Glock Transfer Rejected

[Freegun]

Logically, in your situation you kept the gun and his money…. You shouldn't have both.

Yes you lost a sale and you're stuck with a glock you can't sell and it is not your fault the buyer screwed that up.. but you still have the glock and that glock is registered to your name.. and it's in your gunsafe. You can still use it, someday you may be able to sell it again for even more.

Your glock still worth alot of money. who knows, it might worth more later.as stores won't have anything in stock when they unban.

In other words, youre still rich…. If i were you i would refund the guy and ask politely if its ok that i keep few buck (like $20-40-50) just for the time wasted trying trying to get the cfo,on the phone.. if the guy say no.l you should still refund him....

That is Anti-gouging law and it is a good law that prevents scum from price-gouging during emergencies. OP’s and EE deals are not gouging as there is no emergency. People are free to buy or not buy from EE as they please, no matter the price.

Exactly right but some people who are capitalists when selling quickly become communists when buying.

The OP should refund the money just to be rid of the guy. The buyer sounds fishy and seems he got caught by the CFO. Better to have a gun you don't want and be out a few hundred bucks than to get tangled up selling a gun to someone on the wrong side of the law.

The clock was ticking as new transfers requests were being stopped.

Still a scummy thing to do.

What's stopping Drug companies charging whatever they want for medicine , how'd you like to pay $5000 next time your kid gets an earache and needs mess

 

[Mwdguy]

My thought is this. You should return the money but I would hope the buyer would step a little here. If the Transfer had been processed in a timely matter the purchaser would have been out the cash and the pistol. They are coming out pretty close to square on the deal even though it sounds like a mess up on their end.

Another user letting everyone know to avoid them like the plague.

Thanks OP.

The guy’s in trouble. He can’t have the gun. Period. Have the decency to help a brother in arms out. In fact ask if there’s anything you can do to help him further. We need to stick together. Make one friend out this instead of a whole lot of enemies. Good Karma is a good thing no matter how much it hurts on the giving end. You might win the lottery if you play, or at least a few points when you face St. Peter at the pearly gates.
We’re all getting ####ed by the government now. Let’s not turn on each other. Concentrate your efforts on the Liberals. Show others compassion, understanding.
Good Karma to you friend.

Refund his money and the less said the better.

You dont see a difference for items necessary to live?!
Medicine is life saving and glock 17 is not! Not in this instance. Man! Oh! Man!

 

[Gindryden]

I would say that the gun sale, yes refund the money. As far as the accessories, too bad so sad. Just because you cannot use them that is not my fault.

 

[The_Red_Rabbit]

I don't think you are obligated to return the money.

This is a contract. You performed under that contract. The frustration of the contract does not necessarily result in the repudiation of the said contract.

I would further suggest that this is an event that is beyond your control, and the denial of transfer the result of the buyer's own misfortune and decisions.

Finally, it is reasonably foreseeable at the time of sale, that this sale is final. The government has clearly set a deadline.

So you only want to regulate pricing on certain items ?
Interesting, so you don't believe in free market then, only on items you approve of

 

[Suther]

LOL, your character is in question because you don't know the difference between right and wrong.
Capitalism is great, is gouging really capitalism ?

There is no such thing as price gouging in capitalism. If someone is willing to buy it, its a fair price.

Either its price gouging or you're pro-free market. Can't be both...

It sounds like the guy is in trouble for illegally acquiring handguns, and you want to be his friend???

Dude! You really dont get it, do you…


I will try and explain…

Anti-gouging law prevents people from selling say a 1 litre bottle of water for $50 during an emergency after tornado when everything is upside down and there are shortages which mean live or death.

Anti-gouging law does not prevent selling the same bottle of water being sold for $50 when all is well and no life is in danger. Folks can go and buy water across the road for $1.99.

You really dont see a difference?

Capitalism is fine during normal times and Im all for it, however during emergencies such as hurricane Kathrina capitalism is paused and that is understood in the business world. Great example is that water was sold and sent to emergency areas for normal prices, or even sent free of charge.

Also, there were businesses gouging by selling fuel for $10 per gallon and these places were fined huge!

I, really hope you get it…but if you dont, that is your problem.

 

[TedNugent]

Chose the right username at least....

I don’t see that the OP tried anything nefarious. The buyer, I can only speculate from what I read in the opening post. Not enough to justify keeping the money.

 

[Big JD-From the hills]

Who cares about anti gouging laws ect... and in my opinion this is a what to do about the lost revenue situation. The guy completely screwed you over.

I'd say your only obligated to refund him what you can sell the thing for parts now.

It was the last days of legal handgun sea sellers were infkatingvthe prices to delegate people who would not ever have the chance again.
If you don't get that's your problem

 

[Gindryden]

It may come to cCanada or may not,but the USA for example has harsh penalties for vendors that increase prices more than %10 after an emergency is declared

That is Anti-gouging law and it is a good law that prevents scum from price-gouging during emergencies. OP’s and EE deals are not gouging as there is no emergency. People are free to buy or not buy from EE as they please, no matter the price.

Which "emergency" are we referring to where an anti gouging law in a private gun sale may be applicable?

My point exactly. There was no emergency and OP had the right to sell it for whatever price he wanted and he found a buyer…a crappy buyer as it turns out but never the less a buyer.

The buyer phucked up and now OP lost the sale

No gouging laws apply to OP and I dont even know why they were brought up regarding his sale.

This topic went off rail real quick and it is a mish mash of BS comments.

Some cgnrs were pretty harsh towards OP for even asking his question. I know OP does not need my or anyone’s help but I threw my 0.02 cents…

It is interesting to see what makes this world tick and comments here are part of that.

The sellers who inflated prices in response to increased demand took the risk of being stuck with the gun if it didn't sell or, in this case, the transfer was rejected. People who wanted handguns before the freeze was implemented had months to buy them at more moderate prices. The increased prices for handguns is hardly comparable to over charging for bottled water in a declared emergency.
