Lost my gun to dealer?

[Douglas711]

Ok I won an auction on Auction Arms. I contact an out of state dealer to help bring it in and an in state OLL friendly dealer.

Now that in state dealer has the pistol for sale. Same pistol and same pics from the auction that I won.

Its not unusual for a dealer to have multiple firearms of the same type for sale using the same stock picture.

why use pictures of the auction that I won?

[ZRX61]

So have you actually asked him where you gun is?

[Douglas711]

Its obvious where it is at. I asked the out of state dealer to buy it. After not hearing back from him or his in state receiver I just gave up on it. So they now have the exact gun here for sale

Because he didn't want to haul out his camera, most likely with a dead battery, and take one of the same type he is selling...

Then we must assume you never paid for it, so it's not yours to worry about...

[Douglas711]

That might be true just seems really odd that I contacted these guys about helping me bring it in. Maybe I should ask for the serial since I do have that.

Why dont you ask the in-state dealer about the gun now? They brought it into the state, so go get it! lol...

[Douglas711]

Right three times what I won it for

Doug, who has it the in-state or out-of-state? You cite both on the posts as having it.

[Obviously a Plant]

If you contact one or both of the dealers you will probably get a more useful answer than here...
If you paid for a pistol you will likely get it,
If you didn't complete the transaction than it is not your pistol.

[Douglas711]

Right I didnt' pay for it, I asked them to handle the purchase as the out of state dealer was starting to be difficult.

Asking an out of state dealer to help you purchase a pistol then seeing in with their partner company here in CA just doesn't seem right

He's saying he bid and won a pistol from a dealer out of state...he then contacted an in-state dealer to have it shipped to. But instead of getting the gun, the in-state dealer now has the pistol and has it relisted using the same pictures and everything as the out of state dealer did, but for a higher price.

the whole thing dosent make sense....

Who has the gun?

Did you pay for it?

if the instate dealer has the gun, and you paid everything you said you would go get your gun

if the out of state dealer has it, why ? did you pay him? if you did call him up and get some tracking info for the shipment.....

I don't understand the issue here......
