REFUNDS ON SHIPPING

Refund For Shipping . As we seem to have a whole lot of winers and moaners who feel that the refund rule does not affect them . When you sign up you agree to that rule .The sellers are tired of the nit picking that goes on with some of you about silly little things YOU ARE NOT BUYING NEW ITEM all these guns are over a hundred years old and have some wear and other small blemish's . IF you don't want to obey the rules don't sign up .

FIRING OF ANTIQUES

WE DO NOT RECOMMEND OR ADVISE ANY ONE TO SHOOT ANY GUN ESPECIALLY PRE 1898 BLACK POWDER GUNS . We do not require our sellers to put this in their adds since it's a good common sense issue and every body should know it . SINCE THERE ARE A FEW FOOL'S OUT THERE THAT FEEL THEY MUST BLOW THEIR FINGERS OFF we strongly recommend that they take it to a COMPETENT GUN SMITH ( WE UNDERLINE THE WORD COMPETENT) Before they fire it . We do not want to hear any Crying about the gun has minor problems and you can not shoot it .If you feel the urge to be stupid . DON'T BUY THE GUN !!!!

Posting Of feedback

Bad feedback on seller --- WILL NOT BE POSTED --- if buyer does not return the item they are complaining about for a refund . Sellers are advised to keep all correspondence with buyers for review if you get feed back on a item not returned . I am tired of buyers complaining about all kinds of stuff that is clearly in the description and not returning the item . I will allow bad feed back on buyer who think the rules do not apply to them. I will also remove privileges granted to buyers for this kind of bitching . To many buyer buying cheap items and think it should be NEW . Buyers with this attitude I don't need and will ban them from using the site !!! Enough is Enough .
