughter behind the trigger. While he may have said something, not "politically correct" [who hasn't?] and he's more tongue in cheek, than he cares to admit. What's sad, is his statement is also probably more in tune with a lot of dealers, than any of us care to admit. Anyway, isn't this about an unscrupulous Auction House? p.s. I tried their contact info just a while ago and it keeps failing due to excessive traffic...wonder why? HTH

one of my consignment customers and myself have purchased from Watson's auction house. so far so good. items have all been as advertised...
once again though, buying without a return option is a crap shoot. if you are not willing to take the risk of getting burned now and then, don't buy where you have no return privilege.
keep it simple and keep it safe...

I am no expert, but I doubt that you could have the engraving done today for what you paid for that rifle.
That is not the point, I know, but it is a darned nice gun...

HTH "tongue in cheek" implies humor - nothing funny in what he said. sometimes "politically incorrect" is actually wrong, too dealers?! - yeah, let's cast a baseless insinuation on them, even though uninvolved, if it helps make the point. what was the point? perhaps some of the descriptions used to open this thread could be seen as advantageously chosen to "sell" your point but probably not unscrupulous…if you truly had a problem with transaction, which you admit you don't, seems the right thing would be to attempt to resolve it with the other party BEFORE trashing them in a public forum

I agree, I am obviously willing to do that, I just felt people should know my experience, in case THEY weren't.
