I know...Hognutz wrote:Friends don't steal from friends..
its been a few years since I have bought or sold a really nice A5.
I have had a few dozen over the last 20 years.
The fondest memory is my son and I down in Indy at the gunshot. I had 650 bucks. Fellar had a magnum 20 with improved cyl barrel.
Wanted 800...I looked around for a ATM an amy son, 9 at the time, kept asking me if I was buying it.
That guy sold it to me for 650. Walked to the other side of the show and was offered 1600. I didn't sell it. It was like brand new without a blemish. I don't think it was shot.
I had it for a year, and my cousin wanted it so bad, he paid me 500 cash and did the approach and half my drive in concrete for it. (he has a concrete business.)
We added it up, and I had 150 in a 5k job. approach was huge and thick!
