    Starting your first sale off with an F is not exactly a ringing endorsement! If I were making my first sale I'd do whatever it takes (and sometimes it take a LOT) to make sure that sale #1 ended with an A+.

    This is his only feedback:

    F: Refuses to honor commitment. Resorted to calling me names. Lied about canceling auction. Made a mistake and said he was offered more money. Do not buy from him.
    The road to hell is paved with COMPROMISE.

    Man...I missed that. I figured that since he listed it at .01 and it sold for .01 he would have to honor that commitment. I would, and have honored stuff like that before. What a Rube.

    Why on EARTH did he re-list the same auction with the problems? Not very smart.

    you mean this is the SECOND time he did this? no wonder he only got one bid!
    he could have at least corrected the caliber offered!

    Guess I'm missing something. How is it the wrong caliber?

    Its hard now to have two names under the same IP. I had two names on the auction side. One was mine and the other my wife. She wanted on so she would be able to buy me stuff for fathers day. Anyway they closed the other account and lock my current one.

    I noticed that.

    this seller should be banned.
    first he doesn't follow thru on a sale and now he's got shill bids. you'd think he'd be smart enough not to use similar screen names!
    I ended up with two names on the auction side by accident.
    I bought a gun 6 yrs ago and had set up an account. then I sold a gun and set up a seller account. I deleted one of the accounts before anyone noticed.

    I don't think that it was a shill bidder - that is who the F rating came from. Are there that many people with tinkerbell user names?

    I withdraw my comment about shill bids.
    weird coincidence though.

    They are pretty serious about that IP address thing. I let someone log onto their account from my computer and it caused them to lock my account. We were at the store and someone knew I had an item on Gun Broker. I let them look at the gun, but told them they couldn't buy it unless they bid on it and won through Gun Broker. They asked if they could borrow my computer and they would put in a bid. I thought it wouldn't hurt since they were using their own account. NOOOOOOO....It mattered a LOT. I contacted Customer Service and they fixed it that same day, but I was in panic mode for a bit. I thought "WHAT WILL I DO IF I'M BANNED FROM GUN BROKER!!!" That is when I realized just how much I depend on this site. I am a level TEN junkie when it comes to Gun Broker.

    Seller deserves what he got. No matter what, it was his stupid mistake and he should be man enough to suck it up and honor his sale! GB should ban this seller.[;)]

    I had a similar situation come up when I first started selling brass...
    Didn't know how to list or where to start. Watched a few auctions start at $.01 and seen 'em go well.
    Started an auction of 500 pcs 45ACP de-primed, sized, and cleaned.
    5 days later, the auction ended and I shipped 500 pcs for $.01 plus $4.95 for shipping USPS.
    The buyer felt so bad about buying $35 worth of brass for $.01 he ASKED if he could buy more and made a price offer!!!
    I sold him another $60.00 worth of brass and would do it again!
    You word is your worth... Made several good sells from then on and was very proud of the what I shipped. Never had one single complaint.

    A true measure of a man is what he does when nobody is looking, or there are no earthly consequences for his actions.
