For six months I have been searching high and low for a particular revolver. Been outbid on Gunbroker several times. Had a few offered at prices I couldn't meet. Had a couple get bought out from under me before I could get through to the sellers. All very frustrating.
Then today in my email inbox was a note from a member on another forum who saw my want to buy post and offered me exactly what I wanted at 2/3 the amount I was willing to spend. I quickly agreed and made arrangements to send payment to his FFL who will ship it.
Then when I hit the send button and my inbox opened again, there was a another message from another forum member. A local pawn shop has one as well, priced at about 1/3 of my spending limit because it's been refinished. I want a shooter grade gun, anyway. I already agreed to the earlier deal so I will buy that gun.
But I just may have to buy both of them.
