I find it amusing that the OP went to the forums to gripe about this b4 even attempting to contact the seller. Now after contacting the seller, he seems very accommodating. Yet the entire Gun Broker venue has been impuned by the dog pile.
Buying second hand guns is not for the faint of heart. No different than buying a second hand car. When buying from a private seller there is no warranty implied.... and when was the last time anyone one ever swiped a credit card in their garage as payment for a used car?
I've bought a dozen guns off of GB and never had a bad experience. All of my purchases have been a good deal for less than even Bud's was asking. In fact, for all the times I went to Bud's to buy a gun, I have always found it for less on GB.
IMO, buy from dealers (with a license to worry about maintaining) and you can't go wrong.
Buy from used from private sellers only if the deal is great enought to justify rolling the dice.
