Ade's consignment gun update thread!!!

[SVTNate]

I was in there today. Virulosity's USP45 is still there, but the price has dropped to $699. That "unfired" USP45 Elite is still in the case, too. Some old S&W revolvers, a two-tone XD, a Sig GSR... that's what I remember seeing.

What happened to Greg? Is Ade going to get another person to help him?

Greg wanted more money so he left, the new guy is Jim, very nice guy but he's unfamiliar with the system, so have patience when dealing with him.

[Scouter]

how new is he? he still didn't know how to do ANY of the paperwork, Ade was doing every one of them for him when I was there as well as trying to do his own paperwork. He's not very knowledgeable about the firearms and features either, good guy, but needs to brush up on his skills asap for the customers sake.

think he's been there for 3 weeks now, it does take him a LONG time to do the paper work, each time I was there it took him 2 hours to do the DROS and all necessary paper work. good thing i didn't have anything to do that day

Is Greg the asian guy? If so, I think he was the one that helped me with my dros and paperwork during pick up of my pistols. What's his Calguns SN?

Greg's the asian guy, don't know what his handle is.

Gregg is the tubby, ugly Asian guy with the rainbow sticker on the back of his Toyota pickup who used to work for Ade

Actually Gregg is a great guy (as far as tubby, ugly guys go) and a friend of mine. I know his CalGuns screen name, but I'm not sure if he's ever actually said on here who he really is, so I won't divulge that information unless he chooses to do so himself (I don't see why he would want to keep it unknown, but I don't want to be *that guy* who opens his mouth when he shouldn't either).

I wish Gregg still worked with Ade. He gets DROS'es done quickly, would always PM me when my guns came in, and did me many favors. Luckily, we still go shooting, and I still make him install night sights on my carry guns

[RT13]

I thought he was "Dump...."here a calguns. If not, my bad. But anyway, Gregg's a good guy to work with and was the guy who ran my dros and paperwork for when I bought my Sigs from Ade. I think he's filipino. That sucks if he's gone and from the way Ade's new apprentice sounds, I'm not too enthusiastic. I'm afraid of going to Ade's because I always see something I want each time. I am yet to go there to window shop and walk away w/o a receipt.

[Black Majik]

Gregg definitely was quick to get DROSes done quickly. I remember meeting a felow Calgunner to do a PPT and all I had to do was sign here, sign there, do a little chit chat and I was outta there. Vs... say Turners which takes 1.5 hrs to complete a simple PPT.

I've been laggin' on getting a new gun, so I haven't seen how the new guy is. But I'm sure he'll learn the ropes soon enough.

While I see a whole buncha updates thread on Ade's shop from "Dump1567", that ain't gregg..

[Dump1567]

I'm not Gregg, just a loyal customer for the past 5 years.

It sounds like nows a good time for a young, knowledgable, hard worker, who wants to take over a gun shop, to go talk to Ade about a job.

Ade's an old man and will probably be out of the gun shop business in the next few years.

[jmlivingston]

I hear George down at SVG is looking to retire soon as well. Fortunately there's the new shop down here by his place which looks like it might do well.

I just picked up my P220 Carry TT SAO on Tuesday and I thought it was lost or stolen. They couldn't find my pistol for about 20 mins of searching. Ade, Andrew and Jim were all looking for it, and I almost wanted to jump in the back with them to help search for it but they eventually found it. But the P220ST's are still there and an HK USP40f and compact and USP45 and I believe an Elite. A couple of Glocks too. But I can't remember the rest. I have selective memory.
