I've seen a lot of great deals missed over 50, or a hundred bucks. When you see a great deal, just say "I like it, sounds fair, I'll take it".
I did that very move on a clean little CJ7 Jeep last week, from a recently widowed elderly woman.
She said she had to have $3500.00, I didn't argue, just said "I like this Jeep, it's a fair price, I'll take it".
Done!

Todd you are spot on. I have missed a few guns over the years by hesitating or trying to get a few dollars knocked off. Some missed deals still haunt me.

Bill..I'll bet she does !...Really, When we moved to our farm, I put a list together..sent it to a few people..Cabelas called, and a couple other dealers made some noise. One dealer, who shall remain nameless..drove to West Palm to see the guns in person. He was first..and brought cash..A deal was made..
