Yard sale 19-2

They often won't have any guns out for sell, but if you ask if they have any guns that they'd consider selling you occasionally get lucky and they say something like "Well, I've got some old guns that belonged to my Dad but I don't really know anything about them...".

Around here the police would just smile and buy it.
Next he'll say it was only $250..I gotta find me some yard sales like that....Closest thing I've seen to a gun at a yard sale only shoots staples.

Gives yard sales a good name. Great get.
Great score..........depending on the price of course.
I stop at yard sales sometimes and find a gem maybe 1 our of 10.
Years ago I bought a nice Single Six with both cylinders for $150 and another time an old M&P .38 for $110.

Nice score. Now that I'm retired and have lots of time maybe I should start hitting the garage sales 
A guy I once knew used to go to yard sales in all the retirement communities in the area. He wore a sign that said "I buy guns". I don't know how many S&W revolvers and LC Smith shotguns he stole from little old blue haired widows for a hundred dollars apiece. I told him I thought he was a reprehensible scoundrel but that didn't seem to bother him much. I have bought guns at yard sales, but always paid a fair price.

I didn't say anything as direct as "reprehensible scoundrel", but I mentioned that opinion on the GB forum one time, and was shouted down. The overwhelming consensus was that it was the little old lady's fault for not knowing the value of what she was selling.
You ain't alone on that one.
Twas around 2000, I was visiting my folks and went to help their neighbors, also an elderly couple, set up a yard sale. I had to explain to them that selling the little .25 auto and/or the single-shot .22 rifle that they had set out would likely mean they'd spend the rest of their lives in prison. They thought that was crazy, but put them back in the closet or wherever.
I call bull****. Even Kalifornia allows FTF sales.
Don't want to throw cold water on a fine purchase, but, how did you register it?
Nice find. Free states have much better garage sales obviously.

Ya know, it would only take you a wee bit o' typing and a few mouse clicks to look it up.
Oh, if only there were. As the laws are now, we'd all go to jail!
