Ok, to start off, some of my personal favorite gems:

"Rare as hen's teeth"
"Over $x invested"
"Test fired once then put in climate controlled safe"

My glock is pre-ban. I got it in 1992 or so. However, the fact it is made before the AWB has no effect on a handgun.....

[b]NO SHIT![/b] Man, I got sick of hearing that one! Before they went out of business, a sales rep at a store in Fairfield, OH called Relo Sporting Goods tried to tell me that.  Now I'm young, but this guy was at [b]least[/b] 300 lbs and with a 50 in waist, trying to tell me that his "secret" unit in Vietnam used such and such rifle (I think it was a Daewoo).  Give me a break! I just turned around and left the store. I wish I could remember that scumbags name. Oh well. Why people have to disgrace the accomplishments of others to feel better about their sorry lives, I will never understand.

Car salesmen that are stupid.  I am holding a print out of the invoice price from KBB and another dealer and this old fart salesman says. The price listed on the car is the invoice price, thats what we pay for it from the manufacturer.  I couldnt stop laughing and just walked out.  We may not get another one of them for several months.  Doesnt matter that he has 50+ plus in his lot.  Yes, all those are sold!

Yesterday at the fun show a dealer at the table next to mine was selling an AR-15 to a father and son who didn't own any military-style rifles.  The post-ban rifle had one of those muzzle brakes held on with four set screws.  I overheard the dealer tell them, "If you want, you can take this muzzle brake off yourself.  That's because it is illegal to weld a muzzle brake to a post-ban rifle."

"Pre-Ban" w/neutered bayo lug and virgin muzzle.

"I'm selling this for hundreds under what they go for new": a guy with a ratty PM-11/9 (post-ban) and five synthetic magazines who wanted $850 for it. I had the urge to rip it out of his hands and beat him to death with it.

Last funshow I was at picked up an AR forging to look at,Dealer says:"they're not gonna make those anymore" (I did buy it only cause it was $20 bucks with blueprints and I was looking for one anyway but I rolled my eyes for effect)

At the Jeep dealership while we were ordering the Cherokee (HAD ALREADY ORDERED/BOUGHT THE CAR) second salesman walks in to our salesguys office and sees the brouchure we are reading "Lookin at a Cherokee Huh ? The boss just told me we arent going to order any more of those" -- I guess he was trying to convince us to buy one of the 100,000 on the lot.
My wife "We just did"
2nd Salesguy "Didnt know we could do that"
Wife "Order cars from the factory??"
2nd Salesguy "yep"
Wife " Glad we didnt talk to you then"
2nd salesguy walks out. Our salesguy is under desk spitting cola out his nose.

When buying a gun on EE or anywhere, don't you usually add a zero or two to the number of rounds they say where fired?


just found this one on EE, has a lot of the things listed in this thread
This is one honey of a pistol. It is a conservative 95%+ and comes with one original preban 14 rd mag, 625.00 SHIPPING INCLUDED to you FFL. The buyer will have the option of purchasing a package deal on 2 additional preban mags for 75.00 ea. These usually go for 90.00 + and are not real easy to find. The pistol has only had a few hundred rds through it and the slide is smooth as glass. Payment to be made with cashiers check, money order or paypal with 3% added. I will post a picture here later.

"If my prices are too low, I can always raise them for you..."

Yes, I got this one last gunshow, from the guy I bought a 92 Elite from for $450 (w/ 2x factory 10's and 2x 15's). I thought it was pretty cheap, but everything else was pretty expensive.

Since the monkey with a cold commercial was brought up... the same company (cell phone company) has another commercial w/ richard simmons in a boat on a lake. Lots of sellers should get the same reply as the end of that commercial... "Some people just weren't meant to be heard!"

While not my ad, I can honestly say that I have 2 [b]NIB[/b] Mossberg Model 500 shotguns.
1 is a 12ga combo I bought in '96
and the other is one I got about 3 years ago in 20ga.

I've got a couple other goodies that have seen less than 50 rounds total since new.  All were put in the safe AFTER a cleaning!  [:)}

When I was shopping for my latest vehicle in 2000, I did my research.  I was asked by the sales[girly]man what I was looking for and if he could help (?).

I told him and he told me that the car I wanted doesn't have that option(s).

I told him BS, told him to go RTFM (Read the F'n manual (Brochure))  It's sad to go to a dealer and know MORE about a car then they do.
