Two Combat Masterpieces

[standerson]

She gave to me for the original $800. I explained to her several times how much they were worth. She told me "Keep telling me, and I'll raise the price."

I've been married long enough to know when to shut up.

Her dead bolt quit working so I stopped by and installed one we had laying at the house.

She told me "looks like $100 to me!".

Might get to keep my kidney.

The Director (of finance and sex) found out what happened, she just shook her head and smiled

And therein lies your reward! If it was me,I would HAVE to tell the B-I-L. Can't help it,it's just the way I am.

I'm late getting in on this but, this is why I enjoy the Forum. So many good people willing to do "what's right" or treat other people good when they don't have to. Good for you brother!!

Ermagherd! They're very nice! $1250 isn't far off, I just bought a 15-2 in 75% and I paid $650 for mine. There were several in similar condition to mine with nicer grips for $800-1000

The B.I.L. may of had plans to sell the revolvers as soon as he could for a tidy profit.

Many years ago I got my lake property for a good price. The former owner found out his son was using the old cabin as a lovers nest with the company secretary. The old man didn't like his son messing around on the mother of his grand kids. He did what he could to put a stop to it.

Don't worry, this is precisely what gun budgets are for.

GUN and BUDGET have never been in the same sentence in my brain!! You did good with the purchase. Stop overthinking it and enjoy the purchase - life is too short!

Side note!

From a guy who knows a little about presentation cases! A Walnut, plain Jane, presentation case would cost me $100 and for me to make a set of liners for those guns I would charge $100. Your heart was in the right place! Too bad the gun budget got hit, you'll find more for the gun budget! Way to go Navy!

Around here $1250 was a bargain. You did not get hosed at all, You got a good deal. ENJOY.

You do realize this thread is from 2015, don't you? The $1250 price six years ago may have indeed been generous.

My dad got rid of a bunch of guns long before I was interested in them. I would love the have the chance to pay a premium for what he got rid of.

Did the secretary come along with the cabin?

 

[Euclid]

She has a daughter. I told her these need to stay in the family but the daughter, nor her children, have any interest. The Brother In Law is a ****. There is a "family price" and then there is a "fair price".

I didn't intend to start a bidding war. Just wanted to make sure she didn't get taken advantage of.

Kinda hosed myself.

What you did was honorable.
