I'm not seeing anyone say anything of the sort. I was certainly not trying to offend or insult anyone with my first comments. As the saying goes, there is more than one way to skin a cat.
The "widow" analogy is common, and understood by most. If you see the same gun in a gun store, placed there mis-marked by a so-called expert in his trade, then you pay the man and walk out whistling Dixie. At least, I do. I wonder if the gunsmith had also tried to buy this particular gun, but didn't have enough money to work up much of an offer. Thus the low appraisal. Or was his appraisal an honest mistake?
