The subject gun: AA Item #9630069

Seller: Supposed to be a grandson of someone who's dumping inherited property, relatively cheap. God knows.

Buyer: me

This seller is weird. He directed me to pay to a person addressed in Detriot, MI, which he claimed being his wife. Yahoo Map shows the address being a small business building. His phone area code 651 indicates St Paul, MN, and no one answers the phone. A few emails back and forth, he claimed he would be out of town so better receive $$ ASAP blah-blah -- all he cared was money, never cared about FFL. Intelius phone & name lookup shows the name for that phone does not match his AA registered name.

And, this guy simply could not call me because he's still working at midnight :) "Can we discuss the deal via email?" So, he's a little bit shy. I did meet another guy calling me asking refund for a fake check back a few years ago.

The smell is not very good, matching Internet fraud stereotype. Will drop the deal.

Like a hot potato……please inform the auction site

The red 9 went for $2326.00.

Reported this seller to AuctionArms.com.

I just sold one genuine Red 9 a week ago. The price is not too far away.

Interesting enough, even Yahoo Mail dislikes this guy. All his emails were put into "Spam" folder directly. I have to go there to find them :)

And tie that all in with no feed back is the cherry on top of the fraud sunday for me.

Run, do not walk, away!

The only purchase that I truly got burnt on ($700 worth) was through Auction Arms. I don't even go there anymore.

Ron

Im with Ron got beat for 650.00 . Don't go near there site.

The only gun I have bought thru AA was from jackthedog ( Mark Wipurd ). I wish he would start using GB!

Just checked, AuctionArms.com disabled this guy's account. +1 :)

This transaction bothered me yesterday. It's the first time that I decided that I wouldn't pay after making a commitment, although it's obvious that I would not jump into a trap.

Feel much better now.

[Edit] AA confirmed his gun pictures were stolen from a well known auction house. No wonder the gun looks correct and the background looks so clean.

I would not use Auction Arms for any reason. I do like Gunbroker.

David

I bought from Jack the Dog also great guy to deal with.

Mark is a good guy who takes good pics. If you spot an error, he'll shortly correct it.
