The shop owner got his $25 transfer fee ? That was his due? Is there a part of this I don't understand? What happened to his reasonable profit had he had the chance to buy and then resale the gun? It was his shop, his business that brought the seller there, he would have made possibly $100 to $200 had he had the chance to sell the gun and you paid $25 and called it square? I have bought guns from a gun store customer three times, at two different stores and each time had a quick talk to the business owner about what would be a fair amount for him----after all, if you weren't in his store, you would not even have known that gun existed. At least you could have given him $125 so he could make at least something in his place of business ----it's a beautiful revolver, the 686's have always been a favorite of mine, I have one----and you really made out real well, now show a little gratitude to the shop owner and let him make a little something on a gun sale in his store ----
