I'm Sick Folks-

[Ala Dan]

For today, I had to pass up a great deal on a 98% 3" factory
nickel 2nd series (1947-1972) Colt Detective Special, with factory
S/N of 855XXX; and manufactuered between 1964-1965, as per
www.Proofhouse.com. These 3" Colts are as rare as hens teeth,
when found in this condition. The price was $529.88, without the
box and docs; but well worth the asking price~! With school fixing
too start, and other financial constraints at this time- I just could
not afford it. For those interested, this weapon can be seen at
Simmons Sporting Goods located at 2001-2nd Ave North in Bessemer,
AL 35020. Please contact Dale Smith or myself, with serious inquiries
only. PX: (205) 425-4720 or (205) 426-0490 Many thanks in advance.

PS: I think everyone here knows me well enough to know, that if I
could have affiorded it; it would have become a personal "SAFE
QUEEN" in my own collection~!

I learned a long time ago, ya can't buy em all.

Hey DRYHUMOR, say it ain't so!

 

[DRYHUMOR]

Yep, it is so, or I would have a collection to rival the Smithsonian's.

What about layaway?

 

[Ala Dan]

Since this is a consignment weapon, I doubt the owner would want too
do LAY-A-WAY~? Usually, he only sells a few of his current inventory of
weapons; to fund other weapon projects~!

That truly would have been a prime prize.

I'm shedding a tear for you Ala Dan. I've been looking for a standard Det. Special for the last six months and all the ones I'm finding seem to be overpriced for condition. Sounds like you found a great one at a great price, but at the wrong time.

Tonight I spoke with the owner of the aforementioned Colt Dick Special;
and much too my surprise, he is not even interested in trades~!

Seems as though he has his mind set on acquiring another "evil black
assault rifle" in the near future, and needs the funds for that project.

3" Factory Nickel Colt Detective Special

Well folks, this deal is now "off the shelf"; as it was purchased by a very
good customer yesterday, 15 AUGUST '08.

I'd have just shot/carried it anyway!
