I want to openly apologize to a member here.
I saw a WTB ad,, and had the item in question. I replied,, and a deal was made. It was a small, simple item,, a sizer die. In my initial reply, I mentioned it was used & not marked with a maker's name. It was for a 450.
For many years,, I had a pair of 450's & purchased many sizer dies,,, many "just in case" due to different guns & bore or throat sizes. For instance,, I have or had .450, .451, .452, .453, .454, & .455 just for 45 caliber guns. Some,, never got used,, and heck,, I even purchased some w/o double checking to see if I already had it.
Well, several years ago,, I got a deal on a Saeco,,, and soon after,, a deal on a Star.
My 450's were sold. And I still had a box of sizers & punches.
I put many up for sale here,, and when I listed them,, I put too many in my ad, exceeding the number of items allowed. I got scolded by the Mods,, and as such,, I never put them out for sale again. I still have a box full.
Well, a WTB ad prompted me to look and see I had one that was needed. And the trade was made. When the buyer received it,, it was missing an O-ring,, and he says it wouldn't work. I IMMEDIATELY offered a refund,, (A full refund,) and said I always want a happy person in any of my trades. I try hard to be honest,, and in general,, so do most of the fine folks here.
I get a PM saying he had already packed it up for return, and was taking pictures "in case I tried to sell it as a working die." His tone in his PM suggested I was trying to swindle him or would try to do so to someone else.
I explained (again) to him I could not recall using that die & would gladly issue a full refund. I also would NOT sell anything knowing it wouldn't work.
I made a mistake in that I had it, it's marked with caliber size, and it was in my box of 450 sizers.
MY OPEN APOLOGIES TO THE BUYER, AND TO ANYONE ELSE WHO MAY BE OFFENDED BY A MEMBER HERE MAKING AN HONEST MISTAKE.
