Gone in the wind
One of a few things happened here.
1) Someone called immediately after Ryan did and offered much more for the gun. Like $2000 plus. And it wasn't me. I didn't see it.
2) One of the employees or one of the employee's friends wanted the gun, so they came up with this BS story about some policy that doesn't exist.
3) Another employee already sold the gun and to save face, rather than admit they made a mistake, they came up with this BS policy.
Depending on who at Cabela's is buying the gun, they take a wild ass guess as to what it's worth after looking at the on-line BlueBook and they make the seller an offer. At that low of a price, the employee has no management oversight. So, the buyer didn't know what they were buying and the seller didn't know what they were selling. The perfect storm of an incredibly low price. Probably a grand kid or a widow. It happens more often than you think.
There is one store in the chain that would not sell me any guns for about two years. The fool running the gun department said I had "something" going. He said he didn't know what, but that I had "something" going. Only after having a few other managers and a district manager stick up for me has the guy now decided to sell me guns. You're talking about a bunch of $15 an hour people here.
I will say that is one hell of a gun. The whole situation is too bad.
