Small claims courts are typically for under $500; these guns are more than that; this would seem to be grand larceny; possibly also mail fraud. I'd sic his police and DA on him
Me too. I hate seeing people get burned. My 2 cents is to call the AG in his state and also the Feds. While I am not a lawyer, this sounds like grand larceny and interstate wire fraud to me. Good luck, OP, wish you the best.Every time I reopen this thread to read the new posts I hope to see a pic of the OP holding his new gun. Keeping my fingers crossed for you
Impossible as jr wont post details ever. Always vague when it comes to someone elses money.What if this whole thing was a con. What if Mtshooter 'is' john ross......?
But seriously I'd be wigging out over 1500 beans too and could probably be capable of doing loony things if I thought someone was robbing me of 2 weeks pay. I think the OP came off as pretty patient tbh...
In pure speculation, not to say JR is a scammer, just probably not a guy who prioritizes his customers and the flood story was likely for the benefit of the CB tribals.... maybe
Lawyers most certainly ARE used in small claim s courts, and the St. Louis county small claims court web page describes circumstances where they MUST be used. There is no need to lose time from work or travel anywhere. You can select an attorney from a list supplied by the bar assn, he takes care of everything, and you cash a check or receive your revolver. This is the way that credit card debts are adjudicated and it is not prohibitively expensive, no one is flying around the country, and the system works. I know, because I have served plenty of the subpoenas. If you contact an attorney licenced to practice in St. Louis, I just about guarantee he'll quote you a price, add that to what you've lost on the deal, and sue the defendant for the whole bundle.It would quickly exceed $5000. If it went that way wouldnt do it to lose a cent.
Loss of Work+t&l, court costs& original amount lost.
Dont believe lawyers can be involved in small claims but have never done it but if they are then cost would increase a lot.

I remember those from when I lived in the Reno/Carson area. Amazing how reporters like these can get the coverage and word out and "persuade" companies to do the right thing.Charlie Horse is on it! It'd be great to find a gun friendly lawyer as well. Another venue would be contacting a local St. Louis TV station that features human interest/investigative reporting type news stories. We have one NBC local affiliate here in Reno that does segments called "On Your Side". They get answers when others can't.
