This advertisement loses,,,, big time
 
I have heard sons, widows, etc are very willing to sell guns undervalue. But selling by owner, at over 50% loss ?? What's wrong with this hardware? I did not see anything wrong.... did I miss something?

Probably not the hardware, but the economy, health, or some other reason.

The pictures don't show the SN's very well, the one on the rear toggle, doesn't look like 00 to me, more like 04 or 06.


He does say it is all matching and SN 900, but I would want to make sure before buying or bidding.

Some folks start lower and hope it will go up.

You get more bids starting lower, with no reserve than at the max amount IMHO...

Hi Vern, The seller actually says 900x, I think he's being cagey about that last digit. Regards, Norm

Doctor/hospital bills following extensive surgery and then having the hospital make you a one-time only good deal [like 1/3 of your bill to settle in 30 days] will do it...that's how I lost my AutoMag, Harley, JPR Wildcat, Bridgeport, South Bend, Miller, etc... :grr:

Low starting price + no reserve guarantees you'll get some $$$ out of it quick...

The same gun is listed on GA, s/n 9004. For some reason, seller decided to hide a digit on GB.

At least, another nice one will be sold on this no reserve auction. Many bidders before 4/15 is unlikely though.

Or he just had a typo.

Just as an aside, I don't see the 99% condition! I see alot of wear on the gun.
