Well....we all gotta make money appear in our bank accounts, I guess, but I've always had a lot more respect for people who do something, produce something, or add value to something than those who simply are opportunists.

I think the universe would be far happier to see the gun (any gun) sell to someone who will use it to shoot and cherish it than someone who thinks he can use it to transfer money from someone else's bank account to his next week. Incredibly old-fashioned and out of fashion ideas, I know.


At the end of the day...I'm not at all convinced there was any error made by the previous seller. Mainly because I'm thinking $35K for such a gun is probably very close to 'market price'...if not at the high end of the range. Time will tell...

Default Comment from near the grassy knoll...

at the risk of speaking out of turn.....

does anyone else find it a bit curious that the bidding stopped very very close to the stated (on this site) "reserve" (or sellers desired price 49K or 50+K).....?????

No requirement to buy as reserve was not met..........sure makes for a nice set up when the buy it now price is posted....

Were the high end bidders friends of ours on this site? I do not recognize them?

just one man's opinion.....I have probably said too much.

Goodness gracious that is a sweet little gun!!!!

It is a sweet gun...a lot sweeter at 35K. IMHO 50k is out of line.
