    Buyer beware

    I don't know if this has been posted here or not, but I couldn't find it. This is just a wakeup call.

    That was by far the worst case of ghetto rigged crap I have ever seen on an otherwise good looking marker. I cannot believe the buyer didn't say anything.

    Regardless for $150 that wasn't too bad. There were still some good parts on it.

      Whoever sold him that totally owned that cocker, that's just rediculous! Who in their right mind would ever do that? It makes me want to cry

        shouldnt have been so eager, maybe get some feedback, a backround check, positive id
        then asked for close ups of the gun
        then should of asked if he would ship first


        but what we didnt see was if it worked when he shipped it (maybe its possible that all that ghetto-fying worked?)

          As a self confessed and field known cocker shooter/lover/tech...I can honestly say that that nearly brought tears to my eyes...That may have been one of the most sickeningly stupid things ive ever seen someone do to a cocker...

            sometimes asking for pics, feedback, background check, positive id, bra size, blood type, favorite tv show, and pics of the gun is too much time if it's a really good deal. Many people might be checking out that same gun and making offers on it. I'm not saying not to, because I usually do it too, but I've also lost some auctions by asking for pics and performance.

            Also, all he said was that there were some scratches on the LPR and some hoses missing

              That's the gun that Homer Simpson would have owned if he played paintball.

                  CQ already sold that, post-repair, over on the Tinker's Guild, I believe. It was either that, or it went on Ebay.

                          I saw that on PBN a few months ago, I read the whole thing. Great story.

                            Thats why you gotta buy new, unless you can actually see the thing.

                              Or only deal with mature sellers, like most people here on AO!
