So, you've just been outbid for Lord Mountbatten's Purdeys.
The anonymous phone bid has pulled the rug out from under you - you coulda been a player - it would have been a real Gunshop-bbs coup for you, with a topic like, "Got my Mountbatten Purdeys today" lots of pictures to follow guys.
Or! Would you?
Who are these guys who win at the vanity level?
Is there some secret bbs for them to post in?
I mean, how could you not tell!

Lowell:

You know that mobile home park, the one just outside the boundaries of sprawling Glenthorne Manor? Whenever you notice an odd odor coming from that direction DON'T BREATHE THOSE FUMES!

Purdey is hard to beat. One can trace roots of know how to good ole' John Twigg one of the first English gunmakers to make quality double on that island. The 'Ghost Value' is off the scale!

Good question Mr. Glenthorne! Makes me wonder too sometimes. They must be a quite secretive group, because I never see posts like "Just got my royal .410ga pair from Lewis Drake today" or "What wood did you choose for your new Paradox gun?". Im sure we have some board members who would drop a 100k on a fine purdey or fabbri, but then again if I was spending money like that I guess I wouldnt be shouting to the world how rich I am. As far as being outbid by phone, well, maybe it was by a close "friend" of the auction house. When you know the right people, its amazing what you can accomplish. Tell you what, if I ever order a new Purdey hammer gun or the new H & H Paradox, Ill let you know, and Ill post pictures. Im afraid that by the time that I have enough money to even put a down payment on one of those, the internet and this fine bbs will be old technology and long forgotten! sigh, if I was only the son of a rich Texas oil barron. I could have all the high grades of all the fine makers

Does this mean my meager accumulation of Sterlingworth's, NID's, and Nitro Specials don't qualify for snob appeal? Egads, somebody gimme the moonshine jug please.

Thornman,
You know the game is rigged in every way, always has been. There are special keys and phone #'s for everything. Problem is with the above you must also have the gelt as not everything in Inside World is a bargain...just more accessible. Be content knowing you lack the credentials. It's not all scotch and cigars there either.

Hansli, hearsay, or been there?
...if its the latter, pray tell us more about the inner workings of the high end gun buyer.
