Should I leave negative feedback on a deal from the classifieds?

[JohnBoy1]

Well I'm not going to make his name public to prevent a crap storm that's not going to solve anything. From what I can tell he is not going to fess up to anything and make it right on his part. Il take this with a grain of salt and do better research on the seller in the future. Thank you all for the suggestions and help. Il post what Taurus has to say in the problem and what the damage to the Walter will be to fix it.

I hope they are easy on Walter.....

Where do I find Itrader?

Does someone with less than 50 posts even have access to this? Just curious as it doesn't sound like they can access the classifieds.

So at the very least, there is a mildly dishonest seller on the board, but nobody wants to say who because...

I have less than 50 and have access to view the ads but not post. When I tried putting a WTB ad up it said that I must first have 50+ post to post in that particular forum.

Because dogpile.

Is the name not being named cause of the old burn your house down incident?

 

[Vigilant]

Because dogpile.

So now INGO is no fun?

Yeah, I miss Cathy, too, sometimes.

Gee, would be a shame if OP posted the name and a mod locked the thread so there couldnt be a dogpile...
Just sayin...

Wait wait wait...INGO has a classifieds section?!?


Next you're gonna tell me there is a FAQ!

My personal opinion would be to "out" the crook. But if that cant be done, then maybe there needs to be some sort of system where a person would be banned from selling in the classified area if they accrue a certain number of negative feedbacks. Personally I would undo any deal I had been involved in if notified within a day.

Also I realize that if I'm going to deal with unknown individuals then its up to me to know what I'm looking for. If you arent willing to take chances, then don't play the game. Luckily I've never been burned on a deal and I've made a few. Likewise I'm not aware I ever burned anyone.

One time I got one that wasnt really as presented but it wasnt a deal killer.

Good luck.

Read the rules that are well posted about using the classifieds.

Can you post a visitor message to him? Those are visible for other forum members to see.

I'm not a smart man, but I'd imagine if the OP had done something of this nature, one could easily determine the identity of the offending party by viewing the activity tab under the OP's public profile...

But again, I don't really understand how any of this works.

I would be surprised if Taurus didn't fix it free of charge, and pay shipping both ways. I suspect you will just be out the inconvenience of having to ship it to them and then wait for it to get back.

Taurus most likely won't pay for shipping. Quite a few people are *****ing about paying for shipping on sending back warranty and recall guns lately.

He was responding to my question about whether or not those with less than 50 could even view the itrader/classifieds. It sounds like he was aware of the rules as to why he couldn't post there.

It does reinforce that we need to check feedback and not rush into a deal. I have been burned on Ebay a couple of times when I bid on something and THEN read the feedback.

Brilliant! All I have to say is I wish I had some "clips" for my "2.23".

I confronted him about it 3 hours the trade was done. I haven't heard anything from him and I don't think he will man up on his misleading deal.
