I contacted a guy on ARMS-LIST (Kurt Kristensen) about one of his rifles he had for sale. First off, his ad was for Eugene, but he live in Reedsport.
Kurt quoted me a price that I found to be fair. He told me he wanted to do a bill of sale & wanted a copy of my D.L.! I said no problem. We talked two days before our meet, he tells me he wants the cash in all Twenty Dollar bills. I say OK, as I'm thinking to my self "this guy seems a bit anal". Today, Kurt calls me 25 hours before our meet. He tells me he "misquoted me"! He says he did some research & the rifle is worth more than twice the price we agreed on (It is not worth that much). Then he tells me he will "MAKE IT RIGHT WITH ME", & gives me a new price, 40% higher than the original price!!!! I told him the gun is not worth what he thinks it is. I then proceeded to tell him the new quote he gave me was at the high end of the guns value. I may have agreed to purchase the rifle at that price from the beginning, but not now!
I'm not telling anyone NOT to deal with this guy, I'm just letting you all know what I had to deal with!
