Over the past week one of the local gun shops has been having a going out of business sale. The owner has decided to retire after having the shop open for years and years. Over the past week the place has been completely mobbed with shoppers.
The sale was done and the doors were closing last Friday night. I decided to check out what was left late on Friday and was suprised to see a very nice, slightly used S&W 686 Plus w/ a 6 inch bbl still in the case. It was marked down to $270 with box, papers, spent casing and both keys to the internal lock. There were two guys at the counter as well who were interested in it and spent 5-10 minutes each playing with it. Both wanted it but neither one could come up with the cash for it.
Before the clerk puts it back in the case I asked to see it. The gun was in great shape, very clean, the cylinder locked tight and the trigger was very good. I was just about to tell the clerk I would take it when the owner walks up and asks if I'm interested in it. I said yes I was interested and he looks at the tag. He says to me. I'll sell it to you for $200. Well needless to say SOLD!!!!!!!
The two guys who looked at it before me both piped in that they would of took it for that. From what I heard, they were holding the gun for someone who was going to buy it. The sale fell through they put it back in the case Friday. You always hear about people getting good deals. Never happened to me before. Well until now that is. It's to bad the place is closing though.
Anyone else have a sweet deal fall into thier lap?
