I haven't dog piled on any of these Safariman threads but damn dude.......you really need to step back from the classifieds for a while and rethink what the he'll you are doing here. The issues with the items you sell and the issues with the transactions after you sell stuff is like a broken record. And please stop telling everyone about your health issues, it's pretty clear that the sympathy factor has long since worn out. +1 +2; good post. Here on the 'fire, it is all about reputation and honesty. If there have been any misunderstandings in the past, it is all the more reason with classified ads to give concise descriptions and sharp pictures, along with prompt and clear answers to all questions. If you don't, regardless of your intent it appears that you are being, at best, evasive. While obviously anyone can buy and sell here, I personally am a bit more leery of sellers who clearly churn equipment for a profit.

I don't mind someone turning a little profit, but dammit, be honest with us!!! When we ask for a LOP, give it to us. When we ask for a serial # for confirmation, give it to us!!!! When we ask for better pics, you know what this is leading to. Don't beat around the fn bush. That's what I have a problem with!!!

At the very least, leave the outright lies and pure made-up BS out of the ads.

I doubt anyone will ever see a legitimate sn.If you do see one it will be made up to match the original description,after the rifle is sold to an outside party.

VERY good point about laying off of all this stuff while I am so busy and until I can provide more details and maybe some beeter pictures.
Pulling this one off of the market here, might be stuch with it, not a bad thing entirely. could become a quite nifty 22/243ai OR 22/6MMai for my grandkids to use and hunt with.

This just keeps getting better! I truly hope you're not stuck with it, since you "spent money you didn't have to get them " and " need to sell them quick like". Good Lord man.
Oh, and believe it or not, deer bite. Fairly hard.

The drama continues. safariman, why do you continue digging a deeper hole? I know you are a nice guy but you need better marketing.

Nice guy! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. You must've forgot about selling me a "collector grade rifle" with bedding compound smeared on the bluing. How many others have you screwed? And you have the balls to hang around here needling people. Really, it was sold as "collectors grade"? And why don't you tell the audience exactly how much time had gone by before you started your whining; better than a year after you received the rifle, so it must've been a huge issue, right? Had to dig a ways back to find this one (2006), but here it is: https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbth...Re_Sako_L461_Vixen_Deluxe_222#Post848301Tell you what Bill, box it up and tell me where to send your refund and I'll have it in the mail tomorrow. Never should've sold that rifle in the first place. Unfortunately, I didn�t notice the issue when I picked up the rifle. Whoever did the bedding did a pretty good job of cleaning it up but enough got on the barrel and action that it left a light haze on the bluing and there was a little stain on the stock at the front of the action. To be honest it was extremely hard to see unless you looked at it in direct light. I put the gun in my safe and forgot about it for a while until I bought a Riihimaki Deluxe and decided to sell the Vixen. The guy who bought the Vixen from me noticed the compound and returned the gun to me. I contacted GW at that point and was told that too much time had gone by since the sale. I ended up selling the rifle at a loss. Maybe it was an honest mistake but I didn�t appreciate the tone of the response. Now I notice that GW is part of the judge and jury team for the classified section � seems a little ironic to me.

That judge and jury team you mock is trying to police our own campfire classifieds to expose the serial liars and cheaters so it will be a safe place to shop.

Just rewrite the Ad. Put pre-64 Model 70 Winchester FWT .308, AS IS, and your price.

Wow,
now the story is....
You never saw a problem with the gun after receiving it.
You later sold it.
Still no problem.
Someone else gets the gun (wondering here who was calling it collector grade now).
"Someone else" says they have an issue.....
Maybe "someone else" botched the bedding job and now sees a way "out", after ruining the "collector grade".
In this example A YEAR LATER, after A YEAR of you being happy,
and I find out you sold the gun anyway, I would not be interested in refunding your money either.

I think < 1 year return policy is ample. Your time ran out Bill.
Really not busting your balls, just chalk it up as a lesson learned. Take the rifle outside in daylight and look it over good. No need to call out the seller on a 2006 transaction. That rifle was probably still worth what you paid for it.

From this thread I have:
Learned some interesting details about Pre-64 fwt.
Found one member I would never buy from.
Found one member I would never sell to.
It's not much for the time in reading, but at least I have a little to show!

And if you sold it for $825.00 ($150.00 loss) as you indicate in your PM, you're a bigger moron than I originally thought.
