Warning to bid Great Western Auctions, Glasgow!
For some time ago I won an Persian blunberbuss pistol via online bidding.I made the payment, the auction house verified the payment and I started to wait the shipping.
Then after a couple of weeks I was looking the online catalogue of an another auction house and find my blunderbuss there! I immediately contacted the auction house and asked how and where they got the pistol and attached the link to the original auction and also my reciept of the payment. Also tried to contact the GW Auction by phone and email.
GWA never answered but luckily the other auction house cancelled the bidding of the blunderbuss.After a week I got mail from the GWA, they just informed that my pistoll was shipped to me.No apology, no explanation other than "mistake happens". After that I have not bid anything from the GWA.The pistol was not cheap and just wonder how this can happen and also the reaction ( or lack of it) of the Great Western Auction.
Regards Tapani
