He'll xray it for that price, won't he?

davidkachel · 12-12-2006, 11:32 AM

No doubt he has a "once you've opened the box, no returns" policy.

c3006 · 12-12-2006, 11:33 AM

Wonder why it came from winchester??

davidkachel · 12-12-2006, 11:42 AM

BTW, I am selling Hermann Goering's corpse in a taffeta party dress for $10,000.
No pics though... he doesn't want to come out of the closet.

Jack Lawman · 12-12-2006, 12:33 PM

I'm thinking two possibilities....
[list=1][*]He got ripped off himself and is trying to recover[*]He is an out and out crook[/list=1]

I'm going with number one. The fact that he'd even make a listing like that makes it entirely believable

.

P.S. I got him down to $2500... I'll let you all know what it looks like

.

davidkachel · 12-12-2006, 12:42 PM

If he got ripped off and is trying to recover, then he is also an out and out crook.

Only other possibility: there really is a John Wayne commemorative in the box and the guy is just a complete moron!

Would you like to trade that box for whats behind curtain #2?

lugerholsterrepair · 12-12-2006, 02:35 PM

(only to inspect condition which is MINT!!!). No pictures because I will not remove it from original shipping carton. I guess he had it out once but forgot to take pictures? What a kook. Jerry Burney

davidkachel · 12-12-2006, 02:38 PM

Hey Jerry,

Are the Yuma gun shows as great as they used to be? (I'm talkin' way back to the 60's)
Man I miss those!

Hugh · 12-12-2006, 03:24 PM

When did Winchester make Colts

I'll bet it's one of those Nat'l Historical Society monstrosities!

davidkachel · 12-12-2006, 03:38 PM

Maybe the guy is trying to start a whole new level of collecting:

New, in the box, in a box!

"Here's my collection of NIB firearms, in boxes.
Don't open the box! You'll reduce the value. Just use your imagination to see what's inside!"

Hey, people went for Beanie Babies, didn't they!

lugerholsterrepair · 12-12-2006, 03:38 PM

David, I got two of my best Lugers at the Yuma show..a 1916 Artillery and a 1917 Navy. Sometimes they can be great as Calif. dealers come over here since California is so restricted. No matter what they are close and always interesting!
Hugh..Good eye! I missed that! I have some old cardboard boxes in the shed I might sell....Jerry Burney

davidkachel · 12-12-2006, 03:42 PM

And to think I could have saved all the money I have invested in firearms and just bought some boxes and masking tape instead.

Hugh · 12-12-2006, 03:57 PM

I remember those Yuma gunshows in the '60's, used to drive all the way from California to them. I was collecting Colt SAA's instead of Lugers back then. Sold most of them when I went thru my divorce in '84. Started buying Lugers about 12 yrs ago, and now I'm selling some of them to buy Colt SAA's.

go figure

davidkachel · 12-12-2006, 04:09 PM

Hugh,
Do you remember two slightly obnoxious teenagers at the Yuma shows who thought they new it all?
One fat, one skinny.
That was me and my friend Ralph (dead now, hounded to death by the FBI, but that's another story).

(I was the skinny one... but no more!)

Curly1 · 12-12-2006, 08:04 PM

WoW just when you thought you seen everything another knucklehead raises the bar.

Jack Lawman · 12-13-2006, 07:38 AM

Curly,
Your trooper is all heffed up on goofballs!

What's up with that?

Jack

Parabellus · 12-13-2006, 08:12 PM

I had almost convinced myself this guy is joking. Then I remembered this one.
