What'd you guys pick up at the gun buyback today in Seattle?

[schibbyzoltan]

Just saw the Kiro 7 news report on the buyback and saw some people buying guns from other people. If you were there and got anything, what'd you get?

Nothing. Was there for the last hour (11-12) got outbid on a .22 and shotgun.

 

[PinoyBoy]

People were bidding?

Brother-in-law just emailed me that he picked up a very nice 1966 Savage 110 with a Redfield scope down there for $200, sling and canvas case. Young woman owner said it was her fathers and it "creeped her out" having it in her house. He said it was quite a popular event with some real eye popper deals made.

OMG is that a Winchester model 1873 or 1876? in the last photo???? Cresent butt plate????

 

[mattdomes]

Looks like you made out like a bandit!

The Seattle Times posted the used launcher tube like it was a big deal.

Little do they know you can buy a much more realistic looking rocket launcher at Amazon, the same people who sponsored this buyback!

Seattle's ‘buyback' nets mayoral hypocrisy, interesting math

Turnout at Seattle's much-ballyhooed gun "buyback" Saturday was reportedly very good with "hundreds" of people showing up, but if one is to believe details of all the reports, there is some curious math at work.

I posted this on one of the other threads. Evidently a lot of people made out well: Bundle of guns | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

[aslinged]

So it's basically an impromptu gun show. Sweet.

There's a couple in there I can part with.. looking to get a CZ75 so I need some cash. I'll post some pics of what I can sell.

Anyone score a lever action in .38 / .357?

Damn, I wished I could have gone and bought some guns! Bravo to the guys who went there and saved some quality pieces from the smelter.

 

[Stomper]

LOL.... RPG tube! You should have told them it was a Pilgrim era Tactical Blunberbuss with a shoulder thingy that pops up, and was used at the Battle of Plymouth Rock.

 

[ZigZagZeke]

I think I see a Winchester 94 and a Winchester 1873, or maybe replicas. Hard to tell from the photo. Is that what they are?

 

[Oklahomie]

That launcher would be an awesome pick up line.

I got there a bit later and the SPD was directing people to park up the hill and walk back in, even knowing the event had already been shut down. I wonder if some of them were trying to get people up the hill to where the buyers were?

I wanted to sell an old, broken, irreparable .22 but was too late. Brought some cash too but didn't see anything I wanted.

Maybe next time . . .
