Hello,
I am new to this site so please bear with me. I purchased a HK P 30 for my wife for Christmas. She is replacing a Beretta 92FS Custom Carry because it just dosen't fit her. That's the reason it has less than 50 rounds thru it. I want her to go shooting with me and she ends up shooting my XD40 all the time. I know this model Beretta is no longer made and is way cooler looking than a standard one so I took it the the place I bought it to get a trade estimate on it. All but one of the six guys there said they have never seen one of these. Only the manager knew of the gun. He asked if the gun was even fired!!! He checked the gun out and raved at how good the condition was. He then went back to his files and found the origional sales record of the gun. I paid $550.00 for it several years ago. He then proceeded to insult me with an offer of $250.00 for the gun.Now guys, I'm no rocket scientist but if they no longer make the firearm, and it is in such great condition, shoulden't I have gotten at least about what I paid for it???:banghead: I understand it is a buisness but to insult me like that caused him to loose a sale on a very expensive firearm. Your opinons will be greatly appreciated. I may just keep it for a while. It don't eat anything. Thanks for any advise and have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! I know my wife will.
P.S. As you can see I'm not very politically correct so if you don't like what you read in the few lines DON'T READ IT AGAIN
