"Buy back" option on used upper sales.

[Kruel J]

Not sure why so much of the OP is lined out, but no. I wouldn't participate in any kind of returns with a private sale.

 

[Kruel J]

The shop I help out at had a couple come in with a used pistol they recently bought from the shop. They wanted to trade it in on a different (second) pistol they already have on lawaway. All sales are final at the shop. The shop owner offered to buy back the pistol they had already bought, but for much less than they paid.

in my case of an upper sale that the buyer wants to bring back to me, you could call it a partial refund or buying it back for less than the buyer paid. The math would be the same.

You have a lot of ideas where you're ALMOST trying to be an FFL or an accessories "company" without the license, bond and insurance.

No refunds. But I wouldn't sell something that was defective or broken without disclosing any issues.

 

[titsonritz]

Welcome to my ignore list.

May have been talking about the OP, at least that is how I took it..

 

[titsonritz]

What if the upper wasn't defective but the buyer changed his mind for other reasons?

Better change it before the cash hits my hand, period, end of discussion.

 

[titsonritz]

Buyer beware.

It's called being an informed consumer, can't help it if one chooses otherwise.

no it was to that wacko that said my comment was illiterate (can't recall the screen name).

Exactly, I would voluntarily be offering to do something that I am not obligated to do and that most sellers won't do.

Then why mention something that is discretionary? This stuff isn't going to incentivize buying from you.

Incentivize? Shoot, stuff like this makes me want to look elsewhere. Too many potential shenanigans.

Hard pass. I wouldn't buy or sell to certain individuals due to the way they conduct themselves on this forum.

That is what makes this board really great, you get a real look at those you might do business with. Add in the feedback scores and its simple to do business with the guys here.

You might be better off with a "rental" program where you collect full value deposit then return the deposit minus rental fees. That sounds much more like what you're trying to do

Don't know why I would rent an upper though, unless I intended to abuse it and didn't want to do that to my own equipment.

No. He can find someone to sell it too, if/when he changes his mind about it. And likely, for less than he paid you for it.

This.^

I'd never sell a broken item and if I did, I'd make it clear what the problem(s) were.
If they chose to buy it despite that then later wanted their money back despite agreeing to the flaws in said item, that is on them. If it's a new item and they simply changed their mind, no dice.

I would never offer a Costco styled refund because they happened to change their mind.
More often than not those funds I got for the item instantly go towards another item I want.. that money is gone.
I've bought plenty on here only to find it cheaper somewhere or that it doesn't fit my "project" shortly after.. it's all part of the game.

If I had a gun shop, I would do buy backs at a lower price and restock the item for sale again. Just like a pawn shop, swaps would be done at a lower value for the returned item.

And this^

Did anyone ever figure out who the seller was on here that demanded the buyer show him he was not armed?

The buyer who made the thread only said the seller had over 300 feedback because he didn't want to name the seller. There aren't that many sellers with over 300 feedback that do weird things re buying and selling.

I hadn't heard of this either. Really?

The thread was like a year to 1.5 years ago. I don't recall that the person was ever identified, only that it was someone with over 300 feedback.

 

[Kruel J]

Over a year ago? Not worth worrying about.

I remember it, I think it got nuked.
