Buyers Beware Ebay Rohrbaugh barrel

(1/3) > >>

ccoorreeyy:
This seller canceled bids and closed a auction I was winning for a early Rohrbaugh barrel.   I sent a message asking for an explanation before leaving any feedback giving him a chance to reply.   He blocked me so now I can't leave feedback but will warn buyers here.  He deserved negative feedback for what he did. 

MikeInTexas:
Man, that is not good. 

I hope Eric comes along and lets us know his part of the story, as he may know this guy.

Looks like this has been added to the description now:

We listed this for the R9 pistol but Eric Rohrbaugh reached out and let us know:
"That barrel was actually something we played with at our shop and engraved the side of it. It would not fit the R9 pistols on the market, some 7,200 of them, as that barrel was not used except for prototype purposes.
Sell it as a Rohrbaugh collectible but not as a good barrel

Sounds like he ended the auction early because he realized he made a mistake in listing it as a usable barrel after Eric contacted him.  He probably could have been more graceful in his messaging, but at least you didn't over pay for something that wasn't usable.

ccoorreeyy:
I knew it wasn't a usable barrel before I bid on it.  I was buying it as a collectable piece.   I may be wrong but it should be against ebay policy to end a auction after bids had been placed.  Especially without notifying the bidders first.  I guess I'm used to gunbroker rules.

DDGator:

Terrible way to do business.  I hope Eric does know him and lets him know that he chased off one of the only people in the world who might truly want this.  If he was concerned about the description he should have contacted you.
