A bit pissed right now
« on: July 29 2013, 03:10:43 PM »
Well things are tight so I decided to dig through the safe and see if I had something that I could get rid of. Found 3 of my PW's and 2 I haven't used in 10 years or better so I decided to look up values to see what they were worth. Rough estimate between the 3 was between $2500 to $3200 and I decided to see if someone wanted them. Now these are unique items that have been in my personal collection for a while. All 3 are pre  September 1994 and 2 were built before 1946. 2 are legal in most states and 1 is even legal in some restricted states.


So I find a broker for them and included pics to show condition as well owership papers. He asks me what I think they're worth so I go with the lower value. He offers me $1200 for all three and thinks I'll bite. Well since I was in the business for over 10 years I know he's low balling me and told him what I'd expected as far as an offer. He tells me that things don't sell like they used to and I know that's BS to say the least. :013: [size=78%] He sent me an email last night asking what my lowest was and I get one again this morning so I know he's interested. I could honestly use the $ right now but less than 1/2 of what they're worth just isn't what I expected to say the least.[/size]


So do any of you need a few toys to have around that will only go up until the idiots in office decide to try and take them away from us? :cheers:

That's how I got an idea of what they should costs Steve. A preban oly arms ar A2 should be about $1400 and a match grade M1 is about the same. The other is a 45 SMLE #5 mk1 and it between $500 and $800. I know what I'll get if I try and sell locally so I figured it would be easier going this route. I guess not. :013:

Charlie, after seeing the pic you posted of yourself on facebook in your swimming suit...... I would think you would have no need for any "pw's". 
it looks like you could pretty much do some serious butt-kickin with your bare hands.

You should be beating up on Mark not me Aaron. :rolleyes;  If you're interested in some of my weapons I'll be happy to send you some pics and specs so you can get an idea of what they are. I was also an MP and was trained to hit targets at ranges that most wouldn't believe are possible, :rock:  I'll even let you hold the target for me if you want. :rofl:

your too easy of a target, charlie   :icon_lol:
 
I gotta question for ya though....
do you see any need at all for the "laser" lights on small carry/conceal weapons?  or are they just pretty much bling?

If you practice with a laser sight it can help you acquire the target faster but if you practice with a specific weapon all the time it shouldn't make a difference except in low light.

I find that practicing dry firing with the laser on shows me how much I am moving the weapon when I squeeze the trigger.

Still prefer my A2 in most cases or the CAR. Shotguns are great for up to 30 yards but after that I want a rifle. :icon_fU:

Email me the pics and prices of what you want to sell, Charlie.

I might add to the stable, and a buddy collects. He's a licensed firearms dealer too.

Will do and thanks Mark. The interesting thing about the ar is it's an 8/94 preban rifle and since there was a fire at Olympics the only record of it was when it was bought in TN in 94. I got it from the original owners son when his dad ended up in the loony bin. :O  The scary part is "dad" was a class 3 dealer and all of his toys are still there. :wtf:
