Who is at fault??

[Model29-26.5]

Who’s at fault?
Buyer or seller?

Without seeing the ad and what was claimed it is hard to say.

On the surface you say the buyer for not asking the questions first.

But, if the seller misrepresented something......

Two sides to every story.

W.T.H?

They have probably moved on by now.

However, in my world, you ask before you bid. That bid is your word that you will complete the transaction if you are the winner. I would rather take a financial hit than to not honor my bid.

What did the verbal description of the firearm say? Was it described as excellent, etc?

The only time I’ve ever backed out of a potential deal was during a health emergency that took over a month of treatment to resolve, not being able to come home or even go to the bank. And it wasn’t a for sure deal that the guy was gonna sell to me.

I was waiting for a guy who got first dibs, to see if he was going to buy the item. Seller agreed to hold item for him until he got paid on Friday. I backed out on Tuesday, as I was in the hospital. And he was fine with it.

The first winning bidder flaked on the guy. I was second. I just couldn’t make it happen.

I agree with don't place the bid, don't make an offer, until all your questions are answered. Want photos? As for 'em.

I say buyer.

Above exchange was 2016, so after nine years, let's hope they got over it.
