| (no avatar) | Grant, I respect and defend your policies and business acumen, however, the way AA is established the Seller has more protection than the Buyer. When the deal goes bad for the Buyer (I.E. scammed), all they have is the ability to leave bad Feedback. I did not imply all Sellers are crooks.....just the unethical ones. I dare say I have made more purchases here in the past 6 months than all the regular posters combined. I finally got stuck twice. Once for $500 and that was the only option I had. Do you think an unethical Seller cares? Yes, AA can terminate the Seller's account, but the Buyer is still out a lot of money with no recourse. All the Seller will do is come back with another false ID and keep on trucking. If I were a Seller and someone renegged on a deal, at some point-in-time I'd leave negative feedback, but, I'd still have the gun and not be out any shipping costs. If I owned AA I'd have the same set of rules and cater to the Sellers too. However, it takes two to Tango. JohnT |

| (no avatar) | I have purchased 36 guns since January 1st. You as a ReSeller may have purchased more for obvious reasons. I have never sold a gun in my life. As A BUYER I bet I have purchased more for KEEPING, not trying to unload on folks like me, especially .270s. JohnT |

As most here know, I am not an FFL. I just do it for the love of guns. I am hardly the mostest or the bestest or the fastest and I only have 41 feedbacks mostly sales. But I think IMHO that the advantages are pretty much even between buyer and seller.TUSC, I'll bet my last donut and as a ex-cop, thats a big bet, That the seller makes good on the shipping or compromises in one way or another. It is just good buisness sense. Trapper |

| (no avatar) | John, Wish I had more time to respond. My only comment is that there are registered Sellers who are business people and then there are scam artists. I'm speaking of just businesses who must be nearly perfect to be successful. If they aren't they receive negatives which they wear as red flags forever. We don't get to re-register. I agree its buyer beware. I disagree that a Seller holds all the good cards.Scammers may hold the cards but if buyers are particular with who they buy from I doubt there is much worry of a Scammer. IMHO |

| (no avatar) | Sports- Thanks for the advice in post #5. I have found that if a person states their case and uses words like Thank you and Have a nice day , things will work out for the best.( most of the time ) Today I was told that the Rifle does not belong to the "Seller". And the Seller has ask the owner to split the shipping. This tells me alot about the Seller. The email that I received today was totaly different in tone from the first ones that I received. Today it is more like " we can work this out ". To me it is not about the $40.00 it is about paying for someone elses mistake. Thanks to all for your advice. |
