Airgun Sales that go sour

[Shed tuner]

yeah, if it repeatedly happens to the same purchaser, either they are incredibly unlucky or dishonest. Or possibly very very fussy, in which case I wonder if the secondhand market is the best source of guns for them ?

Ive bought 3 guns off this site all had faults which werent in the discription,but i have bought lots other things which worked perfect,i dont buy 2nd hand guns now,cant beat brand new,im sure most people are genuine i was just unlucky,but only buy brand new guns now.

Perhaps Ive just been lucky but Ive had the opposite happen to me on a few occasions where the item is in better condition than described. The last one recently was a Webley Hawk Mk 3 (thank you Kevin.Ronnie). Its hard to tell true condition sometimes with some 'For Sale' photos.
I did have one pistol turn up whoes seller had, shall we say, a vivid imagination. Mental note not to buy again of him.

It can happen where the purchaser gets it wrong also. A guy bought my prosport off free ads. Turns out i knew hom from working together 40yrs ago. Anyway 2 days go by and he phones me to say he cocked the gun and loaded a pellet in it and it will not fire. So i go to his house pic up the gun and he explains what happened. You guessed it he had not cocked it till the safety popped out. So i pulled the underlever back a bit further and the gun fired ok. Stupid bloody thing is he ownes a tx200 so should have known you have to cock till the sear engages just like the tx. He was well embarrised. He saw me fire it several times at my house so you think he would have git the idea how it cocked.
