    Default Gunbroker issue-Sold gun here, day later sold on GB!

    Anyone know how to retract the item after it sells? I am having issues with the 'support' element of GB

    That is, I sold it here, then forgot to take it off GB, then it sold the friggin next day, and I'm stuck with de payment.

    Did you put a caveat in your ad that it is subject to sale locally ? If not you may be in a hole and get banned from gun broker for not following through on a legitimate bid/sale.....
    Should have withdrawn your ad immediately after selling it locally......

    This will be your only saving grace.

    Getting banned isn't a terrible thing

    true, but if I can't live without it I'll just over pay for it locally to feed that need

    but, most dealers on GB will work with you on most items if you just call them and talk to them about buying off GB. It's rare that I've run accross an item I've been told to go fuck meyself with; It saves them money since they don't have to pay a % of the sale to GB.

    It's also rare to find "deals" on there anymore, I notice most "no reserve" auctions are bid up by the dealer themselves or an associated account.

    Once it's "sold", there's nothing to retract, the contract has been made pending payment from whomever "bought" it on Gunbroker.

    While likely not of any consolation to you, or the buyer, I somewhat doubt this is the first time this has occurred.

    Contact the buyer, plead your case, hope he or she is an understanding sort who won't trash your feedback.

    For future reference, you need to go "end this auction early" from your control panel if you sell it off GB and there are no bids yet.
