HOWEVER I don’t avail the same courtesy to everyone , it’s quite simple friends are friends people you know are just that “just people you know” . The idea of buying for less then reselling for more should not be lost here , which when I read Russ’s post was my initial thought . Sorry if I’m incorrect but that’s the way I took it .
The whole point of my post was ,there are a lot of us probably most of us here that seek out special guns ,sometimes you win and sometimes you lose ,that's an auction ! My only point was this ,if you don't have a dog in the fight ,or If you don't have any skin in the game however you wish to describe it ,Just don't say anything because it always affects some one ! As I pointed out if it is your gun ,by all means bring it to the Forefront and advertise it !!!! As With the initial post and I'm sure with all good intentions ,You may be trying to help someone but on the other hand you could be costing someone else ! That's all I was saying ,nothing to do with trying to get Something for Nothing ,Resale value ,Sour Grapes or any hidden agenda ,and I am not against bidding or being bid against ,I don't believe anyone enjoys buying and selling at auctions more than I do so Good Luck to the High Bidder !
