I attended the Gun Show here in West Palm Beach over this weekend. I was shocked at the outragious prices dealers/sellers are asking for their weapons. I had the pleasure of watching a well known dealer in this area attempt to rip a 80 year old senior citzen off. The old fellow walked up to the booth and asked the dealer if he bought weapons and the answer was yes. The old guy takes a beautiful NIB blued 6" S&W 27-2 .357 Magnum out and asked the dealer what it was worth. The dealer does a 2 to 3 minute inspection on the revolver and without even a smile says $250 at best, reason the 357 is not in demand. I stepped in and told the old guy it is worth far more than that and I offered him all the cash I hand on me $600. He then asked what I thought it was worth. My guess, about $1,000 to $1,200 . He asked for my telephone number, thanked me and left. Needless to say I am not liked by that dealer.
