I talked with Cabelas today about a gun. I thought it over priced but what the heck it's only a phone call..Glendale Arizona to be exact.
Got some English sounding chap...talked with him about a gun they had. I asked him if it was a consignment gun...he said no. According to him the gun was in good shape mechanically...(the last guy at Cabelas that said that sold me a gun that was off face).
I guess because he had an English accent I was supposed to think he knew something.
I then told him that if the gun was in good mechanical condition it was at least a thousand maybe fifteen hundred dollars over priced because of almost no remaining finish...blackpowder proof...and short chambers. Short stocked with too much drop.
I told him if I bought the gun at the price he was asking and decided to sell it....I would be in for a very long wait.
He replied if someone doesn't buy it in six months to a year he might come down in price.
I'm beginning to think these guys live in a dream world...he's trying to sell a nostalgic shooter at best..not a collectible gun.
Here's the gun.
