Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds How long am I responsible??

Sold a rifle "as is" on GB a couple of years ago. The new owner contacts me over a month later saying the rifle has an issue and the factory doesn't service them anymore. Was looking for me to pay for the repairs. I offered to refund his price and he could ship the rifle back to me covering the expenses. Never heard back from him again...

Lesson learned, some buyers are just looking for some money back on a purchase.

Please, I certainly did look at a long list of classified posts, not your entire history. Just saying, someone so active in our classifieds might hold himself to a higher level than to bushwhack his buyer in a preemptive strike.

Callout threads are never good for the OP. Buf, I believe you are right in the transaction, but I'm sure the current thread could have been better handled.

I'm sure this was disclosed prior to the sale; and even written in the add.


Oh poop

If I have to explain to you that a Volkswagen Beetle isn't a good choice to tow a 10,000 pound trailer, maybe you shouldn't be towing a trailer...

Non disclosure is deceitful, conniving,and fraudulent. You're off to ignore land.

Wow, there are some true characters here. Your cabin fever should be ending pretty soon. The beautiful sun is gonna shine again in Alaska in a couple of months.

what non disclosure? wow didnt realize i had to list what pressure loads must be used in the old guns i sell....fug me if you buy a 150 year old design and think you can hot rod it your an idiot.....well known that trapdoors are weaker, its why they have their own data in reloading manuals....i hear/read the term "trapdoor level loads" fairly often

If you knew as much about guns as you know about pot, you'd know that rifle isn't 150 years old. If its a piece of [bleep], spell it out in the add prior to sale. The add sure didn't say that.





and you jumped to conclusions about the ammo used. This is the sellers excuse for a non functioning weapon.

Ask your self what would safari man do?

question does this mean if i ever sell my Marlin Guide Gun to cover my arse i must put "gun can not handle loads designed for the Ruger #1"? its not like this is a heavily modified action made weaker or even an obscure single shot.....trapdoors are well known quantities *IF* Craigster shot heavy loads in it thats no ones fault but his own for not taking 30 seconds to learn bout the gun he bought.....

im guessing there is some other issue at play but even so 4 months is well beyond any implied warrenty.....no one in their right mind should be considered having to be held to it in any sale like this....phug me i could buy a rifle off here, take it hunting if im careful and call the seller after the season and claim there is a problem....if you want some sort of warranty part of that is you testing in a prompt manner....

watch4bear, Please put me back on ignore. I like your drunk azz better that way.

the basic design is from 1865, 150 years....modern metalurgy isnt gonna increase its strength any.....

metalurgy LOL...LOL

It was a misdirection to place the buyer at fault and throw doubt on his character.

Was it really? Your reading comprehension continues to amaze me.

If only his adds were that transparent.

Rattler is correct.

Watch4Bear, We are supposed to say in our ad "This rifle sucks" ???

after 4 months I think it is not your problem. Its a casual sale
