Thats my problem. I just sold a pre64 M70 220 Swift and the tire kickers were a PIA. I'd planned of giving Steve Barnett some guns on consignment but thats unfortunately not going to happen. I'd rather put them with a dealer who has the contacts and for the 10% or so they would charge is worth it to me not to have to deal with the tire kickers. That door has closed now

Rich, even though Steve’s no longer with us, I understand his business is still quite viable, though without his personal touch.

Shane at CT Shotgun was good to deal with, as was Bill at Robin Hollow. Have not used Barnett, I will probably not deal with Puglisi. They have yet to answer one email inquiry I've sent or returned a call. When I got through I got a bit of an attitude when asking about a PH. Like it was a stupid question as to what the drops were (not listed) and what the serial number was (not listed) and whether he could send additional photos (long sigh...). I just told him forget it.
