Dean,
Thank you, I have delt with KTP in the past and they are very good to deal with.
I was half interested in an AYA .410 at Cabalas and thought if they gave me a fair offer for my guns we could come to terms. They list an 1100 D grade on the website site $2600.00!
They had a Fox Sterlingworth on the rack that looked like someone dragged it there behind their car for $575.00! It was a lesson for my wife even she could not believe it!

Wow, I love this site!

Everyone selling something has the opportunity to do their due diligence and if they don't then they get what they get.

The best I ever did was an ad in the newspaper for a Parker 20 gauge.
I checked the newspaper every morning as soon as it hit the step and finally found something to get excited about. I shot out of the house, headed 40 miles south to a small farm town, driving well in excess of the speed limit and sweating all the way there. Got there just before 7:00am and the nice fella that answered the door invited me in. There on the table was a 30" VHE in about 60% condition. He said, my wife doesn't want it in the house anymore because our son is getting to the age that he wants to start using it. I gave him the $800 bucks and on the way back home I felt bad for a young man that wouldn't have the pleasure of growing up shooting anything; much less a Parker. But that's the society we live in.

They told me they got their price from the local gunshop, so I don't feel one bit bad, that was their due diligence and they were happy with it.

One of my buddies called me about 10:30 that morning to tell me about the ad and I told him that it was already sold……to me.

Great BUY Alan!

Good for you Alan. Sure most of us wish we were the one who went to the yard sale first, but we should all be glad it didn't get turned in for a $50 walmart gift card!! The way I look at it is, you got a great deal and your happy, you saved another Parker.
