Doug,

I am no expert, but have done well in most of my firearm transactions by sticking to one ethic: Buy the best you can get for the money you spend. This takes a great deal of time, research and searching, but the results are impressive.

I am not a rich man and I haven't worked in nearly 5 years, so I must be frugal. I most definitely agree that resell has a very strong bearing on my purchase and your gun at its purchase price gives me no "warm feeling" at all. I have purchased far better for less and you should also.

I have returned guns that were described as excellent or xx% that were 00% and have chalked it up to learning which I will continue to do as long as I am breathing. The day I stop learning turn my own gun on me. For some amusing reading of one of my learning experiences, tune to Jan Still's Gunboard and read my thread about my purchase of an Eagle/M shotgun. It will bring a smile to your face. Luckily, I had done enough price research that I am not in to the shotgun over market, I just don't have any interest in it after finding its real identity.

So you have to answer one question: Deal or No Deal. I have to vote for No Deal.
