there once was an occasion 3-4 years ago, a member came on and told about a purchase he had made from a neighbor's widow.... he was bragging about the way below market value he had given her...ended by saying she didn't know the value of the luger and he got it cheap......

that is an unacceptable way to do business.......honesty will make you sleep better at night.....

I remember that. Makes a person feel sick reading it. Sometimes, “what comes around goes around”. His widow may get the same treatment one day.

That stuff does come back to bite people. I have a conscious and could never do that. One time I looked at some guns a lady was selling for her mom and her dad passed away and helped her look up blue book values and she had one Lee-Enfield that was a weird Irish Constabulary Rifle that was made from a Lee Metford and worth a good chunk of change. I got her in touch with a collector who got her the real value for it even though I didn't buy a thing. Goodness to people in need will be repaid just like being a douche to people in need will be repaid to you also . Ive seen it many times

Heartless, for sure. Remember that "success" in business correlates heavily with sociopathy.
