ky: so, first you suggest buyer and seller in question appear to be in cahouts, due to purely circumstantial evidence...shame on you for trashing their reps here...

and then you claim gunbroker and gunauction customer service are non responsive to buyers...do you have any experience to support your claim? if so, please do relate it here...

meantime, i have been a buyer on both gunbroker and gunauction for in excess of 10 years now...i have had problems with sellers on both sites who refuse to follow the rules...in all cases customer service was responsive to my complaints and helped resolve seller issues to my satisfaction...pm for details, if you like...

keep it simple and keep it safe...
