I think this is an omen...

[oerllikon]

Hey THR,
I just had a very odd coincidence. My friend is selling his gently used GP 100 blued 6" for $300 because he needs money. First of all, this seems like a pretty good price. Second of all, one of my paychecks was $357 and change. Id like to help him out, and Ive also had my eye on a gp. Any thoghts?

 

[Rail Driver]

Buy it!

 

[MarkDozier]

He your friend,
Needs money
Wants 300 give him 350.00
use 25 and change for ammo

 

[WardenWolf]

Sounds like one. Go for it. The GP100 is HUGE but a nice gun.

Things happen how, when, where, and with whom they are supposed to happen.

If you pass up this opportunity this time, there will be a tingling in the back of your mind the next time one comes on your radar, and you will learn to trust it.

Besides it's off paper. ???

 

[joshk-k]

+1 to everything Lex said.

 

[19-3Ben]

Huge +1. get it.

 

[Legionnaire]

Buy it ... or send him to me!

 

[mmitch]

Is that the gun you would choose?

300 is a good buy. considering the circumstances, I would buy it in a heart beat.

 

[Ruger GP100 fan]

Great deal. I have the exact same gun in SS...paid almost $600 new. Grab it!

 

[owlhoot]

That isn't an omen. It's kismet.

 

[neededausername]

Great gun, great price. If you don't want a heavy overbuilt .357 then tell your friend about THR. I love to shoot my friends if he offered it to me for that price it would be mine.

 

[oerllikon]

Alright, you guys talked me into it

 

[Lex Luthier]

Good man.

Now remember that feeling when you know you're getting not just a good, but the right deal, and you'll never get taken again. Congratulations. Bang bang.

 

[youngda9]

Buy it, but at a more fair price.

I feel $300 is taking advantage of a friend during his time of need...friends should be doing the exact opposite of that.

 

[harmon rabb]

yeah, i think a $357 paycheck is definitely an omen there nice purchase. i have to agree with some of the above though, if it was a friend in need, i'd have paid more, because $300 for a good condition GP100 is pretty much theft.

 

[teumessian_fox]

Seller sold it. Buyer bought it. End of story. Everybody got what they wanted.

But those wrenches are too big for that gun.

 

[towboat_er]

I agree. I'd probably tell him I'll sell it back to you within a year at $300

 

[Pigoutultra]

I could have sworn that was a snake in that picture.

 

[Frozen North]

I agree. I'd probably tell him I'll sell it back to you within a year at $300

That is my general rule with friends and family too. It is a "secured loan" for 365 days. I have bought plenty of stuff this way. A sale is a sale when your friend wants to sell to finance another purchace, but "I am broke and need money for rent" is a little different.

Enjoy!

 

[oerllikon]

Well, he was telling me about how he wanted to buy a S&W 357 or .44 sometime down the road, but if he wants it back Ill sell it back to him. Reluctantly, because this big hunk of iron just feels right!

 

[ZCORR Jay]

I'd say that was a win win. You donated money to a friend and won a sweet prize

Enjoy
