Once, I made an indirect comment on the internet about the pricing of guns or a gun at Puglisi's. That evening, at about bedtime, Jack's time, my phone rang in Maryland. It was Jack. He wanted to chat about gun pricing and my comment. We talked on the phone until it was about two hours past my bedtime. I had never talked to Jack before, this was a first. Jack had bought a collection of Parkers from a collector who lives near me. He priced them like he prices most of his great guns. As Jack mentioned on the phone, after about a month, a good percentage of these guns had sold. I took the opportunity to ask Jack about a gun on his list that I was interested in, at a price a bit lower than his advertised price. We couldn't strike a deal. However, not too long ago, Jack reduced the price of many guns on his site, supposedly on a temporary "sale" basis . After the "sale", these guns are still at reduced price. So he is capable of coming off a price. I think he is a great guy as a gun dealer. I wish he were closer to Maryland.
