EBAY kicked my scope and transit chest auctions off, please read!

[SKYHOOKDUTCH]

Well guys and gals Ebay has kicked my auctions off for the fact these are assult rifle parts. I had nothing to do with it, it was out of my hands. They told me I could relist but the scope and transit chest would in other words have to be for a rifle unto this ones nature!

People I have no idea what I HAVE (in value) and am in no way trying to get over on anyone. I had some people from here message me privately and make offers, thats the only reason I posted for sale locally. I could have easily throew it away in a pawn shop. But some kind hearted folks here told me what I had, so giving you people/persons the opertunity to add this piece of history to your collection because it means nothing to me! Now I have no idea how to make this easy.

I have no idea how to offer this to the rest of the world for sale and being able to ship it over sea's. I would have probably put it in a box and tried to UPS it.

Would it be right of me to post it here forsale by accepting open offers (as post your offer over $3000 )and in 48 hours the highest offer gets the scope! Is that legal for me to do here?

This scope was in the transit box a few decades back and found in a barn on a farm in Pg county that was bought by a developer and was being turned into a neighbor hood. A certian person was a demolition and excavation contrator, rumaged through the barn before bulldozing it and found this. The scope has been inside his home and transit case in his barns loft. I recieved the scope with limited knowledge and was told to do as I pleased with it, he told me the box was up in his barn and could have it if the animals and bugs didn't destroy it.
I come to this site for info and offer it up to the Vintage arms community. Please somebody tell me if I can do as I mentioned in a earlier paragraph about selling it here on a offer bases!

Again this is the scope, the rifle mount, leather optic cover with strap and the metal case. I also have the transit chest in what I would say very good shape!

Of course, unlike eBay, we don't have a problem with buying, selling or trading firearms and accessories here.

The formal Quartermaster Stores Classifieds (click here) supports sales with prices attached to items, best offers, want to buy requests and lastly, outright auctions with reserves, closing times and BUY NOW options etc ….

A good place to start would be to read the thread titled **** WTS (Want to Sell) Forum - PLEASE READ FIRST ! **** (click here)

Hope that helps ...

Well now there's a kick in the pants for common sense and it's a U.S company.

LOL $3K and no photo, good luck dealing with e-pay

[vintage hunter]

Yep it's a U.S. company alright, but it's an ANTI GUN U.S. company. What I think happened is they zero'd in on L1a1 in the description and having no real knowledge or concept of firearms jumped to the conclusion that it was a part for the L1a1 rifle instead of being the model of the scope.

[SKYHOOKDUTCH]

I dont think they found it. I think someone tipped them off because they sent me a notice and asked for me to report anything like that. I think someone that didn't like the way I listed it or had a intention of pulling the auction for a local sale, squelled on me.

Actually their HQ is in Switzerland. Even more ironic.

Can we have a link to the latest auction please?

[jmoore]

I think it's because you listed the transit chest as being for an L1a1, which it isn't. An L1a1 rifle WOULD be "evil" on that site, but an L42a1 rifle, which is what the L1a1 scope AND the transit chest is for, isn't an "evil" rifle. The temptation to be harsh is really hard to resist! So I'll stop now.
