I don't think I'd name names even if I knew them. I think it's probably more my fault than anything. I was stupid enough to talk specifics before I had secured the Parker. I often forget that we live in the age where the words we type today may come back to bite us tomorrow. Even though I wouldn't conduct business the same way - the double edged sword of the Internet, has made true "bargains" hard to come by, so you can't blame people for trying. Had I not been able to come up with the money - someone would have been glad they called and left the messages. If I had a bigger "gun fund" I would have bought it right away and this minor drama all could have been avoided. I was fortunate to be dealing with good people and lucky to own a small bore Parker. Yeeeha!
