I recently started this thread after hearing that an internet swindler was finally caught after cheating many gun owners out of their hard earned money. So, I was thinking, what if I had an issue with a gun I bought through INGO and the member I bought it from wouldn't respond to my attempts to make the matter right? BUYER BEWARE!
I'm posting this thread as a member of what is arguably the best gun forum around and I don't want some cheater(s) jacking up our reputation. As we grow, beware of people trying to pass on junk! It's not inconceivable that someone will pay their $10 and post a LNIB Glock or 1911 at a great price and after buying it, you get it to the range and find there are problems. I'm not advocating that we all start wearing tin foil caps, but BUYER BEWARE!
In the past, I have completed sales at the range to allow the buyer to shoot the gun before buying. I have offered the buyer the option to return the gun in three days. I've met people at Bradis just to let Shooter take a look if I saw something funny. What do you do to protect your money or reputation? What are some other things that can be done to ensure buyers are not cheated on INGO? Remember, INGO is not responsible for sales that are initiated through the forum, so what other options exist that will promote good transactions?
