Will you bid on an auction that the seller states "Sold as is and no returns " ? If not what if the seller has atleast 100 transactions and ALL A+++.. thanks

If I wanted the auction item I would buy it whether there was a return policy or no return policy.
I have never bought anything over the internet that I was not prepared for a full dissapointment, and rarely has any dissapointment ever occoured in my purchases.0 -
I have and just did with no regrets. 0 -
Sure,sometimes I am just looking for parts. 0 -
If the seller has provided plenty of pictures and detailed description, I see no reason not to bid on an AS IS auction. If, OTOH the description merely states what the item is and does not have good photos you'll want to ask plenty of questions first and then consider bidding or not. 0 -
Depends. I make it a point to ask questions (at least one) on every auction I'm considering bidding on. The sellers response, or lack of makes alot of difference.
I want to try to get a feel for if I think the seller is honest and knowledgable about the item. If I can trust his description.
Generally no reply, or vague replies get no bids. Unless I REALLY NEED/WANT the item and are willing to assume responsibility for taking a chance.0 -
Thats the fun of a auction!
Get it home and see what you got and will it shoot.
Look at the pics and know what your buying there won't be hurt.
I enjoy buying at the auction fun is when it gets here.0 -
Don't email the seller with questions!!! They will call you dumb! Look at the thread, SELLER PEEVES"! 0 -

I don't care what he thinks. If he wants my business, he has to exhibit a willingness to communicate w/me. If he doesn't want to communicate, he doesn't get my business. His choice.0 -
I have bid that way, and sold that way.
Need good descriptions, pictures, and communication, before the auctions closes.
Have not wanted to, or had anyone return any item yet.0 -
all the time. why? its why gb has messaging systems in place. you ASK FIRST, then bid. this isnt retail folks, its an auction. when the hammer falls, ITS YOURS.
ever been to a real auction? you VIEW IT FIRST, ASK QUESTIONS, then when the bidding starts, you know what your getting into.0 -
On the click boxes I usually just check the As Is box, but if a buyer has real ligit problem I would do my best to work it out.
I have had some items that are truly "as is" and I restate that in my description along with the reason why.0 -
It all depends on the item. If it is a common hunting gun and good pics are provided and seller is willing to give a good description and answer questions either over the phone or via email yes. If it is a high dollar collectable that is suppose to be in top condition probably not. But that would depend on how badly I needed it. In over 30 years of buying first thru the mail and now on the internet I've only received 2 guns that were misrepresented enough for me to send back. One of them the seller outright lied to me on a couple questions I had asked about it. The other I just didn't agree with his overgraded condition. 0 -
We list al of our auctions "AS IS " . I wanted to make sure I wasnt hurtin my sales by doing that . I value all opinions here. Thanks. 0 -
Yes and do all the time.
I too try and e-mail some question about what I'm buying. Do it for sure when it is of the Higher end items.
Recently "Nov" I snet an e-mail Question to a seller, Just last week I got his responce of it was sold in Dec. Glad I did not Bid on that one.0
