Pissed off by Bud's Gun Shop

[josh7328]

I recently bought my wife a Mossberg 500 from Bud's, and when my wife went to pick it up from the FFL, It was all scratched to shit. It was chipped and scratched down to the bare metal. Whatever dumbass that packaged it stapled some cardboard together to make a box, leaving the staples exposed on the other side of the cardboard. She immediately called them back and returned it, so we'll see how this plays out. The FFL said that he sees that alot with firearms purchased from Bud's. Just a bit of warning for your consideration.

Yeah. Don't Mossberg's come in their own factory cardboard box? I wonder why they would put it into a different box, unless the original box got damaged or destroyed in the warehouse or something. That would also explain the super beat to hell finish, I guess. Either way, they shipped us a scratched up, chipped up, "new" gun.

As big as they are I think kinks are to be expected.

What sickens me is their new auction system. Similiar to QUIbids and such, I in my gut feel it should be illegal or regulated as it's almost gambling. Just seems like theft how much money they make on penny auctions.

Was watching them sell $800 1911's for $50, which once the math is done, means they are making $3,500 on that gun. They make less on some things and I've seen a few oddball things sell for a loss. (Thumbhole stock shotgun) I hate to imagine having yourself $150 in bids, end up running vs someone else like one of those "$50" 1911's and finally end up losing it all for nothing. With deep pockets especially paired with the auction butler I'm sure you have people out there semi proffesionally computer bidding. Kind of like there were for other penny auction sites.

Businesses screw up occasionally. Now you'll find out how good a business they really are.

My 3 purchases from the have all been fine.

I hope it goes well.

Only ordered one from them but it was perfect

[josh7328]

Yeah we'll see how Bud's handles this. Thier handling of the issue will determine whether or not I do business with them again in the future.

Must have been a floor model or something where they lost the box. All my buds purchases came new in original packaging.
