Mercy! That's a good site to peruse when you're perhaps feeling a bit fat in the head and a tad too proud of yourself and need to be knocked down a notch to where you're somehow feeling a financial failure and absolutely and totally inadequate and undeserving of the planetary oxygen you've been utilizing in your efforts at a productive life!

Ha! I don't need that site for that. If I need that kind of correction just need to ask the wife to me help me out. She may even put a little extra stank on some of those comments, just for posterity.

You boys don't understand Kevins business plan, prices are set high so he doesn't have to replace inventory and he adds in the depreciation the customer will endure when they walk out door with there new acquisition.

I stopped in there once while in Georgia Quail hunting. He is very, very proud of his inventory. While at the Southern a year or so ago he had a gun I was moderately interested in. I asked about a trade and took a 90% DHE 20 with straight grip, BTF, SST, and 30 inch vent rib barrels. His evaluation of my gun was $5K I have never looked at his site again and if he has something on a web site like Guns International I just skip over it.

I lived in FL about 25 years ago and was fortunate to hunt some of the GA. Plantations. He’s always been high priced even back then. His business, his perogative. As someone said his clientele have deep pockets and he probably gets some of those crazy prices. Makes me chuckle.

Well, just goes to show you that if he has been around that long, obviously knows something about his niche market and maybe submarket. Like I said if he is getting some of the prices for the guns he has in inventory its hard to say if that is good or bad. Good if your selling, bad if your buying. But the sell of one or two or maybe even a dozen guns does not make a market.

Gut tells me the person that is buying his guns are not necessarily the same ones that buy off the sites. As far as him going to shows and events. He might sell a gun there, but he is probably looking to buy low and sell high, maybe astronomical is the right word.

BTW have never listed a gun but I think its maybe a low barrier to entry to list a gun on some of those sites. He might sell one there, if not its just another marketing piece for him. Again I don't know the guy and have no dog in the fight. I don't have a gun to sell him and I won't be buying from him anytime soon. But he does have some neat guns and a dedicated section devoted to SXS. So not a bad a thing.

Thanks!! One of these days I am hoping I can find the time to travel and shoot with some of the “ regulars” on our site! For the fin of the shoot, and to put a voice and a face to the posts!!

Spent some time in Texas and you need to figure which generation you are speaking to......the old generation that earned that old money are often some super guys but some of the later ones want to own it just to show it off and will pay whatever it takes to have it, whether it is a gun or a high dollar Shelby Mustang convertible. I can see some who would pay ridiculous prices just to show off a Parker but I enjoyed knowing the first generation and some of them could shoot like Doc Holiday.
