| Shooter Auctions Ripoff Auctions NA, Internet |
| 3rd of Nov, 2011 by User538694 |
| At first I thought this was a decent company. I purchased some bids for cheap. I started bidding. Then a handgun came up for auction. I won the auction but was emailed telling me I was not the real winner. Wtf? They said they'd compensate me for the $600 valued gun with $6.00 worth of bids. Seems unfair. Now every single auction they have up is being bid on by bot account they have setup. No matter what the bots will always have more bids than you and will always win. It's a scam to get you to buy more and more bids. I would NOT recommend this website. I had some emails back and forth with the owners and they seemed nice while they were driving the knife deeper into my back. The two things I have won from them on Halloween weekend have yet to be shipped. I paid the shipping already and have received nothing from them. |

The accusations this person is making are completely unfounded and ridiculous. I have been a member of this site since they first launched a little over a month ago. The website itself has had its issues, and bugs, but the owners of the site have communicated with every single member along the way, explaining what went wrong, and what they were doing to rectify it. I have not seen another internet business in my experience be so honest and forthcoming with their members.
I love the website, you get a great deal if you win the auction, and if you don’t, they give you 1 1/2 times the bids you spent off the retail price of the item you bid on if you still want it. How can anyone possibly complain about that? if there is 15 people bidding on one item, there can be only one winner, that’s how an auction works right?? Its not little league baseball were everyone gets a trophy to feel better, but they still offer you a discount even if you don’t win. I say deal! I highly recommend this website, their customer service and commitment to quality are top notch! |

| I have both won and lost auctions on their site and never felt i got shafted. I too have been involved in an auction with a servor error. When the timer stops in the middle of an auction i didn't expect to receive the item at the current price but i did expect that they reimburse my bids, which they promptly did. It is no secret that they are working out the bugs so sack up and bid again when it comes up again. Not everybody can win a $600 pistol for 5 bids and some people buy alot of bids so don't go throwing accusations about bots just because somebody has more bids than you. |

this guy is completely off base...he continues to post this innuendo and baseless claim on multiple sites using differnt names when in fact for $6 and 10 bids he rec'd 20 and won a $12. trigger guard and a pistol holder. Both of which have been shipped. Not for one minute will he return anything. I would gladly give him his $6 back if he could just understand there was no way he could win that auction because while the server crashed and claimed him the winner, we have documented proof that there were another 75 bids on top of his. But he refuses to believe that. It clearly states in our t's and c's that we are not responsible for these types of failures, but that isnt sufficient either.
People believe they can unjustly accuse another and defame a business or a person while remaining unanimous on the internet...I am hear to tell you Jamal in Utah. It isnt so!
This is the first of two websites you have posted on. If you think its not against defamation laws just because you think you are being anonymous...guess again. |

| Say what you want praising this scam...but I won a scope from them..no way to check on confirmation except that my Paypal account is less..Will not answer e-mails..I am just waiting out my 45 day period to file a claim through P.P. as I am not expecting to see a scope in my mailbox any time! That is my experience with them so far... |

| Funny how I'm just now seeing this. Some friends of mine are deeply interested in this site, even though they all have the same horror stories as User538694 and Jonray39. There are two accounts listed here of poor service, and one person who doesn't care if they get jerked around (Sadman). We can't honestly evaluate the statements from Jautry (AKA Jack Autry, site owner of Shooter Auctions) or Niko6 (Nik Long, Webmaster for Shooter Auctions, Studio 6 Web Design). That is a 2/3 BAD review. Try the other sites, they seem to have their stuff together. |

JonRay rec'd his scope, we learned to never auction anything not in stock...he never filed a paypal complaint because by then we found out PAYPAL is anti-gun. you can evaluate the story of USER538694. in effect you have one complaint and people with a rebuttal from 240 days ago. with nothing else to go on.
Thats 800 users with 1 complaint on these boards.

all i can say is the people at shooters auction try to be as fair as they can.. sure is funny how people think they been ripped off when they lose. i for 1 can say i have won items value in the 5-600$ range for only 3-4 bucks. as well as i have won 1500$ items and paid up in the 7-800$ range.. as of late AND THEY ARE TRYING TO FIX IT. a few times the site slowed down.. laged for say and bids did not take.. and system said auction closed.. now this is not a fair auction to all who tryed to bid. and when people e-mail them saying WTF i could not bid. they cheek the system and clocks. if they find a problem the auction is re-opened.. this IS IN MY EYES FAIR to all who still were trying to bid..
ALSO a friend of mine has won guns with 1 bid.. 2 times this he has done.. AND YES!!! some people LIKE MY SELF WILL BUY a ton of bids to win something they reallly want. AND YES I HAVE WON.. as well as i have lost.. SORRY EVERYONE CANT BE A WINNER.
ALL I CAN SAY IS THIS IS THE REAL DEAL.. and people do win and get deals.. LOOK AT HOW MANY PEOPLE are saying B.S or the site is a scam.. WHAT??3 may be 4?? than looik at there face book page and see how many say its a great site.. FUNNY HOW PEOPLE WHO LOSE CRY .. |

| Listen ok... There will be false accusations against successful and fair businesses... I know for a FACT these guys are legit and fair... I won a gun yesturday, and there were some mad bidders (sore losers) that were complaing. Look, where else on Earth can you get a sweet ass gun for LESS than half of the retailed price??? My point exactly... It's 100% fair and legit. These guys are so nice and welcoming and show their appreciation everyday! I take ANY and ALL bad comments about these guys to heart cuz I've seen nothing but fairness! I love the site and the people running the show! Keep up the FABULOUS work, and remember, there will be sore losers everywhere! Thanks :). ~ARGIRL-{-@ |
