"When I was a boy, ducks darkened the sky."

(George Bragaw, the Sage of South Marsh Island, quoting Jay Tarheel's testimony at a c. 1070s MD DNR hearing on proposed waterfowl seasons and bag limits).

I was enrolled in a prep school named Woodberry Forest back in 1975 . Maybe the same one :whistle::rotf: Which school in the prep league did you attend EHS perhaps ?

I lived in Virginia until I was three years old, so I guess I can't be accused of being a Yankee.

Friend of mine who has health issues sold almost every gun he had to Green Top a few years ago. He had sent them an inventory of his guns with types and condition. They sent a buyer and a gunsmith to his house and went over his entire list and made him and offer on everything. He had done some internets searches and was fairly confident of the worth of each piece and said while some were a bit low in his mind a few were actually above what he thought they were worth. Bottom line is he sold them everything and they packed them up and wrote him a check on the spot. There are worse ways to get rid of a collection.

I made an impulse buy in Greentop last week. a nice 16 GA. VH . Tag asked $3450.00 they accepted $ 2800.

Please join here as a member. You have missed many bargains as recently as a day ago. Some I would have purchased myself as gifts if I had looked at the site daily or more often.

If none of your family lines was not a Virginian before the War of Northern Aggression, then I hate to break the news to you; Yankee. But not as bad as a scalawag. I am praying you are neither.

Jerry,
I may not come from the great state of VA but I do live south of the Mason/Dixon line and ever since childhood felt an afinity for the Confederacy. :)

My recent Green Top impulse purchase. It was listed on their website as a 16-gauge Citori Lightning. I drove down to take a look at it and saw that it was an as new, Gran Lightning.

We had New Yorkers that fought for the South in my multiple family trees’ lines and the church I attend has Brigadier General McComb, a Pennsylvanian who had moved to Tennessee before the war. The war mostly depended on where you lived rather than your political views.

This was just a joke before anybody gets their panties in a wad but I was unable to put a smiley face on it from my cell phone. My Gr Gr Gr Grandfather is buried at Pt. Lookout, MD, as pro Southern of a county as any. But all the food, blankets, clothing, and medical supplies brought to them never made it into the prison. Stolen. He died in March ‘65 of “dropsy,” otherwise starved to death.

Off track above, but I’ve never found but one bargain at Greentop. The rest you have to start really low on an offer and they usually refuse.
