AaronD Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) Item 577721081, transferable 1919 was for sale on gunbroker last week. I reached out initially via gunbrokers query link to ask the seller a question. Below is the email chain of our conversation since the initial inquiry. I thought I was on track to go up to Maryland this coming Saturday to provide funds and inspect the item. To my amazement item 579181605 is on sale on gunbroker this week. Exact same pictures, and description. Sure he could have more than 1 for sale but since he didn't call me and hasn't responded since repost the exact same ad, I am calling bullshit. Buyer beware. I am confused. I thought we had a deal, so why is the item back on gunbroker? I am posting our email chain to subguns and sturmgewher and let the NFA community judge you.

I am in XXXXXXX VA and could personally deliver funds and inspect the item. I am a resident of AZ so I would have to transfer to a dealer there. Is it on a form 3 or form 4? 1919 does really fit what I have been collecting but I figured with a tripod and t/e, it would be the best platform to introduce my kids on. Just let me know. >> >> >> Thanks, >> >> Aaron Dempsey >> >> Sent from my iPad >> >> On Aug 20, 2016, at 11:37 PM, BRIAN WALKER wrote: >> >>> Will run belts or links.

I won't ask about our reserve since I find it a touchy subject when asking sellers. I am in the neighborhood of 17k.

Born loser...in Montana Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) Seems like a legitimate seller to me.... did you actually speak with him? Try to arrange face to face meeting / inspection/payment . Then bid on auction and win. The seller has a three day inspection/ return agreement listed in auction. Some sellers feel safer using the auction site. Good luck Edited August 24, 2016 by Born loser...in Montana Grammar chk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XR Ordnance LLC Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 That auction has been ended last I seen, may have just been set up for an auto-relist, I would try contacting him again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronD Posted August 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 We have resolved the issue. I have received communication with the dealer. Dealer stated the listing was on auto-list and due to his schedule of his day job he was unreachable and just missed that the auto-listing was there.
