just picked up a new to me model 25-5 yesterday. it had been in a gunshop on consignment for $475. went back several time to work on the owner to try to get him to come down to a reasonable price. was hoping for about $400. guy wouldn't budge. finally, after a couple of weeks, he says that he will go $450. i was on the SW forum and was mentioning this, and a guy emails me to see if i am interested in one just like it, best of all for $350. he lives in the next town, and is a parole officer there. we start talking and we realize that its the same gun as the one in the shop. the guy was trying to make $125 on the consignment gun. glad i waited and got the gun i wanted for a lot less..good ending to the old year..
