No shame in making an offer or at least leaving a card for future reference. I always think of the guy, an undertaker, who turned down widows wanting him to get guns out of the house after someone had passed. One day he mentioned it to a well known smith, who we all know, and he told him to take the guns, they are going to give them to someone. In a few days, the guy comes by with an as new Sterlingworth in a wooden shipping crate with two sets of barrels, given to him to get it out of the house! Since that time, he now has amassed a large collection, one bears that Purdey name, all given to him.
