All they do is look at a computer screen to see what has been purchased and at what cost.
I had a young man come into the Library with a NEW Purdy that he said was his Grandfathers and he wasn't a hunter and needed money for college. The gun didn't have the makers case and it was a 12ga with 26 inch bbls. I knew what it was worth, called the big man (who works at an auction house now) and he told me to offer 15K on the spot as the gun didn't have the case and 26 inch bbls were a detrement. The kid took the check I packed the Purdy up and sent it to another store per instructions and it was sold for $50K if memory serves. I knew right then and there I was in the wrong place.
