The world is built on relationships. We've all been the guy that didn't get the deal because they gave it to someone else after committing to us. And if we're lucky we've been the guy who saw the deal and squeezed our buddy behind the counter to sell the gun to us instead of shipping it off to someone they don't even know in another state. Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug.

I lost a LC Smith 20 gauge Crown grade with 32" VENT rib barrels (how many of those do you think they made) when I was buying a 30" 16 gauge Crown grade at the same time. The gun store owner sold it to the big collector in town, who saw it setting behind the counter with the 16 gauge. I was mad as hell, but it didn't matter, he was in and I was out. I still got some great deals out of that guy over the years, but that one was hard to take.
