I purchased a "NEW" rifle on AuctionArms.com from seller SKINNER5553.
When the rifle arrived it was filthy. When I contacted the seller, their response was, "Well, it was new when we bought it 7 years ago and it has been in a cabinet since then". They could not understand that the condition of the rifle 7 years ago was of no import to me. The only thing important to me is the condition when it arrived.
I sent them pics and explained that I felt this was a gross misrepresentation of the item. The action and bolt were filthy and the magazine showed more wear than the mag on the exact same model rifle I have owned for over 2 years.
I simply asked that they refund my payment, and the shipping and handling both ways, They declined and insisted I pay all S&H. They relented a short while later and stated they would refund S&H 1 way only.
So because I believed them and their description, which was incorrect, I am going to be out $35 plus my transfer fee. When I brought this to their attention, they refused to cover the expense and went crying to the operator of the website AuctionArms.com complaining about how unreasonable I was and how gosh darn it, the rifle was new when they bought it 7 years ago.
The operator of AuctionArms, ultimately told skinner5553 that they would remove any negative feedback if I left it.
I wil try to attach a pic of 4 Q-tips that I wiped the action with that were dry, no solvent, nothing so that you can see how filthy this "NEW" rifle was.
Well I did leave negative feedback and we shall see if it gets removed.
You can look for yourself to see if AuctionArms truly is more concerned with protecting their sellers reputation than the buyers at their site.
I have all the emails describing the event and all our communications if anyone doubts this.
Hopefully you guys can avoid the problem I had there.
Best of luck.
