He said, "$3500." I burst out laughing. <br />So I still don't own a 1917 Colt.

But if you even try to barter or haggle a price today, most vendors will dismiss you immediately because they know that some fool will be by as soon as you're gone to pay whatever their ridiculous asking price is.Murphy's Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17164780742334950772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-90289908254646620612015-02-15T20:11:23.991-06:002015-02-15T20:11:23.991-06:00I guess it is a race to see who can kill off gun s...I guess it is a race to see who can kill off gun shows faster. The Commies in the government, or the greedy vendors. I used to go to gun shows with my dad, and saw him barter and deal and such, and as I got older I would run into him on occasion...It was a way of life in our family. Sadly, he is gone now, and so is most of fun at gun shows. The world is poorer for both.Jesse in DChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13476405390310290790noreply@blogger.com
