If the first friend mentioned above had such an experience he would not have bought the 12/20 that kicks him like an ****hole and someone else who really likes it would have had it at a reasonable price.

Sounds like rational capitalism to me.

Other than maybe the lego museum, do you know of any examples of interactive high end collectibles museums? It's good of you to let folks try the nice guns, do the socialists ask first, offer to pay for shells? It's an awkward rationale.
