Shane- Odly enough,I just about agree with you. It is really hard to police these types of things. The only additional angle I could add to this subject is that the reason I traffic this site is because of those individuals that donate and contribute thier time to offer these forums. I come here because I value their opinions, knowledge,wisdom, advice, etc. I guess I make the mistake of going maybe a step too far in also trusting that the individuals who also traffic this site and offer things for sale might also be reputable, knowledgeable, etc. I also feel a sense of "bonding" or "memebership" when I sign on and start participating on a forum.
I feel that the members here should speak up and correct someone( in a responsible manner) that may have given out wrong information or advice. The ultimate goal is the transfer of true/correct knowledge and experience to others. If another person is using this board to take advantage of people, we should share info and try to protect ourselves. This "deal" I am talking about is not as bad as it sounds. The gun is fine. It has more rounds thru the gun IN MY POINION than I was told, it was extremely dirty when I got it, and the tritium vials in the the rear site are bad, but it is basically fine and I am satisfied with it. I intend to change the site anyway. I was told there were more accessories included with the gun than I received... a dollar value of about $50.00 out of a $2,000.00 purchase. As I said, not a big deal. It just bothers me when I see people log onto a forum and post things for sale as their first posts and really don't contribute any other way. My mistake was buying it over the internet. Because of several problems recently like this, I am not going to do it again. It is just so tempting when you have an interest in something unique or limited in quantity and try to use something like the internet to buy these items.
I am still trying to deal with this person. I appreciate Dane's offer help. I will give it a little more time before I take up Dane's offer. This series of "anonymous"
posts is more than enough for the person to realize what it's about. How he will react, I cannot predict. He does not post an email address on his profile now, he has not answered my emails with an answer. Maybe he will speak out in public here and tell his side of it all. Glad to have the opportunity to voice our feelings on these things. It is basically my personal problem. I just wanted to tell people about my experience good or bad.
