    The seller has an f rating, with only two feedbacks, both of which say the seller did not come through on the deal. How could you bid on this item.

    Gunbroker has no mechanism for bid retraction/cancellation.

    You bid, you buy.

    I too have bid without reading all the fine print. It is a learning thing. I have ended up buying something I didn't really want, too, but it all worked out.

    had a similar experiance a while back when i placed a bid on a high priced pair of o/u shotguns. i looked at them and they looked to be a good buy the price i bid. within second of placing the bid i looked at the seller's feedback and got very worried, but no way to retract the bid. i was high bidder with less than an hour to go and sweating bullets, but as luck would have it, i was outbid at the last second. if the guns were as described the buyer still got a great deal and i hope this is the case. just glad it wasn't me.......

    The advertisement the seller had stated he would accept USPS money orders

    When I contacted him, unfortunately after I bid, and asked him if he would accept a Chase Bank-issued money order

    or a Chase Bank-issued certified check he responded that he would only accept "cash".

    I know I should have asked before bidding but the auction ends in 3 days and I thought Gunbroker had a method whereby

    a bidder could retract a bid.

    As far as I know, bid retractions are not allowed. You can just wait out the 3 days and hope someone out bids you. If you win, I suggest you go get a postal money order.

    For your information, the forums here can do absolutely nothing about auction problems. You must seek help on the auction side. Also bringing up old threads is taboo. 20 years on this one! WOW!
