Gun Auction Sight. Won an auction for COLT 1908 25 POCKET HAMMERLESS ( SLIDE & BARREL) pictured was a slide and barrel in heavy surface rust.
I didn't have my old gun handy but trusted the label. I only needed the barrel.
Removing the rust for fun I uncovered the label.
Spain "Martian" Comercial was reviled. Parts not compatible.
First email was the picture and asking what he thought the best thing to do would be. No suggestions or demands, just showing what I got and asking what he'd like to do.
Seller first offered back a $20 and I could keep the parts.
I don't need the parts and asked, nicely, for a full refund including the shipping I paid.
He told me he'd refund the purchase price but not shipping.
Here's my email back to him.
Looks like the part won't fit.
I'll pay shipping back to you. For the refund amount you'll get to to choose the amount and your review at the same time.

The first review:: Seller is a stand up person and that even though an honest mistake was made, went out of their way to make it right and I'm impressed with the quality, service and integrity demonstrated.
The second review:: Seller incorrectly listed the product they were selling and when contact about it did I get a refund for the purchase but was still stuck with the shipping. Caveat emptor.
P.S. Shipping charged for the auction was $6.00 and shipping label was for $2.80.
