Sandanona Game Fair

I heard the same from August, he told me to just be there it's going to become bigger and better each year. And HARRY you're going to keep seeing it go this way. Two big shoots with big vendors who spend MONEY on a table because the price they pay is recovered very quickly with good sales. If you want a garage sale go find one I guess. Mike's shoot is different, it's all about the SHOOTING and really bad shirts. Either way you're gonna have to get off your wallet at some point Harry : )

Easy now I’ve always had atleast one tweed sports coat in my closest for the last fifty years . Usually had two most times a dark grey one and greenish or brownish one . But I used to wear a tie and sports coat to UVA football games and to steeplechase horse races . Now I don’t attend either

P.S. Andy, you mentioned my wallet. I remember watching you open your wallet at Hausmann'n,
The only thing I saw come out of it was a ''Flock of Moth's''

Harry

No Harry I actually bought a gorgeous Turnbull restored Parker from Robin Hollow, and have bought more than a few guns at Mikes, and many in private sale. You just have your diaper in a knot because I won't buy from you. I have cash, but you ain't getting it.

Bill Hadfield and August Morris both had grins on their faces because one just sold the other a really (really really) nice gun.

You know I’ve always believed a person oughtta sell their stuff on its merits and not by knocking their competition . I’ve never heard Josh say anything negative about the competition or Allgood or August or Fuetrel or any of them for that matter except YOU !

There's an idiom about mud wrestling with a pig Craig so I choose not to mud wrestle with him here. I'll just say that the price becomes reasonable when a person likes you and you treat them well and have repeat business. And the fact of the matter is that sometimes they just have what you WANT. 28" IC/M VHE Turnbull restored with a factory mid bead for a price south of any of Harry's pedestrian guns he tried to unload on me. Oh, and $200/flat Gun Clubs.
