Won a bid on a M1 Garand.
Before I started my bid, I specifically asked the seller whether there is any pitting on metal parts. The response was ,"No pitting on metal, rifle is in very good condition as is bluing and the bore and all other mechanical parts."
After I received the rifle, I found some obvious pitting on the receiver in the area of the serial number. I contacted the seller and he admitted that it was his fault to overlook the pitting. He asked me to ship the rifle back to him and he will fully refund me and cover my shipping cost of sending it back to him. I have all the email communications as proof.
Anyone has similar experience? What if the seller does not refund me after I ship the rifle back to him? Anything I can do? I have the copies of his driver's license and C&R license.
I even opened a case a week ago with Gunbroker.com regarding this issue but received no response from Gunbroker.com
Many thanks for any comments
