"A difference of opinion is what makes horse racing and missionaries." -Will Rogers

Thank goodness we DON'T all like the same thing. That's what makes life interesting.

I just think that when a seller is asking for the premium that is usually associated with condition and originality on a vintage gun, the gun's condition should reflect that. If the price was $10-12k I don't think anyone would raise these arguments. I've generally found that as the price goes up the buyers get pickier about what their dollar is buying. I know I do.

Just my opinion, no more valid than anyone else's.

Cheers,
Bob
