    Well, pardonnez-moi! My humble apologies to any one offended by my no-doubt feeble attempt at humor. I promise never to do it again!

    7mm, I found it while searching "revelation". It is still up on my screen as I type. Same pics on both sites.

    redcedars,
    No apology needed here, I thought you were actually a foreigner, forgetting you needed to write in English to be understood. What language is that?

    Sarge:

    High school German and some made-up gibberish.

    I was more interested in the dual listing, down to the pics. Seems to me that if you get bids meeting reserve on both auctions before you can cancel one, you are comitted to selling the same gun to two people. As a practical matter, it is difficult to impossible to enforce sales made in this manner. That does not excuse executing conflicting contracts, even potentially conflicting ones, particularly without notice to interested parties.

    Personally, I think the practice should be condemned and avoided by responsible sellers, without regard to legality.

    Once upon a time, I had a quantity of shotgun barrels. I took pictures of a representative sample and listed it. When it sold, I relisted the auction with the same pictures. No harm, no foul.

    As far as listing the same item on other sites, Admin does not object as long as the seller abides by the rules of this site. It matters not if the seller stiffs a buyer on a competitive site. He had just better not do it here if he wants to continue to use the service.

    Nunn, did you include in the description words to the effect that the barrels for sale might not match the pic, or was that implicit? That would seem to be a reasonable disclosure to make. When you are selling barrels by the lot, it really doesn't seem like that big a deal.

    I would have little problem with the practice of dual listings if it was disclosed, and bidders informed that the auction would close early if the second listing passed the (presumably same)reserve price first. Would that condition placed on the auction violate site rules here?

    I think it is a bit much to expect this site to attempt to police the activities of users at other sites. I say attempt because I don't think it could be done, even if attempted. Assuming that the disclosure would involve a practice in violation of site rules and so could not be done, the best way to deal with it is to avoid and condemn the practice. I think that would be enough to prevent the spread of the practice, which seems pretty limited right now anyway.
