Funny , nobody called him a shyster or scalper .

Except that is NO demand for $1900 1950's 99R's. None. Zero. Zilch.

If there's a demand, show me a few more 99R's in 300 that sold for $1900 or above. There's a ton of 1950's 99R's in 300, so should be easy to find.

The seller's name is now worth a 25%-50% premium to any gun he sells. The gun itself wouldn't sell for that much in any other venue. In fact it just sold for 40% of what somebody paid this seller.

Do you spend 25% to 50% more for a truck because it's being sold by a nice dealer? Would you consider that sane?


There's obviously a demand if it sold .

Who cares that there is a premium associated with the sellers name ? ( full disclosure : I don't know and haven't done any business with aforementioned seller ) .

25% - 50% premium because of a nice seller ? Nope . But what is equally insane is worrying about something that is totally out of your control .
