I visited my favorite gun shop this afternoon. They told me that they had taken in a gun and sold it immediately that I might have been interested in. Turns out, they bought a .44 Magnum 5 screw and a customer who watched the transaction offered them a nice profit. He took away the like new .44, probably a 6 1/2, because they did not think it was a 4". They hesitated a bit on telling me what the customer had paid. Finally, they said,,,, $650! They had bought it for $450 and were happy to make a nice profit in minutes. I told them the gun was worth $2000 before I could stop myself.
One of them said he was going to call me, but this guy was a on site willing buyer.
I'm not sure it would have been worth $2000, but from their description, it was like new, so it was worth way more than $650!
Oh well.
