I thought it may be interesting to ask the seller what he thought was rare about a VH with cut barrels and a bolted stock. See the sellers reply below... lol.

“Bless your heart. I see you are new in guns. I recommend you buy a blue book of gun values and start reading there. Go to 40-45 gun shows a year and buy/sell at least 500k on gunbroker and you will start to understand what is rare and what isn't. Please let us know if you have anymore questions”

Guess I am new too

I do remember some southern lady who said her mother told her not to curse

So instead of saying @&$% you.

She was told to respond with something standard

Like

"Bless your heart ". :rotf:

Now THAT'S funny - I don't care who you are, as Larry the Cable Guy would say....

Telling Brian Dudley that he is "new in guns...." Sheesh.

Thanks for sharing that, Brian, and thanks to all for a post to put a smile on your face!

He just thought I was another ignorant buyer who was going to believe his BS. I am upset though that he still did not tell me what was SO rare about it. Since I do have a copy of the Blue Book, and I do attend gun shows. Wait... I don't have a 500+ Gunbroker rating. Only 368. THAT must be it!

He could have said there are no 20.5 inch VH's in the book and that it was specially ordered by Billy the Kid

Or that the dent in the barrel was from Pat Garret's bullet after it perforated Billy!

Guess the seller is hoping P.T. Barnum was right when he said " There's a sucker born every minute "

Never give a sucker an even break or smarten up a chump

"Wow, that gun does not have a Wells Fargo stamp or tag, or maybe a Pinkerton tag on it anywhere does it? It looks like it was a "coach gun". What is the screw in the wood behind the action for? Thanks!'"


Brian, you are a bad influence....couldn't resist sending the seller this question....cant wait to see their sage reply!
