    Raven P-25

    I was just in Turner's in Pasadena, and in the consignment cabinet was a used nickel-plated Raven Arms P-25 in .25ACP for $299. Yes, $299!

    I bet you all wished you'd run out and bought as many as you could carry home, when they were selling for $69.

    $299 for this?

      I don't know if Turner's allow customer to set their price, or did they coach their customer during the process to set the price so they can at least be realistic about it. $299 for a Raven, Damn...

          Was it really 299? Maybe it was a jacked up $ sign and it is $99. I couldn't see spending much more on one, even if you like the things.

          My MIL has one and a few weeks ago asked me to clean it up for her. I found a nice squib still stuck in the barrel.

            No, it's really $299. I saw it too, and it's also listed in the Turners "online used guns for sale" list.

              You must have missed the decimal point. It's worth about $2.99.

                Yup, thats about what any reasonable person would pay for it. 2.99.
                Look at the tyranny of party -- at what is called party allegiance, party loyalty -- a snare invented by designing men for selfish purposes -- and which turns voters into chattles, slaves, rabbits, and all the while their masters, and they themselves are shouting rubbish about liberty, independence, freedom of opinion, freedom of speech, honestly unconscious of the fantastic contradiction...

                  Personally, I would never be interested in a pistol chambered in .25ACP, let alone a "Ring of Fire" gun. I cannot imagine Ravens to ever be collectable.

                    It sure would sell well in Oakland, Richmond, or Compton

                      Maybe he's just hoping someone will see the tiny gun and go for it, not knowing what a POS it is.

                        Maybe they misplaced the decimal and meant $2.99. Geesh what are they thinking man!

                          Wow, that is just despicable. I dont even know what to say. For 300 dollars I have bought a Glock, a Smith chiefs special, and a few other pretty nice guns. I think I paid 49 dollars for my Raven.

                            How much is a Raven really worth in today's market? I don't know, but I bought my son a bolt-action 30-06 for $240 and the guy threw in the Raven he also had for sale. I figure I paid $0.00 and it was a very fair price. (BTW the pistol feeds/functions/ejects no problems, and appears barely used)
