I believe I'm guilty of having asked John a question or two a few years ago. I'm generally not the type to communicate with dealers until I have a real interest in purchasing a gun of the type I ask about. For me, asking about a gun means it's a candidate for purchase. I have not bought from John yet.
John, I trust my type is still on good terms with you and this thread is just passing time and shakin the bush?

"Interesting topic....but it belongs down below"
That's rich....coming from the shyster whose almost daily posts and comments all belong in the deleted recycle bin.
Bought and traded a few with John and he's a true gentleman to do business with.

I bought a Browning Superposed 20 ga from John 7-8 yrs ago. It was a really nice gun. I may have discussed 1 other gun with him at some point, not sure, but I've only purchased the one gun. I hope I'm not a tire kicker. He has nice things.
Socialism is almost the worst.

I only look at what I want and can afford to buy. From a buyers perspective I could complain about dealers, but won't, 90% are nice guys.

OK, you gotta get your story straight. First you said they call and only ask if the gun is still available. Then later you said they 'ask a bunch of questions and act interested.'
Which is it?

That was a 2 part statement that I made.
They do two things. They email and say they are interested in the gun and is it still available. You reply yes it is and you never here from them again. Sometimes I wait a day or two and email them and ask if they want to do something on it. They don't answer.
Second part: They asked all kinds of questions and you never hear from they again. Some of these guy have become familiar to us dealers.
I have no problem if guys inquire and ask questions if they are really interested in the gun.
IE: I personally get various ad verts on very high end cars that they want me to buy, I guess. While I am able to buy them, and like reading about them, I have not intentions to buy one. So I do not call and ask a bunch of questions and waste someones time.
This is what I am speaking about

John, This is mainly a forum for customers. Customers venting about dealers and gunsmiths is OK. Dealers venting about customers , not so much.
