doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com OT: gun deal scams

keet, don no nuttin bout no a set toe lene torch colors...

have sold many guns in the past that have had new case colors applied by various people using various techniques and methodologies...never had a buyer complaint...and why would i?

Sure ed... what a timely example of a dishonest Liberal supporter of anti-gunners in denial of his own actions. Everyone who has spent any time here knows all about your torch-colored beauties with the grotesque heat colored swirls and bullseyes burned into the steel. Are you disappointed that your extreme anti-gun guy Michael Bloomberg dropped out of the race?

I wouldn't expect you to admit to any buyer complaints, and we've all heard about Gunbroker removing bad seller feedback. Speaking about bad feedback, here's a blast from the past:

Anti-Gun Posts by Ed Good

And this would seem to shoot down your claim that you never had a buyer complaint:

Bill Jaqua was as fine a dealer as I have ever known. There is (was) one in north Cincinnati who has been just as honest and decent as well. He is a bit of a pain in the butt to deal with sometimes but maybe that is normal. His son is not as straight as he is but still a above fellow in my books. The list of those who do not measure up is much longer. But when I dealt with those two I knew that it was a honest deal.

The one in Cincinnati sold guns for a widow without charge because he had dealt with her late husband for decades. Kind of a public service. Those were the same guns her late husbands friend told her he would take for a few thousand out of respect for her late husband but that he did not really want them for himself. They sold for 25K plus in total. Some buddies will screw your wife while you are alive and then after you are gone if you are not careful about your buddies.

Yup--know of a dealer (un-named for now) who "conned" a widow on some Parkers-- not AAHE or anything in that upper atmosphere of doublegundom-- but still, at the time he bought them, he paid her about 15% of what they would have fetched about 12 years ago.. I'll wager it would be easier to sell a 90% Trojan grade today at a fair market price, than to unload a BHE in the same condition.

I have bought good double guns (mainly Smiths) to use afield and shoot, not to re-sell later- One exception, I bought a 12 3E Smith, fully optioned, because it was cased with an extra set of 28" London steel ejector barrels and splinter forearm-- which Buck Hamlin fitted to a Grade 4E 12 that was missing barrels and FE. When I sold the gun, about a year ago to a forum member here, it had the later set of 32" barrels, BT forearm, and the factory ventilated rib Simmonds developed in about 1926== I have a Ideal Grade Long Range ejector dt Smith- 32" barrels, and as I am not a fan of ventilated ribs on side-by-side guns, it was an easy call.

My trusted huntong and shooting son-in-law, who lives nearby, has a copy of my entire gun inventory, and will handle with power of attorney, disposition of same, after I shuffle off this earth-hopefully, some time from now. He is a "south-paw" so my BA rifles might find new owners, but not today. RWT

keet, your post above is so full of deviously deceptive and dishonest innuendo, dat hit aint worthy of my response...

an you too, are really "a terrible reporter"...

Ed, the only dishonesty is that which is coming from you. You said that you never had a buyer complaint, and I easily found one to prove you weren't being honest with us. Within that thread, quite a few people had a problem with your gun selling practices. I never saw the gun that was said to be loose, but having seen and heard you tell us about your so-called return policy, I have no reason to doubt the buyer.

That said, in my opinion, we have plenty of reasons to doubt your word. That was exactly why I decided to save as many anti-gun posts as I could from you and your friend King. You two frequently denied your own words, and claimed to be pro-gun. And I learned that even when I posted your own anti-gun words in a QUOTE with the post number and date you said it, you two would still try to deny your own words. In fact, your friend King even went so far as to say he had never seen any evidence of anti-gun sentiment posted here... even when you said things like this:







It is precisely because of guys like you King, and rocky mtn bill, that anti-gun Democrats can point to us and say that even gun owners want more restrictions on the gun rights of law abiding citizens.

For you guys to claim that you are on our side, as you work to undermine our Constitutional 2nd Amendment Rights, well, that is the biggest gun scam in history.

keet, for the record, what i said is i never had a buyer complaint in the context of selling guns with redone case colors...

deceptively, you dug up a seven year old controversy, from an unidentified source, that has nothing to do with case colors...and if you read the beginning of the thread, which you deceptively did not link to above, it is unclear as to who the complainer really is, or by this time, perhaps was...

dig up something more current, if you can, and perhaps i will respond...otherwise, go blow smoke elsewhere...many of us are on to your terrible deceptive reporting...maybe you should be working for cnn...or do you already?

Sure but ed, you did show pictures of those, ah, interesting colors?

of course, how can one sell guns without lots of pictures? and, with regard to case colors and other things, beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder...

and my job is not to judge erm, it is to sell erm and keep erm sold, so my consignment customers get paid...have been very successful at doing that for going on forty years now...

What you refer to as redone case colors are not case colors at all ed. Case colors are a byproduct of the case hardening process. If you wish to convince folks that you are not deceptive, stop calling the crap you pawn off on the uneducated as "case colors".

We've seen plenty of examples of your guns that had grotesque torch colors. The best complaints about your torch colors are those that have come from gun buyers who have commented hundreds of times here that they think your torch colored guns are ugly at best, and desecration at worst. I'm talking about those here who would not buy such crap from you. And we've also seen some guns that you sold that had top levers bent such that they would appear to be right of center. I guess you might call that marketing, but your beauties and your return policy have been the subject of quite a few threads. And guess what ed... among this crowd of guys, who mostly know a thing or two about double guns... you don't exactly have a stellar reputation.

I didn't do that to you... you've done that to yourself. I only bring it up because of all the anti-gun crap you have posted here. You keep saying you won't respond to me, but there you go again. I'll be waiting for you next non-response!
