Not saying he did or did not do anything incorrectly, but I surely wouldn't want many of you guys on a jury in a jury trial.

I would agree that it is fraudulent to claim that something isn't what it is. However, I would also state that gun condition is a very subjective thing. Objective standards are far too often analyzed by subjective means! What may be 95 % to one person may be 85 % to another person.

In this type of case if I were the seller I would have just told him that if he were not happy with the item to please return it to me, and I would have refunded his money, less postage.

Moreover, there is nothing wrong with trying to get the best deal you can get when you buy something used. To try and get a good deal is not "crap". EVERYBODY on here does it. Everybody seems to resent it when a person is trying to get a good deal from them, but resents the seller as being a dickhead when they won't make a good deal.

Its the human condition. It has been going on for time eternal, and it will continue to go on as long as humans roam the earth. Get used to it.

you can also click on user list on the top of the page then search the name and then click ignore. This would be if you can't find a post from the person in question. That is what I did for privatepilot.

Yes, I went that route first, but just had a brain fart and couldn't get it done. Oh well, aging I guess.

What I find quite interesting is that down through the years there have been many people who have advised me that they were going to "put me on ignore", and yet the next time I said something they didn't like they commented on my post.

That tells me that a lot of guys like to talk about their big dick but don't have one.

From what I have read, it appears seller agreed to sell said rifle of a certain condition. I agree that whether its a Ruger, and whether its a No. 1, and whether its a .243, are all objective and quite easily agreed upon. All I was trying to point out is that it is possible that there was a misundertanding about the subjective condition of the rifle. I don't see it as the buyer wanting to go back and adjust the terms. Rather, I see it as the buyer complaining about whether the original terms were met.

1. Nobody here knows exactly what happened except the buyer and the seller.
2. What a buyer or a seller did on any previous transaction does not mean they did it on this transaction.
3. We have not heard the other side of the story.
4. I AM NOT SAYING THE POSTER IS LYING. I am saying that based on my experiences in working with people there is a huge disparity in what people say and what they mean, and what they want and what they expect.
5. Therefore, my main point was that it might be a little early for many on here to jump on either the buyer or the seller until the entire thing plays out and everybody is heard from.
6. Nevertheless, there will always be those who will rely on ad hominum argument because they have nothing else to say but they want to be heard.

Ok. Question. If I ignore someone, will I still see their posts? It says I won't, but I have observed the same thing as above. What gives? I assumed "ignore" meant that a user could no longer PM me but I would still see his posts. Just trying to get clear.

Onpoint

I am happy to respectfully discuss anything with anyone for as long as they wish to discuss it. Or, in other words, yes, I go on and on and on and on and on, but only if someone else goes on and on and on and on and on.
