Rather than give the guy the $1350 he wanted to walk out with it that day, I decided to see if I was correct that it was a decent buy in that condition. Sold the next week, and I'd wager dollars to donuts a member here picked it up. I didn't kick myself for not buying it. I praised myself for learning a little bit more. Just being able to handle the gun one time was enough for me.

I followed that one as well. I almost drove up there to inspect it since it was so close. We seem to be doing the same thing with sites like Gunbroker. I try to watch lots of guns and figure out either why they are getting bids or why they are not. I have become friends with Greg Phillips who is another member here in the Atlanta area and he has been very helpful in explaining what he sees in some of these guns as well. I couldn't imagine trying to get into this game without having a site like this forum. Tidbits of information fall like rain at times and I am trying to soak them all up
Do you do any trap shooting with your guns locally?
