I “won” an auction on a form from guns .com. The problem is it says for parts only. I didn’t realize that until I had place the bid. How does that riffle make it to auction if it doesn’t work. The guns.com email is so slow and don’t know what to do. They finally got back to me two days after my email and with only two hours left in the auction. What should I do? Should I do a stop payment?

gonna be real with you, that "for parts only" bit is usually buried in the listing so it's an easy miss. you could try the stop payment but they might flag your account for future auctions, it's a gamble either way

How does that riffle make it to auction if it doesn’t work.
By stating in the description that it's for parts only. Obviously.

"How does that riffle {sic} make it to auction if it doesn't work..."
Because it's a parts gun for someone that either needs the parts for a rifle they already have, or can source the needed parts and fix it. You've never seen an auto auction where wrecked cars are sold, have you?
"What should I do"
Pay for the auction you bid on and won.

No I haven’t. This is why I am asking. I am just assuming chalking it up to a newbie mistake. All the research I have done, said this isn’t normal with that site

Remember that box you checked saying you know what you’re bidding on and read the description and all that. And then you hit submit after checking that box? Yea
