Transfer dealer tossed out the bolt to a rifle....buyer wants US to "work it out"...good grief!
Every time I think I've faced every situation imaginable.... a moron comes along and proves there is no peak to moron mountain and we're all just lucky to be alive at this point.
I send the gun out to the FFL. This guy decides to open the box instead of sitting it to the side and letting the buyer do the honors....which is something I'll never understand because it leaves the transfer dealer alone in whatever he unboxes. Like this instance.
The transfer dealer SWEARS the bolt was not shipped with the gun and fully supports the buyer's decision to dispute the charges on his credit card. Of course he does! The buyer isn't taking the high road either.....leaving it to "us" to figure things out.
I've called and emailed the buyer several times and left messages.....which have not been returned, leaving me to believe this guy is either terrified to speak to me or as shifty as the transfer dealer. Either way both of these guys are not "men" at all, but a lesser version of the male species for sure.
I took the high road and offered to buy a replacement bolt and the transfer dealer would be responsible for half of the cost. No reply at all so far.....but I know what is coming. If they were worth their weight in salt I would have gotten a call back or reply to my offer.
At this point I'm just waiting to hear from my credit card processor. Disputing the charges isn't as easy as some believe......they are going to find this out the hard way. This is when my offer will become much more appealing and I'm certain I'll hear something from the buyer at that point. I'll have the replacement bolt in hand by that point and I'll be willing to pay a LOT less than half to send it to him. He can order one at full price for all I care and I'll spray paint the one I have GOLD and make a keychain out of it.
I'm telling you people.....I'm a lot less medicated than I should be to deal with the public like I do.

Good reason to not accept cards. Sorry...
At some level you have to....there is no way around it. You can do a small number of sales and not take cards, but to do large numbers you MUST take them. Most consignors know more buyers are looking at sellers that take cards so they aren't going to let you take their collections unless you are able to entice more buyers. There are more buyers that want to pay with cards so they watch out for sellers that take cards. They are a necessary evil.....I personally hate cards.

Yes taking the gun back looks to be the best road . Folks that have never worked with the public in gun sales will never understand the depths of stupidity that exist in the world .
