For something like $3.5k. I called immediately but was told the gun was just purchased by a collector. I asked the seller to have the collector call me - that I would pay him a good profit for the group. Well he called that evening and told me he had sold it to Riley’s in NH. I drove there the next morning, handled the gun and asked about the other things that were sold with it. The store owner said “Nothing else came in with the gun.”

The new price on the gun was $7,500 and I walked out.

That hurts. I would have walked out too
