They had boxes of these things stacked up on the counter of a LGS here for cheap. Some other gun stores wouldn't handle this type of product. Last Sunday, a guy in my church who loves auctions told me that bunches of them are showing up at the auctions. These auctions handle the inventory of gun stores that have gone bankrupt and closed. They also handle lots of other stuff (like a 1970 GTO that sold for a fortune). Anyway, this guy buys one of these little 22's for $130. I don't say anything. . .just scratching my head. Auctions will make you think you're getting a deal as often as not. Personally, I'd get a Ruger Bearcat just like I did back in the 1960's when they first came out. To each his own.
