<and if you have ever been in a retail business, as is gunbroker, you will realize that buying and selling with the general public can sometimes be a less than satisfactory experience. so, those experiences over the years teaches one what works and what to do and what not do to, in order to avoid those less than satisfactory experiences in the future>.
Ed I am in the retail business...I have given some big refunds for some stupid reasons....but I can tell you one thing for sure.. If you have a dissatisfied customer and don't give the customer a refund you will never see them again......99% of the time.

Sorry to butt into this battle but I wanted to get members opinion on this subject. I have seen guns listed for sale on the web that have a non firing, non disassembly, 3 day inspection period. Is that reasonable for a vintage gun? I have a 100 yr old gun I am considering selling and I would not want a potential customer taking it apart.

Ed is far from being in the "retail" business like you are :
He does mail order only (he can hold the buyers funds/feedback hostage).
He has NO retail store front,NO business hrs (once again in violation of ATF regs for a dealer)
And he will NOT allow hands on inspection of guns in person before purchase !
Ed tell us How many forums have you been BANNED from ????

But Cabelas, SKB, and Arrieta2 sell to the same public you do. And they agree with us. No doubt that group of firearms dealers sells many times more guns than you do. So it seems you are wrong.
and who was it that said: "if you tell lies long enough and often enough, people will begin to believe them? "
You?
I am glad to be here.

The real issues are "Full Disclosure" and "Misrepresentation". A statement like "RECEIVER CASE COLORS HAVE BEEN SAFELY RESTORED TO NEAR ORIGINAL BRIGHT APPEARANCE." is a subjective statement and is a clear misrepresentation. As is a photograph of a toplever to the right due to the action being slightly open. Full disclosure would have been noting the receiver had been recolored using a gas torch, and a photograph of the toplever with the action closed. As would have been noting the width of any gaps in the action.

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.

cept, the receiver was not recolored using a gas torch. and the action is fully closed in all photos... 61, like some others here, you are quick to jump to negative conclusions, when all you have to do is ask questions... think about it...if i utilized deceptive selling pratices, would that not be reflected in my gunbroker feedback? http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewUserFeedback.aspx?User=128526

screw your feedback Ed,
here I will type in " special ed letters"
HOW MANY FORUMS HAVE YOU BEEN TOSSED OFF ????
WHY DO YOU HIDE THE TRUE LEVER POSITION BY LEAVING THE ACTION OPEN ?
WHY MAIL ORDER ONLY-TO AVOID HANDS ON INSPECTION ?
WHY HIDE THE MESSED UP SCREWS FROM THE TARTED UP GUNSMITH ?
