Most of my horror stories have been with so-called reputable double gun dealers....

My opinion on three day inspection is that the gun should be returnable for any reason. I would never buy a gun on this site or GB or any other that doesn't allow me to decide if I want to keep the gun or return it. However this should be clearly understood by both the buyer and seller.

I've always thought that a return "just because I don't like it" needs to be agreed on ahead of time, and specifically. Other than that an inspection period is just to be sure it is in the condition it was described.
I also don't put much faith at all in a first poster that comes on here and scalds a very reputable member. This should have been handled somewheres else in my opinion.

Maybe Jim could get Dave to put up a pOle...

I think 22eley got the 26" 410 shaft so to speak. A person that has sold the gun should honor the 3 day return policy, period. The old WHAT ARE YOU RETURNING THIS GUN FOR YOU SOB, is just not right. But some guys try to intimidate other guys with that crap. And it seems that might be the case here. If 22eley doesn't like the barrels for any reason even because they remind him of his mother in law, that should be a good enough reason.

If someone asks why are you returning the gun, just tell them, that I just don't like it. Like this case you give Legg the real reason and he takes the "that reason does not count under my return policy" path. Jim, ya, it is a pain in the hind side to ship back and forth, but that's business.

Here's the item in question....I don't see a buyer listed ?

I do not have a dog and this fight and should refrain from commenting, but....buying a gun is a personal thing, especially a double. I am sure most of you feel this way or you would not be on this site. (I checked, I preceed Mr. Jim but have not made near as many posts.) PERSONALLY, when I buy a gun based on photos or ANYONE's description if I do not like it, for WHATEVER reason, I expect to be able to return it. (And I have done so several times.) It has cost me shipping both ways but so far all transactions have gone well. I recently sold a Model 21 via this board and actually met the man in Atlanta and gave it to him in person. I told him he STILL had three days to shoot it, inspect it, have someone else inspect it and he could return it for full refund, no questions asked. As Mr. Bill would say, all good.

I've been shopping in all the wrong places but I've got Brent and Tyler at the top of my short list now!

I side with the fellow who wants to return the gun for any reason W/I the 3 day notice period. Seller is playing "gots-yah" here is is not complying with spirit of 3 policy and he knows it. I will never deal with him.

joe, the initial post indicates they agreed upon a price with shipping that was below the auction price. i'd assume the sale was made w/o someone actually clicking a button on gunbroker (and i'm not in any way implying anything which could be construed as in any way attempting to cheat gunbroker out of their fees. things happen outside auctions all the time - nothing wrong with that). the fact that the sale took place is not even in dispute. jim's already stated as much.

one thing that does puzzle me tho is how this buyer determined that the seller was a member on this board that quickly, a matter of days. you don't just stumble across that.
