Italianguy, the deal took place off of gunbroker. No gunbroker rules apply. Jim made a promise by email, decided he was dealing with an idiot, decided not to honor his promise. When I make a deal with an idiot, not knowing he is an idiot, all bets are off if I think he won't sue me. When a person turns into an idiot (or a woman) after I try to deal with him in good faith, I will do what I have to do to remain whole after the deal is over. As I said in a previous post, I don't think there is much chance of that gun coming back in the same condition in which it was sent. OK, so most of us don't like Jim. I still think he did what he had to do.
