Here goes! In my humble opinion, I believe the guy at Gander Mountain decided NOT to buy your revolver and after all the time spent with the Blue Book looking it up etc., he just didn't know how to tell you he did not want your revolver. Some people have a hard time telling a person no. It's kind of like when you are set up at a gun show and a guy looks at one of your guns and lays it down and says he will be back...you know he is NOT coming back, so why doesn't he just tell you he does not want it?
