For Sale deact Bren gun

[servicepub (RIP)]

Adame,
You should be rushing to offer to return the money and cancel the deal. If Guy chooses to keep it then it is over and if he chooses to return it then you have shown yourself worthy of future dealings. Arguing that he paid a good price for it is immaterial as it was the agreed-to price for an Inglis and not an agreed-to price for an Enfield.
I would be pissed off if this were a transaction of $12.00 let alone $1200.00.

i used to be on a forum where the buy and sell rules got so strict in the end to prevent things like this.... we had to photograph the item however the item had to be photographed with a sheet of card showing the date and the sellers details on. that way folk could not simply pluck a random picture of something and try and sell it. The system did work. we also had a purchase feedback system on a topped thread which consisted of a post naming the seller, the item purchased and any feedback be it positive or otherwise.

In order to save face, perhaps offering the buyer a $200 refund and let him keep the dewat, or offer to give him his money back when he returns the item. Just a suggestion to calm the waters. We're all in this hobby together and it's better we all get along.

Thank you to everyone who have posted comments, they have generally said one thing, deal fairly and make things right, unfortunately the seller seems unprepared to fix anything, my opinion is until the seller is prepared to correct things he should be banned from selling on MLU or perhaps even from being an MLU member, the military vehicle community is relatively small and we rely upon good faith and reputation and until the seller can prove the community can trust him again he just should not be given the chance to take advantage of someone else and break that trust. Pictures of the Bren that was actually received should hopefully be posted soon.

Enough already!: Adam, I really think you owe the forum a reply to the situation at hand. Please respond. Thank you....Robert

Photos of the now well known "Inglis" Bren, this is what was received, I have removed the sling, have a look and decide if this is what was advertised for sale in the original post, buyers beware.

Time to look in the mirror, and decide what you see.

I have to say it is a fine looking Bren and probably a bargain at $1200.
Even though is isn't an Inglis made Gun.

Hi group.

Just to relate a short story on the power of the group that makes up a forum.

A few years ago on another MV forum I bought what was supposed to be some 1100x20 tires (tyres). After paying up front for the tires and shipping they turned out to be 900x20 in size. The seller didn't see a big problem and also thought I shouldn't complain as I got a good deal. There were a few members that didn't feel the forum was the right place to bring the matter up but I strongly feel to this day that if it wasn't for the many forum members supporting me I wouldn't have got a refund eventually from the seller.

I know MLU forum member Guy and he is a good fellow.
