I don't know, I have a great 16ga on the for sale section that has gone without interest. I assume it is because of my asking price and the precieved "down turn" we discussed. Nobody has challanged the price and tried to "dicker" for it which, is why I want to watch this one sell. I hope I'm in a good way.

Is that the lifter Robin? (I know you have more than one 16 in your safe)

There is always someone out there with more zero's in their checkbook than they know what to do with. Unfortunately I'm not one of them. I was once told it's easier to buy a gun than to sell one and it's easier to sell a $5000 gun vs a $50,000 gun. The trick is to get one of the more well heeled buyers interested in the gun you have to sell. The more specialized or rare the gun the smaller the available pool of buyers.
