It's interesting enough. After I listed it, before long one guy liked it and offered to buy it at my listing price. I was kind, saying I would give you $50 discount. If I were a buyer, I would be happy. But, you know... this world is complex, he might think I gave him discount because I was desperate or this gun has some hidden issue or something (guesstimation) He changed his mind and wanted me to sell it at $900....

That's very close to my cost. If it were a gun that I want to sell, no problem, I would sell it and get my money back. But not this one though. Collecting good gun has one advantage, if it sells, I get my compensation. If it does not sell, I don't suffer because I like it myself.
