Well its a contagious thing these Savage 24's. Over coffee she got up walked into the other room and returned with that Savage!! It had a red bow and read Merry Christmas!! WOW I was elated!! That was my second. When I returned to her house, she asked us to come in. I brought here to the shop to sign all the forms to sign. I made a few calls and was able to sell all but one expensive BT99 Browning 12G Trap gun. She doesn't know one from another so I did not even ask her.
She needed to have the remainder of the guns gone by the end of the year. Seems her own son gave her the business and sold the hand guns and she hasn't seen an dollar. ( Just before CHRISTmas, my friend gets a phone call form that same woman. Well her son got involved and felt he could do better on prices and did not need our help. I told her I would like the opportunity to buy that one and I would pay fair market price. Anyhow there was about 25 long guns and a few hand guns. Friend of a friend who passed away and together ''WE'' helped keep a widow form getting scalped. Its a very nice walnut stocked, case colored 24 in 22/410.Ī little over a year ago I had the opportunity to help someone sell a bunch of guns. Then about 15 years back I had some extra dollars and I found a beauty and I grabbed it! It cost me just over $300 back then.
I had plenty of opportunities thru the years, passing because of condition or too costly.
