It was a Chilean Mauser I was selling on AA and I stated it was a shooter with an opening bid of $125.00 if I recall. I posted one picture and had more if anyone wanted them. I stated as such on the auction. I had a couple requests, but one guy just kept coming back for more. I feel like I accurately described the rifle but this guy just kept asking for more pics and questions about the condition of the stock, did the numbers match (I stated on the auction "all numbers match except the bolt)condition of the bore etc.. After the third of fourth email from him, I was about to either blow him off or get a little nasty, but didn't. His last email went something like, "It sounds like what I want, but I really can't afford it right now."
Now I understand why some sellers put in what appears like smart-a$$ remarks in their description.
The rifle sold for about $170.00 or so when the dust settled.
