Yard sale buy of the YEAR!!!! - Page 6

Very happy for you Allan and it keeps the fires of hope burning that there are still treasures to be found. I am sorry you have been the target of some nasty, jealous emails which to my mind have no place on a site like this. Andy

I just went through all the posts in response to Alan's 410 yard sale 'find' and except for one post that I would consider 'negative', the rest were outright complimentary of Alan's finding this Parker 410 or were about how others have experienced various yard sale finds. Unless Alan received some pm's that were not complimentary, the vast majority of posters I think were in the main congradulatory. Anyone would hope to have a find like this, it's not jealousy, it's wishful thinking.

Alan, congrats on a great 'find' and keep posting no matter what. This is a great story and a dream come true.

I always thought this site had a bunch of guys with a lot of class but for some it appears I was wrong. I will post a picture as soon as I return home next week . I tried to get my wife to take a picture and email it to me so I could post it but it came out about 1 inch tall and 2 inches long???? I have no idea how she did that but I give her an A for trying

just point them out

GREAT BUY AND GOOD FOR YOU, scott

Allen Newell, my comments were directed toward the emails not the posts which were very positive . Andy

That's what I figured Andy after having gone back and read all the posts. thanks for stating it in the clear though.

Alan, sorry for misspelling your name. I'm still waiting for the PM.

Alan, I will offer $1 more than Mr. Murphy's best offer. Whatever I pay, it will be worth it.

Greg,

I was thinking the same thing. Heavy check books are a bad Idea at .01 percent lol.

If I knowingly advised a widow that the gun she was selling was worth 10% of its wholesale value and then bought that gun from her at that price I would be ashamed.

If I came upon a gun for sale at 10% of its wholesale value and then bought that gun at the asking price I would sleep with a clear conscience that night

Nice buy Mr. Kirchner.

First off very nice find on the .410! I can't wait to see pictures! We are attending a dog trial in Connecticut this weekend so we left early to go to Cabalas in East Hartford. I brought along a very nice Remington 1100 "D" Grade Skeet 12 gauge for a possible trade. The gun is 95% their offer on it was $350.00! I also brought a Fox Sterlingworth 12 gauge it has 60% colors 80% blue and refinished wood. Their offer $175.00! I can't imagine how many widows brought guns into Cabalas and took offers like this!
