I recently sold a rifle on Auction Arms. The buyer decided that he was unhappy with it and wants to return it. The rifle was fairly represented on the auction with many clear closeup photos. The description was accurate. He didn't ask any questions, and now claims that it had been refinished. After he first received the rifle he asked if I had refinished it. I had not, and told him so. I bought it about fifteen years ago from a gun collector who I worked for. It was/is in excellent condition so I only shot it once. It has been a safe queen since. The dilemma is that if I don't refund his money, my 100% rating on AA may be in jeopardy (A+144). On the other hand, if I do, it will cost me AA fees, shipping and FFL transfer fees, not to mention the hassle. Was the rifle refinished, perhaps. It was not represented to me as refinished when I bought it, and I didn't suspect that it was. It is very clean, and looks original to me, but I don't claim to be an expert. I listed it for what I though was a very fair price after reviewing other similar rifles that were listed on various gun sites. Maybe he thought he was getting a steal, I don't know. Any helpful thoughts will be appreciated.
