    I once had a guy's wife contact me to say that her husband was broadsided on the way to the Post Office, and he was in traction in the hospital. I figured, there goes my $500.

    Three months later, the gun shows up at my FFL just as described in the auction with a note of apology for the delay.

    Strange, but true.

    Three days is not a long wait. Gunbroker says to wait 5 business days. Sounds fair. No reason to panic yet.

    yes and no respectfully , if someone cant take 2 seconds and send a quick note or provide the info needed , especially when the buyer is doing their part requesting it ,ignoring it doesnt exactly set a tone of warm and fuzzy with the deal

    any ways , woke up and they sent a reply with the info , but stated they were having issues with PP , but we never got to the PP part , sent the funds moments ago , fingers crossed , i hope it works out and the rail panels arrive just dirty like pictured , thats a pretty good deal for them

    as sapper said , it happens allot with buyers , never had a seller , for me a "quick response is within 3 hours , 3 days ? sounds like you dealt with him multiple times , the first time was weird though right ? left you wondering what was going on ?

    Make no mistake, when I'm doing business I'm on it until it's done. I sell something and it's in the mail in two hours but I'm retired... Guys are surprised at how fast it goes. Yes, I've been left wondering.
    Regards, Jim

    Seems that patience was what the doctor ordered.

    They replied 2 full days before the required time limit.
