They assured me this was something of interest and they would take it on trade. I emailed two more times to confirm.
The guy's wife runs the gunbroker auctions and handles the emails.
Long story short, I drove 1.25 hours to this little shop in the middle of nowhere only to be received by a distruntled old man. He showed no interest, he insulted my trade, and his prices are 100-250 overpriced. He wanted 560 for a Rock Island 1911! The guy's reference book is from 1996 and he couln't find another Rock Island on gunbroker to compare to.
I would STAY AWAY from these people. They are unpleasant, unprofessional, and unhospitable. |
WOW John must have been having a bad day. I have been in there many times and bought all but 2 of my firearms from him. I have never been overpriced andthe last gun i bought was 200 cheaper at his shop then it was at a shop in Kokomo. Sorry to hear about your bad experience with him
