Was up in the next county north of me grocery shopping a couple months ago and stopped at a garage sale. They had a table full of guns. A couple AR15's, a couple single shot shotguns, a couple 22LR's and a few handguns.
The guns that stuck out to me were an original Colt Lightning Pump Rifle in 38 Colt for $1000. A Winchester 1897 12 gauge pump for $300 and a milled Norinco Mak90 AK for $350.
I grabbed the Mak90 and Winchester 1897 - $600 for both. Been using the 1897 for Cowboy Action Shooting. The Mak90 was such a deal, I couldn't pass it up. However, I already have 6 other AKM's to choose from.
Found the Redhawk on Armslist. The price posted was $800 - trade up or down. Messaged the seller pics of the Norinco and he instantly responded with interest. I stated I would even trade my rifle for his pistol. I also sent him a link to the most recent sold auctions on gunbroker for similar milled Mak90's. At the time one had sold for $720 and one had sold for $1400.

We met at Bass Pro and traded. Seller was an older fella.
19 years ago, I put a 45 Colt Ruger Redhawk on layaway for about a day. Changed my mind and bought something else. When these 45 Colt / 45 Auto Redhawks came out I wanted one. Just didn't want to spend what Ruger was asking for them. Well I think a "$300" Redhawk is pretty good deal.
