    Screwed over

    I got screwed over on Gunroker.com by a dealer FFL out of Louisville, KY. I bought a saiga 12 shotgun a few weeks ago. He accepted my buy now bid for $759.00. Then he sent me a acceptance email the next day. He then called me and said, "No, I can't sell you this gun. The price was a mistake". I called him on it and he became arguementative, swearing at me. He told me to go to walmart. NICE guy! Buyer beware of "Money solutions". His company is Auctions ASAP. He's a glorified pawnbroker. Scammer! ANYWAY, I am looking for a saiga 12 at a resaonable price. Good luck I guess. let me know. I emailed Gunbroker about the complaint. Good luck with that too. Im sooooo pissed! Price gouging.

    Doesn't surprise me.. Same thing going on at Calguns.

    Guys are playing the field when they get several Pm's. Plenty of posts complaining about the same price gouging.

    They're acting as if this was an auction site.

    Good luck....

      I 2nd that about people on here, in the last week alone I've had 3 people back out of agreed prices for stuff after someone else offered them more... It's always surprising what people do to make a profit

          It sucks but its part of life unfortunately. Unlike the classifieds on here though gb purchases are a contract. Good luck with your endeavour Johnny.

            So many greedy people out there. Once you agree to something, you go through with it. Grrr.

              What the hell? Can't you give them negative feedback for that? That's not right at all. I find it funny that most of these over priced stuff are posted by new members. Registered just to make a quick buck. I haven't paid on any price gouging yet. $40-$50 a Pmag? I'm not buying it, but all the newer members are. LOL!

                Honor and integrity have taken a backseat to a "better price".

                    I'm going to LMAO if these people over paid just because of panic and nothing happens. $3,000 for a Colt or S&W AR15 is mind blowing, but there's always a fool willing to pay during these desperate times.

                      Gun Broker isn't going to do anything about it. Needless to say, I am still looking to get a Saiga 12. No luck. Atlantic Firearms is still out.

                        Leave him negative feedback do it all in capital letters include that not only did he not honor the price he accepted but used profanity and acted in a unprofessional manner .

                        Not that this is your fault in any way shape or form but I usually contact a seller before even bidding just to confirm their info and make sure they will sell to CA. this way you have more then enough evidence to give when reporting them .

                          we should post sellers names on here from gunbroker.com that scam people one thread with all their names so people know what to look out for

                            Yes I agree people play the market way too much. I accepted a trade just today, a better deal came along that I could have really used more,but I kept my word on trade. Wish more people would I know I was used last week so someone could get more for an upper. Thank you Neouser for being a great guy. We all need to boycott sellers like that on gunbroker.

                              How is this scamming or screwing over the buyer again?
                              If he screwed up on the price then well.... Yea the cool thing to do would've been to honor the price... But, if he Durante want to choose to lose Monday I don't see how that's a scam or screwing a buyer.
