Hi All, just was reading on another post about a guys experience at a gun show. This got me thinking (I know, bad idea). I thought I'd ask what kind experiences you all have had (good or bad).
With me, sometimes not good. The local show that we have here, boils down to a junk show or more like a swap meet. Most of the guns are overpriced and not in the best of shape. I like to curse the tables looking for SxS, alis, not to many.
Here's a couple of stories. One guy had a "Fox" BS-E in 12ga in good shape, used but good. He wanted $1200.00. I asked why so much and if he'd go down (and no I did not intend to buy it). He said that he'd drop the price $50.00 and the reason why it was priced is that it's a "AH Fox". I told him that the BS-E is nothing more than a dressed up Savage/Stevens 311. Boy did I get the look!! He told me if I didn't want to buy it to stop wasting his time and take a hike.
One time I asked the seller to look at a gun, he said sure once you pay me for it. I thought he was kidding, he was not. I wnet to just turn the gun over (bad on my part) and he asked me if I understood english, he then said no pay no touch.
These are just a couple of stories, I like you have many more. Most are good and some great guys, but the rotten guys, sure are fun.
So do you have any good stories to tell? Might be gun!
All the best!!
Greg
