A good laugh

[Mike B]

I have GOT to share this story with forum members. Today, I had to drive to New Orleans. That two hour trip from my home took my past a major sporting goods store. ( I guess I should not mention names.) But there are many such stores in many states; they boast of having a "Gun Library". That being the case and their asking to buy guns, I thought I would take a few guns to see what kind of offer I would get. Here is what I brought;

1) Remington 700 classic in 300 Weatherby mag with a 3X9 Leupold scope.

2) Winchester model 70 pre 64 in 257 Roberts, re-chambered to 257 Weatherby mag with 2.5X8 Weaver scope. Both 1947 vintage.

3) Safe & Loaded Luger in 92-95% condition

4) Swiss alphabet commercial Luger in 95% condition.

Here is their offer

$300 for the Remington
$350 for the Winchester
$500 for the Safe & Loaded
$600 for the Swiss.

If these folks buy guns for these prices, I am not surprised they are successful. Honestly it was so ridiculous, I had to laugh in his face. Although tempted to say something ugly, I just said thank you and left.
