Buckkiller58 had a Smith pistol on the forum for sale. I PM'd him on 8/14 asking if it was still for sale and that I would take it if it was. He responded back and said he still had it. I asked him if he could meet that day and he advised me "not till around six". I left him a phone number and asked him to name a location to meet him at. I told him I would be coming from Suffolk. He never sent me any message advising that he had any type of issue or problem. Later that night I told him I could try to meet again but not until the following Monday. I heard nothing from him until I sent a PM asking if it was still for sale. He told me he still had it. I asked him if he could meet that day and never heard anything back from him.
He PM'd me a day or two later and told me he'd be at the Richmond show with the gun. I advised him there was no way I was going to drive two hours to pick the gun up. I told him that his communication had been
poor and that I felt like I was dealing with a computer. He had chances to meet at a spot he chose. He was never courteous enough to keep me advised of any delays or problems. I told him that I would leave negative feedback because I felt that he had a gun for sale, had a committed buyer but would not follow through with communication to sell it.
He responded by calling me a
and told me that he would have my feedback removed.
He seems to have good feedback but this entire ordeal has been negative. "I'll take it" is a commitment on my part. I feel like he showed his true colors. As a matter of class distinction, I'll choose not to deal with him in the future.
