Well, Gwimer just "won" a 27-2 5" on Gunbroker for $555...anyone care to guess at whether it shows up on his website or auction at DOUBLE or TRIPLE the price he paid for it?

Oh, the auction # is 115760609 if anyone wants to look.

Goggle George Wimer but hold on to your sense of humor and wallet!!!
 
HOLY COW!!!


Those are some interesting prices that he came up with! 6k for a 27-2....25,000 for a gold/blue 27-2. And the sad part is, he probably sells some of them.
 
Good googly moogly, Fred! Who buys at those prices? They should spend some time around these boards....
 
George is so full of BS that they can bury him in a piano crate when he dies. Unbelievable!
 
Left this shady character IMO a e-mail through GB on a 3" 66-2 that he was asking 1K for. Mine was an Ashland run with wood grips, his had rubber and the left side looked different, but was rated 99%. Asked about the differences and received no answer. Wrote again and was blocked. I understand supply and demand but this dude is really taking some folks for an expensive ride. Going to google his name now. I HATE liars and thieves!!
 
He's currently high bidder on a nickel 58. I'd hate to see him get it. It would never be affordable again.
 
It's easy to fix this. Simply whenever you see this ******* bidding on something send the owner an e-mail letting him know that this Wimer character is planning on listing it for thousands more. Which means it may be worth far more than what he is bidding.
 
I'm sure Wimer will price it into the stratosphere. He and Mr. Fugate ask insane prices and the people who pay them are even more insane.
 
I guess I don't see the issue here. GW can pay what he wants for a gun and sell it for what he wants. If the sales price was so low then why didn't somebody else bid it up? If his asking price is so high then knowlegeable people won't buy it. The only downside I see is that someone at the next gun show will think their gun is worth a lot more after seeing GW's asking price.
But you don't have to buy that gun either.

Exactly...well stated. Sort of like a used car lot...if it's priced too high, don't buy it.
That said, I have had a couple of gun show sellers use GW's ads as an example to show their ovrpriced guns were "reasonable". Always good for a chuckle.

I bet that one is "rare" and he'll post it for $2000.

I've always been astounded by the prices he asks. I can't believe anyone would buy from him, but some people must be doing it.

That would be 'Transactional Interference'. If it were my auction and you put your two cents in, I'd graphically tell you where to put it. It isn't your business.

If the guy selling the gun is happy with what he gets, who are you to rub his nose in it??

Crimony--

It's called CAPITALISM. Free market and all-- How would you feel if someone squashed a sale of yours due to contributing their 'unwanted' opinion to your buyer?
 
Here is another Gwymer SPECIAL on GB for $1355.00. It is a lettered 657 and if you read the letter it is in a blue finish. To these eyes the revolver is stainless. IMO the gun looks well used and from looking at the recoil shield has had quite a few rounds down the chamber. Does S&W actually blue a stainless revolver? Mine is in that run, 95+ condition and is tighter that you know what. "A sucker is born every minute" applies here IMO. I know what free enterprize is but I could not sleep at night knowing I've took someone of their hard earned money, especially in this crappy economic state we are in. JMO and I'm sticking to it.

He won an auction for a nice 58 that I had on GB. He paid well over $800 for it and I am happy. If he can sell it for more, more power to him, but I wouldn't pay more.........

Michael Jackson can bleach his skin and turn himself into some ugly white woman. It's his life. He can do whatever he wants.

But we're still going to make fun of him.

Guaranteed that is a mistake in the letter.
