Let's get a couple things straight.
It's my gun, and my ad. I don't own any "de-registered" antique status firearms. I placed the ad awhile back, and since have had a lot of people asking me to do the required paper work to have it declared an antique, get it removed from the registry, and then sell them the gun and ammo. Obviously trying to have an unregistered pistol in their possession, however it still comes back as the last registered owner, ME. Let's call a spade a spade.
After having too many of these requests and "offers", I edited my ad to say exactly that, I won't do it, and if the new owner wants to, go ahead. I have no experience in doing that type of thing. I tried to prevent any further requests of that kind, and not waste anyone's time.
The first PM I got from drslav was "I will take this revolver". Nothing else. I was then asked in subsequent PMs, about ammo and asked for time to pay. I said I'd throw in a box of ammo, and agreed to wait for payment. I also offered to throw in an original holster, as part of the deal. And advised, there was 2 other boxes of factory 8mm, I could sell for $45.
On the fifth (5th) PM from drslav, it was the first time he mentioned antique status, I was asked about "obviously you are sure it can be de-registered as antique".
My reply, "I don't know. I did't want to nor did I try." My spelling mistake on didn't.
drslav then re-neged on the deal.
I left it at that, advising drslav to not contact me in the future regarding anything. Period, end of story,,,,,, until this.
When I read this type of thing from this same drslav, with the insinuation that I did something unscrupulous, I must respond.
i do agree with you to a point, but you telling me that a guy with his rating and around 3500 posts since 2004 when told multiple times through PMs that i was getting it as for an antique hasn't said a word that it isn't, then in the end if the gun can be deregistered says he doesn't know? I made it clear straight from the beginning of the deal that i intended to get it changed over. He never said anything that it can't be done just cause he counted on my ignorance to sell it. At least that is how i feel. Call me stupid and tell me about my excuses but there is 2 sides to this story and you didn't see the PMs i sent to him..
In the past I bought stuff here and what i got was always what i was told i would. Honesty goes a long way.
Thank you for your honest opinion though. I didn't expect this not to cause a lot trouble and trust me i feel like crap over it not that anyone cares.
I declined to give negative feedback, as I should have, nor have I said his name, etc to any other person. However when this is being brought to light, by this same person, I have to set the record correct. Obviously don't feel that bad, to start the slagging on these posts.
