I don’t know why, but I got blocked from Gunbroker site right in the middle of an auction, maybe they did Me a favor. Any on else have this happen?

Henry,  What do you mean when you say “blocked”?  In GB speak that means the seller entered your handle on a list that precludes you placing bids on his auctions.

Perhaps the seller does not want to ship to Canada?

Henry maybe your wife is the seller and you already own the gun…therefore, instant ban!

That would simplify shipping.

I just noticed Henry said he was “banned from the site” — which is different. An individual seller can’t do that.

I haven’t been banned but I’ve been unable to get back on the site. I use an iPad and have a few times where it hits a too many redirects error it will then say I’m blocked and won’t let me login. It can take 30 minutes to clear and I can wait or I can login from my laptop. Thus, mine seems to be limited to some programming issue with how safari is interacting. This tends to happen when bidding and I’m bouncing between my watch list and items I’m bidding on link. No clue if related to Henry’s issue just offering my experience. Another theory is Tom Trolard asked God to ban him for saying commemoratives lose half their value if fired 😀 like I said just a theory 😀

Correct Bill, I said “blocked”, not banned, and I did get back on after about 5 hours. I know it wasn’t the seller because I’ve bought guns from Him before, plus I did call Him, He told Me I didn’t  want that one anyways, so They did do Me a favor. But Your other theory just don’t hold waterWink.

When it comes to communication problems among computers, I’m never inclined to disregard demonic possession. I have had equal luck with technicians and exorcists.
