Good grief . . .
 
Just when we thought the economy was driving prices down to a more sensible level we get this:

The crazy gets crazier. As Vince Lombardi would yell out "WHAT THE H--- IS GOING ON OUT HERE?!!!"

Whillikers! It's an over/under to boot!

Steve Huffman 06-20-2012 05:25 AM

Thats why its so much it shoots itself sideways !!

Ed Blake 06-20-2012 08:22 AM

It is an O/U, when you hold it sideways.

Jay Gardner 06-20-2012 08:32 AM

I have often found Kevin to be pretty "proud" of his guns.

Stephen Hodges 06-20-2012 09:20 AM

Thats why when I see an ad from Kevins I don't even read it:eek:

i guess you can ask any price you want to for a item but selling that item like this ghe might be another storey... looks like hes asking about 4 times forit more thani would ask for it... charlie

Kevin's is overpriced and the staff are not too nice, at least in my experience.

Mills Morrison 06-20-2012 10:36 AM

When in Thomasville, go to Staffords for your hunting needs. Make sure you buy your quail gun beforehand, though. Stafford's does not carry guns.

Also he doesn't mention the barrel steel. Could it be blued over Damascus?

nice cheek piece, is that part of the "restoration"

and the white screw heads make a nice contrast

Dennis V. Nix 06-20-2012 02:21 PM

I agree with all of the above but sure wish the photos could be in focus. It is amazing when people ask lots of money for a firearm but can't be bothered to take decent pictures representing what they are trying to sell. I like the O/U part too. Must be an amazing shotgun.

Don Kaas 06-20-2012 04:49 PM

Kevin also speaks in the "third person" as in "Kevin can you do any better on the price?" "No sorry, Kevin likes this gun. Kevin knows how to price them." Like circus clowns, I find this habit oddly creepy:shock:

Chris Travinski 06-20-2012 08:03 PM

They have had a DHE 12 ga. for $15000 it's been for sale for at least 10 years. It's a nice gun, but you would think after that long they would wonder what the problem was?

Brent Francis 06-24-2012 10:14 PM

Lot of that going around
 
Ive noticed that gun prices seem to be all over the place these days. But, Ive also noticed its not just guns. House prices, used cars, you name it. Some people seem to recognize that things have changed and price things to sell and some still think they can make a big score and that 2008 never happened.

Mills Morrison 06-25-2012 09:38 AM

That is the truth.

Kevin McCormack 06-25-2012 03:02 PM

Ummm.., lets see now: 24-inch "original" barrels, 1 of 1 listed in TPS; bizzarely out-of-focus shot of the muzzles (where are the keel police?), complete with cheekpiece. Smallbore columbaire gun for indoor events? Railbird gun where a mounted gun is required by club rules? Specimen gun for collecting Ivory-billed woodpeckers where steadiness in the canoe while shooting up into the trees is required (short barrels so specimen is not mangled)? The possibilities of reality are endless. Its the way things are in Thomasville since Nash quit judging down there.
