I went with $1500 in my pocket to buy it depending on what it looked like in person, since it was a higher grade than what you normally find. I had to walk away as well when they would not budge. It is obvious they buy guns without checking out the true condition. They also had a Parker 20 Trojan and had it marked modified and full, for $1400. I had to break the news to them that it was cut to 26" and was cylinder and cylinder and rough, and should have been less than half their asking price.
