A box of 308 Marlin Express.
Daughters boyfriend was given them when he tried to buy 308,
didn't notice untill they wouldn't chamber. (I know)
Made an inquiry about value for him, they had been bought before
things went nuts. I was hoping inflation would allow him to under price going rate, but recoup his money.
Anyway, after some time a member inquired if i had them and price.
The boyfriend didn't know what he wanted.
Back and forth, the guy finally tendered an offer.
Boyfriend took it.
Got shipping address for boyfriend, and....nothing.
Boyfriend couldn't get to PO, folks were afraid to ship ammo.
Buyer is very patient, but inquiring.
Finally had the schidts of it, got the ammo, built an overengineered box
at work. Tried to get a guy from work to ship it UPS, save a nickel.
He was scared also. I explained how it was done and no extra fee.
Apologetic, but scared, No!
Took it the a private shipping place. They whacked him around $8 above
UPS just to print the label. Figured if they had to print the warning label,
It would cost a fortune, so I told then it was metal parts.
About this time, I find out there is a second box of ammo.
No way am I going to throw that up to the buyer, ask for more
money, more trust at this point! Gotta get my hands clean of the shidt show!
Package arrived, buyer was happy,
Boyfriend seemed disappointed in the price/shipping, I'm glad
he didn't complain. I'd have went ballistic.
Good kid, but he sure wasn't much help,when I was helping him.
The buyer was great.
I would have killed the deal.
All of the BS sure made the transaction look shady as heck.
If you are reading this, thank you for your trust and patience!
