    No mate, he isn't bleating. OP certainly doesn't deserve to have been sold a pup. But, some how I know you know it too, don't you

    As has been said, some people's idea of fair condition can differ greatly.
    If it's easy to sort the safety I'd get it sorted and call it a day. You know not to deal with the seller again

    TBH, I don't know whether he deserves it or not.

    I do know:

    a) That the seller has not yet put his side of the story across and in the past, people have been too quick to condemn a seller on just the word of the buyer - only to have had egg on their faces.
    b) As has been said above, 'condition' is somewhat subjective. Ones man's fair is another's basket case.

    NO. You said very clearly that the OP has karma which implies he deserves being striped up whether he actually has or not.
    Stop wriggling mate.

    If I was wriggling, I'd happily stop.

    Would you care to quote from my post where I have, according to you, "said very clearly that the OP has karma"?

    I'm afraid you are trying to imply far more from my post than was ever intended, but if it keeps you happy, far be it from me to discourage your ramblings.

    Ramblings being your comments about 'Karma'

    To the OP. I do hope you get this sorted out and the seller eventually explain his side. A1st seems to be his Oppo it seems.

    Agree with all of this. Thanks for your input on this. I do hope 'karma' visits our silly friend airsporter1st and he zip traps his willy doing up his trousers

    This is a private sale and the seller has no obligation to offer a refund.
    You can spend thousands and still miss a barn door or spend just enough and enjoy yourself. If you haven't got the talent to start with a million pound won't fix it. Whippet, Russell, a few bang sticks and a flat cap. http://www.smart-tech1st.co.uk

    Did you pay for the item through PayPal ? Correct me if I am wrong but if you aren't happy with the sale you can ask paypal for a refund .

    what ever the price is paid I would not sell any airgun or expect anyone else to sell one which has a safety and it doesn't work irrespective of the other damage marks /dents /which weren,t on the original post,or the trigger which has a ridiculous high pull to actually activate the trigger .i have contacted the seller several times since receiving it and he has been on here again today ,which makes it 3 times . he still hasn.t replied to my pms ,or this post. i informed him I was putting a post on here about the deal before I actually posted it..i would welcome his comments by pm or on here . in the meantime I will try to fix the the safety problem myself otherwise it is all dead money. I didn't expect a minter but if there are other dents /scratches etc all that's needed is to put age related wear/scratches on the description ,not 1 scratch. what I expect from any sale is a safe gun and that's what everybody should get and send. the purpose is to say that anyone dealing with him in future especially buying to be aware .good luck
