I gave him negative feedback. I’ll out myself. He PMd me he wanted to buy the 10/22 I had listed. I marked it sale pending and told 3 different people they were sold. Then he PMd me this morning to say he changed his mind.
Try to get away with that on Gunbroker and they’ll kick you off the site.
Thanks, here are all our PM’s, verbatim and others can decide. CN He assumed “Sounds great” was “I’m going to buy your rifle.” I’ll thus assume that his “outing himself” is license to publish the PM’s we exchanged.
Me, Friday 5:45pm
“Sounds great. What’s your schedule next few days? I’ll be driving out from Boston.” And my name, email and cell #
Him Friday 5:52pm
“Let me know when you want to be here and I’ll be here. We can do the transfer at my house if you like.” (No address, no contact info)
Me Sat 7:07am
“Wherever you like. Let me see what the kids are up to, should be able to come out this morning if that works for you.”
Him 8:38am Sat
“Morning is great.”
Me, Sat 10:18am (Still no address or phone # from him)
“Talked to my son, who is a lefty, and he wants to stick with his LH bolt action for now. GLWS”
Him 11:12am “OK”
Me, 12:45 Sat (after noticing negative feedback)
“Guess I should have been more clear that I was only coming to look at it, and had not committed to buying it sight unseen.
Guess it goes without saying you never provided a location or any contact info. That’s what I get for dealing with Milennials.”
Him 1:20pm
“I’m 54 and you said ‘I’ll take it.’”
Me 1:27pm
“You are wrong. Look at all the text above and show me where it says, “I’ll take it.” I said “It sounds great.” That is not a commitment to purchase a rifle sight unseen.
Explain how am I supposed to buy it when I didn’t know where you live?”
Then he went radio silent.
