I feel the pain of the dealer who recently sold me a high condition 1911 bar in iron hammer Purdey pigeon gun, original Whitworth 30" barrels. Lucky for me he probably does not visit this site. Regardless of my good buy, I see many items on Gardner and Holt's that I would buy if I could take them home in the back of my truck, same day as the purchase.
Yes, it is "very inconvenient" to pay buyer's premium, dealer fees, and shipping? Many is the unwary who has learned the hard way that hammer price is not what you pay in the end.
