Or buying the white Steinway baby Grand dropped in the Farmer's Insurance TV commercial, while Little Richard is present- as a "fixer-upper" for your next Carnegie Hall gig--
I'm not saying that one can't walk into very nice classic shotgun at the Gun Library. Such things can happen. For example, in late 90s when Reed's was at Boulevard Mall I walked in there to get Valentines Day gift. I was shocked to see two brand new Patek Philippe dress watches with 18k gold cases and alligator straps. They cost about $8,500 a piece back then. I had to pinch my nose real hard and I felt the pain.
I would say in general one does not go to Cabela's to buy investment grade Holland, Boss or Purdey.
