Last I heard Crystalship was leaving us. Moving if I remember right. Don't want to start a rumor though that's just what I seem to remember, perhaps someone that knows that for sure could chime in.
He would have gotten a BETTER deal at DONS about $250 to $300.

Wow, the internet is such a powerful tool. Just plugged the number into google, and after a few clicks found that the phone number is registered to an individual in Evansville, IN...so it could be a member here.

 

[Waveraider]

There's no way he paid 500 bucks for that.If he's listing it on the net, he can do a google search for the real value.

 

[g00n24]

Either that or he went to Don's

that's what i was thinking

 

[WILSON]

Cripes, even Don's or Blyths in Griffith wouldn't charge $500 for that thing.
I ended up on a google-trek; the phone number shows some junk he's selling on Craig's list ( 812 430-5082 - Google Search ), but it's just not worth the time to screw with the seller,... or call him on the price.

Was @ a local shop a couple of wks ago & heard about this guy who flipped out @ the sight of Glock pistols for $470. He was upset because he got "a package deal" @ Don's. It consisted of a Glock pistol, Fobus holster & mag pouch & 1 box of ammo. All of this for the paultry sum of .................... $1000!!!

 

[Misplaced Yankee]

Alright, which of you guys did this.

Hi-Point 9mm ***SCAM****

I thought people weren't going to mess with colt anymore. jk

 

[Jerry]

It's an Evansville number, but I have don't think there are any local gun shops with the reputation of Don's. I'm going to go out on a limb and say he's fishing for a sucker...


Edit:
Haha I googled the phone number...
Does this phone number look familiar?

Adult feature films dvd's and vhs
Asking $200 for all. if interested call 812-430-5082. Location: Evansville Northside; it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial ...

Edit #2: Google is scary... the guy's resume is just below ^^that^^

 

[Misplaced Yankee]

Yeah, after going all internet detective and reading his resume I found this gem:

"Attributes: Responsible, punctual, considerate, professional, confident, honest, and hard working. Also excellent problem-solving skills, willing to take on new tasks as well as a fast learner. Looking for advancement."

And he's selling a ton of stuff on craigslist, shingles, baseball cards, microwave etc. It all seems overpriced, do you think he actually sells any of it?

 

[40calPUNISHER]

I would suspect that he is just trying to rip someone off. "Hey buddy, I paid $500 for this gun but will sell it for $300. That will save you $200.... My loss, your gain!"

 

[MoparMan]

Wow you internet detectives are great. So did we figure out if he is a member?

Sounds like he's a "member" alright

If they had a better trigger instead of that cheap plastic toy-like one that had a lot of travel and sideways slop, I would probably have one just to throw under the seat of my pickup truct. I can tolerate those triggers on their 995 carbines, but not on their pistols. I would not ever consider buying one until the trigger is improved. I do not think that the weight would bother me for the uses that I would have for them.

NIB for $120 at pretty much any gun show in Indiana.

Owned both. Seemed like the same trigger to me YMMV
