I'm not a fan of nickel plated guns. If I want shiny, I go with stainless. That being said, I would judge that you did pretty well for yourself on this gun, and since nickel ones are pretty rare compared to blue, maybe I would even upgrade it to "very well". The fact that it stayed there unsold for two weeks is just one of those things. Maybe you were just meant to have it. Enjoy!
