honestly I think there's a lot of miscommunication here... not seeing the complete picture... but I think ego and emotions started kicking in...
in all fairness, buyer had a point as well... it was misadvertised... honest mistake but when bidding for an auction people factor in these little things to the price...
the ideal resolution to this was to accept the fact that a small error was made honestly and relist the auction... no negative feedback to anybody... or offer a concession of 20 dollars or so if he wanted to complete the sale (if that was worth the trouble)...
this is assuming this guy really intended to buy this gun... again his argument had little purpose in my book unless he was trying to talk down the price because he overbid... based on a misconception on the newness of the gun... but when it arrived in his hands it would still be a used gun...
the only real issue here though is depending on the brand, warranty does not transfer to any subsequent owners (ie beretta) and that may be a valid reason for backing out on the deal...
