I recently bought what was advertised as an "Original IMI Galil" handguard on Gunbroker from a seller named "Prestige West". I received a pop riveted reproduction, the picture in the auction showed a properly riveted IMI part.
I politely requested a refund for over a month via email and phone, recieved no response and just today saw that they gave me an F feedback on GB. Keep in mind that I was the buyer and didn't leave him any feedback prior to his. Here is what he posted and my response:
FFF+++ farmerwithgun blames others for his mistakes?? Original purchase 04/02/11! 05/15/11 Wants refund?? Hand guard is "original" latest/last IMI version! Some you just can't help! Enough whinning!!!
Response: (left on 5/20/2011) You're no businessman. You listed as Original IMI, It's pop riveted, reproduction. I emailed & called you for a month requesting a refund. Only mistake by me was not reading your feedback first.
I'm posting this because they still have the same item up for sale and i'm hoping to help someone from being taken as I was. I don't need to bicker with him over a $99 item, the last thing I bought on GB was a NIB SIG 550 a week ago. This guy is a fool and will mislead you and lie to get your money.
If this type of post is not allowed on Uzitalk, I apologize in advance. I'm just trying to help my fellow Galil owners from being suckered and then called stupid by someone who probably cannot afford to buy the rifles that his crappy reproduction parts are made for.
