Czusa Rami Update.........

[Badger Arms]

Gary and George:

Much uglier than a CZ Rami:

Slightly Prettier than a CZ Rami:

All-in-all, I think most guns are pretty. Babies are always cute too... so long as they are your own.

I've never bought or sold a gun on a web auction (or even bid on one), and I don't know anything about the dealer in question. I agree that it is clearly wrong for him to say he has a gun in stock if he doesn't. That said, I believe that gun distributors (like Davidson's) typically ship handguns via some sort of priority shipping method, so a dealer could probably get a gun within a couple of days if the distributor has it in stock. So, would it really be a big deal if a dealer auctioned a gun that he doesn't actually have yet, provided he knows he can get it within a few days? Of course, offering a gun that isn't actually avaiable yet (like the Rami) is different, but I think if I bought a gun through an auction, and the seller shipped it to me within a week or so, I'd be happy - I wouldn't care if he had it in his hands when I bid on it - as long as he was SURE he could get a new one for me quickly. I can see how this might let dealers offer less popular guns that they'd be unwilling to buy for their inventory, but might be happy to order if a customer bid on it. Couldn't this be a win-win for the dealer and the customer?

you know what? if an auction says that an item is not in stock but will be ordered at auction close, and the price is right, I wouldn't mind one bit.

But this guy goes around claiming things are in stock always, and they NEVER are. His supplier is substantially less than reliable on delivery times at points. And he lies about all the above.

has there been any updates on this issue ...

I saw this dealer last week ... he said he did not have a Rami in stock, had just sold it not an hour before to a guy. I call BS!!!

I told him that information was, that the Ramis were not even being delivered to distributors for a few weeks ...how did he come about getting some.

He told me he had an inside track to CZ. Said he was going to be getting some more real shortly.

I expressed my disbelief for this and told him that I found his advertising /sales techniques undersirable. I did not think that he would ever see any of my money again.

Has anyone heard anything from GB about his auctions? There is still one up there.

Nope. No news yet.
Somehow he does indeed have an inside track at CZ-USA... However CZ-USA themselves are unaware of who this guy is. How he got hold of the Press Sample, they are not sure. And if he sold it, that was a no no as that gun is property of CZ-USA.

This guy is FULL of BS. I will NEVER buy a thing from him... not even a bottle of Breakfree.

I have heard nothing, apparently gunbroker doesn't really care about the buyers, they do after all make their money off the sellers, but I am glad we let them know what we think of this kind of business practice, and I for one won't be giving this guy my business.........tom
(then again, if the buyers don't buy, there is no money to be made, so theoretically they(gunbroker) should go out of their way to make everyone happy)
