There ain't no f'ing wat he bought that for that price if it was a real one.

Wait until you see the new selling price

Registered mag owners all wear Rolex's...where's yours?

41

Starting bid for it now will be $15,000.00

What a nut job. I would never buy a Rolex on Ebay or any internet site. Even the experts can hardly tell the difference, especially from a bunch of pictures.

Can someone tell me what is wrong with the receiver on this..ahem...restored Savage?

GB item # 115469533

Perhaps I'm wrong, but having the receiver done like that isn't "restored" in my book.

I know that they didn't use true color case on inexpensive guns like that...but it originally didn't look anything like that, did it?

Oops . . . look what I found again, trying to slip away back on page three!

Back to the top you go!

Not really. The solution is simple. If not provided, you request high quality pics of the movememnt (and have enough knowledge to know what you are looking for and looking at). No different than anything else.

Again, not so. See above.

Fugates are serious gun buyers. Last Indy 1500 they bought 41 and at Tulsa they bought a truckload. I've got a couple of friends who are serious gunshow sellers and they are pals with Fugates. Said they were going to do better than 2 million in sales this year.

Lets do a little numbers for scale, shall we?

If their primary business is just firerams-
and that primarily used guns...

Let's put it in perspective with a new gun dealer.

The average price of a firearm in the US is now hovering around the $400 range. At that, that would mean that they would have to sell 5000 firearms to equal $2M.

That would be 96 sales a week...
And based on a five day work week- right at 19 a day!

Even if you double the price of the average gun to $800 and cut the numbers in half, that's still about 10 a day based on a five day work week.

Not only that, they would have to do that day in and day out- every single day.

I sincerely believe the numbers are against it unless they have a full "crew" like some of the gun shops we have down here. I have never been in their shop, so I don't have a clue how large it is- but it would be impossible for even a four or five man operation to do that kind of volume.

Plus, the volume is in bargains.
Take their neighbor Bud's for instance...

Just my two-cents.

Andy,

Your scenario assumes that they sell all their guns for $400.00.

Probably a very incorrect assumption if they are dealing in high-end collectible pieces.

I don't think that your analysis has much validity in the real world. You simply don't have enough information to come to a valid conclusion about how much business they do, or don't, actually engage in.

They may be the subject of scorn here, but in the real world, to people who don't know them, money talks and BS walks...

Considering the majority of their GB and Homesite offerings (80%+) are the same ones listed for well over the last 90-120 days, I would have to state with conviction they are NOT doing anywhere near $1Million in sales except for perhaps Psychotropic drugs!

In case you've missed it...
