Beware of who you buy from.

Garbo · 01-03-2009, 09:50 AM

A little more than a year ago, Iknew a guy at work,that had ran into some hard times. He needed some extra cash, and asked me if I was interested in a Remington 870 Express 12 Ga. Shotgun. I wasn't, but bought the shotgun from him for $150.00to help him out. A little later I posted the shotgun for sale in the forum and asked the same price that I paid, $150.00.

Several members PMed me that they wanted it and the first PM I recieved was from the member Big Daddy.He told me he wanted it. We made arrangements to meet and I took the gun well out of my way to get it to him. When we met he startednogotiating down the price after he had agreed to the $150.00. I should have just drove away but had a business trip out of town and was leaving the next day, so sold it to him for less than he agreed to pay. Needless to say, that was the end of any of my dealings with this member, and I still today wish I would have put the shotgun back in the truck and donated it a worthy cause. I sold the Shotgun in December of 2007, and I apologize to the members that asked to buy it.

I share this only to give others heads up, and after reading the Ebay and Spammers threads, felt it may be helpful.

Inormally try not to say anything bad about others, but of late something has come over me, Thanks for tolerating me of late.

You don't bother me a bit, so just keep on keepin on. Your posts are usually thought provoking and if someone doesn't like one or all then just don't read them. It is that simple. So carry on.

Brother.....I think back then his name was "BUG" wasn't it???Don't worry about appologies although everyone (99%)knows you are a stand up guy!!!:letsdrink I can't believe folks on here still entertain the guns 4 sale/trade posts

mudskipper · 01-03-2009, 10:50 AM

thanks for sharing........it's good for you to try to protect the other members of the forum.............he has done that to several members..........it is the way he does business........thats why there is never a pic or phone number..........he wants trades so he can tell you that your gun is not worth anything and he makes a profit, or have you drive a long way then hegoes back on the price andtries to get you down .........yes he was "bug" before he was kicked off for bad dealings...........there is no reason for him to be on this forum

IT IS THE ''BUG''.:banghead

I am in agreement with you 100% Garbo. The only reputation that I can find that this so called "collector" has on this forum is a very BAD one!!

Buyers, TAKE HEED!! You have been warned many times by many different members on this forum about this guy, put him out of business and remove him from this forum once and for all!!

It doesn't take an act of God for me to see the light on this clown!!

He is a total :looser and a dangerous person to deal with in my opinion!!!

Your story goes along with the title "Beware of who you sell to" I'd say if your buying and its a nice piece(or what you expected of it) and your happy with the price then your golden, there's no way to tell your buyer KNOCKED someone else down on his buying price...

If you let someone dick you down on the price you set for your own property that your selling its your own fault not the buyer, thats what buyers do. I've had it happen to me with a car I owned and was not happy about it after the fact, but was happy it was gone...

Thanks for the info Garbo. Just did a little research on big daddy and all he does on this site is post wtt,wtb,wts guns. And after going through all his posts he only seems to answer folks he can screw. Great forum member:banghead:banghead:banghead

I am in total agreement with the above. Sure I would have been pissed to drive a good bit out of my way for him to just try to renegotiate the price when I got there after we had already talked about the price. I don't know who this "Bug" guy is, but if he were to have done this to me I would have told him what I think about the situation, and got my shit and left. It's up to the seller to dictate the price of an item they have, and be firm when "that's what you want for it". Again I apreciate the heads up with this guy, but if you didn't get the price you agreed on, thats your own fault.
