Just give him a free one.....that should work!

I swear....I hate when I find a problem with something AFTER an auction is going or after it ends.

We had a cheap 22lr rifle that sold. The rifle was FINE.....and just decided to break right as we were packing it up. Everything gets a last little "go over" as we are packing things up. Well, what do you expect with a 60 year old 22 auto??? It decided it didn't want to snap when you pull the trigger.

Today is the only day we are shipping out this week....so, we tried to contact the buyer to ask if he wanted out of the purchase. Which seems so cheesy to me. It makes me think the buyer MIGHT think I am trying to get out of the sale....when that is the last thing I am doing.

He wasn't answering his phone or emails.....so, what to do?????

Send him two guns. That is the answer. He won one....but he is getting two. Too funny. Of course the second one is another cheap 22lr rifle...but still, I'd like to see his face when he goes to his dealer.

You crack me up. You've got to be the best gun dealer in the world.

Well, thats a very generous way to solve the problem. Yep, he should be very pleasantly surprised.

Locust Fork

I think the likelihood of him wanting this one because of sentimental reasons is very slim.....but knowing my luck this could be one of those deals where he has been hunting for this exact model because his father gave him one and it was stolen or burned up in a fire. This would be tragic if that were the case. I'm just hoping he is happy.

Hopefully his dealer won't charge him two separate fees like they can and do in some states for multiple gun transfers($10-$15 I might not worry but some dealers like one we have here in town would get him for $40 per gun broken or not)

Watch him get held up on his background check for too many weapons.[:o)][:o)]

watch him * anyways![:D]

LF,
Did you send the buyer an email stating that you were going to send him two for one?

Bet he'll really be suorised then.

Locust Fork

I finally got an email back from him. He is happy. I figured he may just give the broken gun to the dealer as payment for his fees...that would be ideal. The dealer can most likely get double what they charge for transfers if they can fix the rifle. Its most likely something simple.
