SOME THOUGHTFULL EXPLAINATION(LONG)

I didn't ask for your opinions with regards to anyones layaway policy, that's between the seller and buyer and was never discussed other than the fact that the period was allowed was fine until the gun, which was presented with an obvious flaw was rejected by the buyer because it was and I REPEAT not up to the standards of a mint, unissued, unfired, perfect gun. The rest of the story is really no one elses business allthough I can see it has been shared in quite detail. The bottom line is that regardless of the type of sale, the buyer should be assurred that the gun is in the same condition at the time of sale as it is when delivered. Period. If the seller, for example moves his guns around in his or her safe, it is their responsibility to excercise care in the handling and preservation of guns allready sold. Period, exclaimation point! The same applys to Walmart or the finest gun shop in the world. If the seller does not want to agree to this rule, I caution (especially new buyers) to see the gun first hand, note any defects, and agree mutually that the gun is as stated. If they can't, wait till another comes allong. Bottom line there was never a problem until the gun was presented in less than stated condition. Be assurred that the seller in this case was well compensated during the "layaway" period.
