Default A Plethora of Goodies!

I now work in a gun shop specializing in "classic" firearms. Every week or so, someone comes in with a near perfect example of a Smith and Wesson revolver. I am currently eyeballing a model 36 3 inch in near perfect condition and a 6 inch model 10 that was stored in the box in the waxed paper in a light well since 1958. I don't believe it has ever been loaded, nor the cylinder turned. I doubt I will ever receive a cent of pay from my boss!

You may want to get another part time job to pay for this job! :-)

It sounds like you are going in debt to the company store but starting a great collection.

Fred, it sounds like you are living the dream of all forum members. You can always take a second mortgage on your home.

When I was a kid I worked in a ski shop - never saw a full check.

Now, if your financial planning for retirement has been properly executed and you are solvent, carry on and strike at will!

Yes, I am jealous.

If you love guns, you're in the perfect position to skim off the cream that comes into the store. Hope you get the employee discount too. I had a friend that worked part time in a gun store. He never got paid either. Took his pay out in commemorative 1911 Colts. He didn't care about the money, he had a full time job.
