Given the poor pics/less than full description I would have been stuck w/a gun that was worth significantly less than priced on line. Just one person’s experience but unless I can see a used gun in hand from them I won’t be purchasing any from them in the future on line. Not worth the risk to me. IMHO - doublenut

Exactly my point. I have been selling on the net for just shy of 20 years, in that time I have had two guns returned. One gentleman felt the gun was too heavy for his needs, the weight was stated in the add but I gladly refunded his money. The other chap was refunded too, he quickly decided he made a mistake and bought the gun again, he kept it the second time. I buy at auction all the time and take my chances. When I buy from a shop the price is usually higher and I expect more info, as well as a 3 day inspection. That has been standard operating policy on the internet for decades, Tony can do as he pleases but I sure would never buy a gun under those conditions from him.
