After two weeks and no gun, I followed up only to discover that there was some missing paperwork. No attempt had been made to contact me during this period.

Item as described in condition as described.
Nice firearm accurately described.
20% sellers fee looks to in the ballpark. By the time all fees associated with the peoples republic Brings a $200 22 rifle to $311.56
Blade is genuine and what I expected
I am over the moon about the rifle, it was better than described.
UPS charges extremely high, inflation? Fuel prices?
Item was received in good condition about a month after the auction. Shipping costs weren't too bad, but the internet premium was a bit of a pain. Overall excellent service.
Very happy, thank you
Nice bayo's. Goth in great condition. One included the leather belt holster.
nice gun
Only seller on proxibid so far that had my gun at my FFL within a week of me winning it in auction. They forgot to ship the factory box with it, but were very quick about getting it to me once I noticed.
THeir customer service is one of the best. If you want information about a item, just call them they are happy to help.
