How do we not know that the person that wanted it may do so for sentimental reasons also?
It's possible that either his father or someone else may have owned it at one time.
I paid $200 too much (at the time) to retrieve the last new rifle my father ever purchased.
It was an early Remington 700 in .264 Winchester with the blue "stainless" barrel on it and a custom Fajen stock. My father purchased it for an antelope hunt that he was never able to go on. He sold the rifle to a close friend, and I told the friend that if he ever wanted to sell it, give me first refusal.
He called one day, needing money, and I paid him the $500 he said a friend offered him for it.
Is it worth that now? Probably not.
But it is worth more than that to me.
Sorry for the drift, gentlemen.
Btw- .264's multiply! I now have three of them.
