    Put bid on off roster gun

    I put a bid on a used handgun on Gunbroker. I had owned an identical handgun in the past. I then asked the selling dealer a question, he replied that that handgun is not on the CA roster, and therefore is for LEO only, which I am not.

    It is entirely my fault for not verifying before I placed the bid, and I will meet all my obligations towards the bid I placed. There were no other bids, and my contact to the dealer was within an hour of bidding. The bid does not close for another four days.

    What is the standard practice in these situations?

      I did this once. What ended up happening was the seller contacted the second bidder.

          Since the auction isn't over, I think that the bid can be deleted by the seller.

              You're doing the right thing. Selling a firearm isn't free on Gunbroker. The seller cannot change his auction and will be charged the fee at the end of the auction period. I think he will have to relist his firearm, as there was no second place when I used to deal with them.

                  You have no standing. it is up to seller to be reasonable about it. You screwed up . Hope it comes out OK. There was a calgunner that actually had an off roster firearm shipped here and lost a lot of money. Offf roster must be ftf ppt in Ca.

                          Sure, but I doubt he'd be bidding on Gunbroker for a gun from his dad.
                          Never initiate force against another. That should be the underlying principle of your life. But should someone do violence to you, retaliate without hesitation, without reservation, without quarter, until you are sure that he will never wish to harm - or never be capable of harming - you or yours again.

                              Get the bid retracted/removed BEFORE the auction closes.

                              Just a moment...

                              If you make a data entry mistake while bidding, you should contact the seller and ask the seller to contact Customer Support. Only the seller can ask for a bid to be removed in an emergency situation. The seller must contact us while the auction is still active.
