Know-Nothing Cornball at Flea Market

You guys are gonna love this.

I went to a flea market yesterday and an old guy had a Kel-Tec P-11 sitting on the table, with a half-full plastic tray of 9mm FMJ ammo. He also had a bunch of beat up .22s and some old shotguns. I looked the P-11 over, and it looked exceptionally clean, so I asked the guy how much. Take a guess what he told me?

"I got five hundred on that one. That there's a Glock - the best you can buy. They're brought in here from Germany. All the cops carry 'em. See that frame? It's plastic. That's what everybody wants these days. If you want it, I'll let ya have it for four-seventy-five. Five with the ammo."

My response?:rolleyes:

"You gotta be kidding me, pal. I've got a GLock, and that's NO Glock. That's a Kel-Tec P-11. Do you see the logo on the butt(pointing)? That says "Kel-Tec", not "Glock". And if it comes from "Germany" why does it say Cocoa, Florida right here(pointing)? Look buddy, I don't know who you're leg you're trying to pull, but I can buy TWO of these things new outta the store for less than four seventy five. One seventy five, mabye. But you're about three hundred bucks off. And I can buy a full box of ammo for about six bucks."

His reply?:barf:
He just looks at me kind of dumbfounded and says "Well, that's what my grandson told me. I'm selling it for him. I really don't know much about guns. But I can't come down any on it."

This jackass is in the same spot every weekend, and has been there peddling a few guns and fishing lures ever since I can remember - I go every week. 500$! WTF!? Talk about trying to stick it in and break it off! Mind boggling.

IMHO, this guy needs to stay away from guns period, as
apparently he hasn't learned to read just yet. Probably
would cause a diaster on the firing line.:eek: :( :rolleyes:

Or......
Maby he is a lot swifter in the head than indicated by outward appearances. If he gets laughed at by twenty and gets his price from one...he way ahead.

Amazing what some flatlanders will pay for junk when they think they are smarter than the old hillbilly behind the table.

Money doesn't cure stupid. And there are ducks out there with money, egos and minimal brains.

Sam....Leave no duck unplucked.:D
 
(snicker)

Had one cornball at a flea market try to sell a Garand enbloc with 7 crusty rounds in it for $50. And it wasn't an error on the price tag, either!
 
Last time I encountered a hillbilly at a gunshow, I walked away with a Smith & Wesson Model 28, 99.99995% condition, for $250.

If you know anything about Northern Virginia gun prices, you'll know that's a freaking STEAL.
 
yeah sometimes it is fun to be on the other end of the stupid spectrum- to say yeah- i think that 44 redhawk or something revolver goes for around $200 new in box and i will pay you 190 for it.....hahahahahaa
 
Okay, here's another one!

Some months ago my step-daughter was engaged to some phony kid who claimed he was a Lt. in the Marine Corp and that his dad was a federal marshal killed in the line of duty, etc.

I checked out both claims and both were total lies.

How does it relate to this post? He decided his "calling in life" was to work for a bail bondsman as a bounty hunter. I'll never forget the day he showed up at the house with a Lorcin .380 and told me he "only gave $300 for it.":rolleyes:

He even had a little handwritten bill-of-sale from the seller!! I have no idea how the seller kept a straight face while she wrote that.:D

Anyway, it was just the final nail in the coffin for that budding romance and I'm proud to say he's history and she has realized what a scumbag he is.

Laugh at the old hick with the bib overalls and shabby boots.
He may just be laughin back........on the way to the bank.

Reminds me to the time a buddy & I came upon a used Ruger MkII at a Army Rod & Gun Club that "had a locked-up bolt" that couldn't be pulled all the way back and, since it was "broken was being sold for $50. We could tell that it had be re-assembled incorrectly and my buddy got a really good deal.......
 
That's what they bank on. They see enough people at a show that they know some sucker will come by. True Capitalism in action!
 
Some of the dumbest people known live east of Old Miss., the dumbest people known living west of Old Miss. get elected and sent east to D.C..:p :D
 
May have been here on TFL. . .

Read about a guy that ran into a H&K P7M8 in a pawnshop in Montana. Near mint condition. Out the door for $250 IIRC.

:eek:

Hey Jack Carson-

That dude didn't land in Oklahoma by way of Alabama
did he? Just wondering, cuz we had a similar dude that
made those claim's; + he was a bouncer for the NWO.
Ended up this scumbag actually worked for a now defunk
amusement park. At any rate, he showed up with a bail
enforcement agent's badge and a pair of Spanish made
handcuff's. The amusement park ran him off cuz he was
a roper-doper, and REFUSED to take care of his
personal hygenie.

Don't remember him mentioning 'Bama but it sure sounds like him. I think I remember him saying he had a set of cuffs but I never saw them. I never saw him filthy but he was not on familiar terms with his barber or a razor either!
