[C.O.B.]

I can only accurately appraise this in hand. Please send it to me and I'll give it a work out on the AuSable My guess is three Blue Gill, a Spec and one 20 inch Brown Trout

Okay, I'll take the bait... but first I need to know what you paid for it...

Isn't that what we often hear whenever we wish to sell a gun?

When asked to appraise a gun on paper, I always tell the owner if I am interested in owning the gun. At that point, he can look into my eyes and decide whether to go elsewhere for the appraisal. I have found out that some widder wimmen don't like to look into your eyes, especially if they are still in some kind of reasonable condition. They must be using some other procedure to determine your honesty.
