I say tell everyone what gun store it was. Otherwise this thread is pointless
Is it even legal to sell a used firearm as new?
He had a gun I wanted, He gave me a fair trade in value. Decent deal at the time.
Do you think or know if any internals have been replaced? If a new bbl and trigger group have been installed would that make it a new custom gun? I'm asking because IDK. If you bought a custom gun that was sold as new and found out the frame and slide had been used but everything else was new would that be a deal breaker? I'm just throwing out some what ifs.
If you walked into a gunshop that you frequent 1-2 times a month, and have done a significant amount of business with over the years, and saw a gun that you built and ultimately traded in to him for sale. The problem is not that he is reselling the gun you traded him, but that the gun is marked as new and more than 3 times what you got in trade because "he wont be able to mark it up much".
Now im not mad that he is reselling it (because thats obviously what he was going to do and its none of my business what he does with his guns) or that its marked up so high (his store, his prices), but that he is selling it as new and as one of his personal builds.
When I was pretending to look at it (really confirming that it was the same gun) he launched into a tirade of how it was a personal build and no expense was spared. It was a budget build by the way.
What would you do?
