If you came in our shop and wanted to make an offer if I thought it reasonable I’ll call the owner and tell them the offer and in my opinion they should seriously consider it . If on the other hand someone comes in and try’s to lowball the heck out of the item I’ll just tell them I am 200% sure that won’t be accepted . We have about half of a fellows Browning accumulation in the shop and all of its priced at about 1 1/2 times what I think the fair market value to be . But we have sold some of it .
