Quoted:
Went to the big show this past weekend at the Atlanta Expo with the intent to find another old lever gun. What I found was priced thru the roof except for one guy had 1958 manufacture in fair condition. Only visible issues was a forearm swivel stud that had broke thru the wood. Bluing was a little worn. It was definitely one that had seen some use. He was asking $550 but immediately came down to $450. I hadn't been there long and wanted to see what else was available. After a while I headed back to offer him $400 cash and it was gone. He said he sold it for $400. This happens every time. Almost. Still haven't learned when you see it, buy it. You should know prices going in to the show. |
