Congrats on the buy, though.

The title of this post just begs for a different response. LOL

I walked into cabelas about 2 months ago for some sight seeing and ended up with a savage axis in 243 for 199 bucks, it was the last one and they wanted to get rid of it. I had 100 bucks in points and my dad gave me 100 so it worked out really well, hehe. I think its been about 10 years since i had a good deal like that.

Always carry some cash!!

I was waiting at the firearms counter to buy a safe. The guy next to me was trying to sell a rifle to Gander. The clerk told him he would not be able to give him a very good price on the gun and he would be best off to sale it online.

The guy turns to me and says " you want to buy a gun?"

I take a look at it, and its an older Marlin 336 30-30.

All the cash I had on me was $125. The clerk told him the he could not do much better than $125 and it would be more time and paper work.

I got a new safe and a nice old rifle. It was a good day.

I looked it up when I got home. It was manufactured in 1978.

I hate you, just kiddin'.
Gotta love it when deals like that fall in your lap. Did you buy a lottery ticket on the way home?

It's ok, I hate me too, sometimes.

I did not buy a lotto ticket, indeed I should have. I will buy one tomorrow. Lets keep this streak going baby!

Brilliant.

Next time just wear a sandwich board that says "Whatever the guy at the counter says he'll give you, I'll beat it!"

I wonder how soon it would be before you were escorted off the premises.

Yes the title of the thread could be misinterpreted if your mind is in the gutter.
My mind is in the gutter most of the time, hence the title of the thread.

Thank you to all for the congratulations. It can be better to be lucky than good.

I like it.

I think the clerk felt bad for the seller and pushed the guy towards me.

Closest I came to being in the right spot was about 20 yrs. ago. I was just about to enter a pawn shop and a guy came out carrying a noriinco sks. I asked if he just bought it and he said no he was trying to sell it, but they weren't interested in military type rifles. I offered him $60 and I still have it today.

I'm a gonna let you in on a trade secret. If you can find one of those super rare and custom "Tapco" stocks for that there SKS and install it, you would have yourself an easy $500-$600 gun on Armslist. Make sure you put in the selling title the words "tactical", "custom", or "rare". People will go nuts, I guarantee it!
