This is a "type" usually found at gun shows:
The man is an old geezer retiree and gun enthusiast who cruises the retirement center where he lives for merchandise. He wears a cap at all the shows the says "Old Fart" on it and his sole knowledge of guns lies in his ability to look things up in the BBGVs. His mate attends the shows with him and wears a cap that says "Old Farts Wife". His pricing method is 10% over the highest price in the Blue Book on the theory that the stuff is listed too cheap so dealers can use the book for buying.
When you walk up to the table to ask a question the "Old Fart" is off someplace and "Mrs. Old Fart" is naturally clueless about anything for sale.If you actually find "Old Fart" at his table he'll spend the time you are there complaining about how slow his sales have been. He'll also tell you that people don't recognize quality as he points at a W. Richards priced at only $1200 and that's way below what it should be for a nice British gun like a Westley Richards.
