I just buy old guns now. Do some research with serial numbers. And make up my own stories. I've got a couple or three very valuable guns. Just ask me!

It was as perfect as they could make it with the ideas that they had at the time. As their ideas/experience changed their idea of perfection changed as well.

Being that my bride is on this forum as well, I'm going to refrain from commenting as to not need to revisit the difference between cover and concealment at home...

I did just remember a story that is a reversal from the OP. What happens with the buyer may not be accurate on their story? I saw a gun for sale here that I really wanted. Been wanting one since I was a kid. The price was great but I waited too long and it was gone. My bad. The seller was great at communicating and told me it went to a good home where the persons son was going to use it on this first hunting trip, father / son bonding, etc, etc, etc. That took the edge off for me.

What did I find at the gun show THE VERY NEXT WEEKEND? The exact gun that was for sale here. THE gun, not a similar one. Guess it was a quick hunt. Strangely, the price was the same or lower than listed here. And now it is in my safe.

Eventually, the purchase price of virtually anything comes down to what a potential buyer is willing to pay for it.

Seems to me some of the girls in Olongapo were "almost virgins"

But, you were pretty sure about that before making a deal with them.

It was as perfect as they could make it with the ideas that they had at the time. As their ideas/experience changed their idea of perfection changed as well.

Example:

When I was in high school I thought my slut girlfriend was perfect. As I gained more experience and lived more life my idea of what was perfect changed and the qualities that I considered perfection evolved. For example, the woman had to be more than just available to me for lots of sex, being able to make a good sandwich, and being willing to carry a gun was also important. Hence "perfection" can change based on perception.

What kind of sammich?

What kind of sammich?

In her early career experience as a teenager the wife worked at a delicatessen first as an ice cream scooper and then as a sandwich maker so the sandwich options depend most on what ingredients we have in the house, other than that, lots of options.

For a while there I'd stop off at a gun store we are all familiar with and more often than not the "new", latest greatest handguns I were shown from the display cases weren't. Absolutely filthy and caked with fouling.
No, that's not new.

Brand new house. Only 150 years through it.

It is up to buyer to wade through b.s. and evaluate the deal on it's own merits. Some of the dubious descriptions and asking prices do keep me from even trying to deal on some items but that is just the way the cookie crumbles.

 

[gopherbaroque]

Getting back to the original post, a family favorite is "guaranteed used". Haven't been tricked by a new one snuck in yet.
